We have good news or bad news, depending on which side of the "Saved by the Bell: Saturday Morning Abomination or Delightful 80s Nostalgic Romp?" debate you fall. An announcement made on the Adult Swim website claiming that 30 new episodes of the series had been ordered was a hoax:

According to James Anderson, the vice president of public relations for Adult Swim, there are no plans to bring "Bell" back. [...]

"The whole thing is just the people behind Adult Swim being who they are. When 'Saved by the Bell' first started airing, it created such a divide between [Adult Swim] fans that the people here had to make a joke about it," Anderson laughed. " 'Saved by the Bell' is not coming back. We're not going to do that. It was just the people here being blasphemous."

Disappointed fans should take heart: While their dreams of seeing Tiffani Thiessen, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and the rest of the gang reunited for another whack at the Bell turned out to be nothing more than the internet mischief of a couple bored Adult Swim producers, with 80s TV series like The A-Team and Knight Rider currently the fashionable go-to source for idea-starved movie execs, it shouldn't be long before Bell gets the big screen reimagining treatment. The material seems ripe for an Old School-take featuring any combination of Vaughn, Wilson, Stiller and Ferrell elements, plus, in a perfect casting universe, Jon Heder stepping into Screech's high-top Chuck Taylors.
