It’s time to return to West Beverly Hills High…sort of. FOX has announced that they are reviving Beverly Hills, 90210 for a summer event series but there will be a twist.
The six-episode event series will see original stars Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling play heightened versions of themselves shopping a reboot of, you guessed it, Beverly Hills, 90210.
The series, which has been in the works for nearly a year since Spelling and Garth began taking meetings for it, hails from writers and exec producers Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler, who came up with the new take alongside Spelling and Garth. The writing duo previously worked on The CW’s 90210 reboot. All six returning stars will also receive an executive producer credit on the project as well.
Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 seasons and was the Aaron Spelling’s longest-running show (edging out Dynasty). The series followed a group of friends from high school to college and beyond. It became a pop culture phenomenon and spawned a spinoff, Melrose Place. Both shows were rebooted at The CW, with that 90210 running for five seasons and wrapping in 2013 and Melrose Place clocking in at one season in 2009-10.
