We're family friendly today! News from Netflix say that they have just hired Tiffani Thiessen to star in their new multi camera sitcom ALEXA & KATIE which is to premiere on Netflix next year with a 13 episode first season.

ALEXA & KATIE is about two lifelong best friends Alexa (Paris Berelc) and Katie (Isabel May), who are eagerly anticipating the start of their freshman year of high school. The friends confront a crisis that leaves them feeling like outsiders at a time when what seems to matter most is fitting in. Thiessen will be Alexa’s determined and protective mother Lori. After starring in Saved By the Bell as a teen and then in BH90210, Thiessen has hosted her own cooking show Dinner at Tiffani's last three years on the Cooking Channel. She will soon publish a cook book as well.
