Just months after the production concluded, Zeigler was cast as a series regular on Fox Television's "Drexell's Class" (starring Dabney Coleman). Playing the role of "Nicole Finnigan", an elementary school student in "Mr. Drexell's" class, Zeigler's co-stars also included Jason Biggs, Matthew Lawrence, Brittany Murphy, and A. J. Langer. Heidi Zeigler declared her retirement after "Drexell's Class" was cancelled in 1992, citing her desire to attend public school.
