90210 is back! Again, sort of…
Fox announced their plans to reunite the cast of Beverly Hills 90210, the 90’s pop-culture phenomenon, for a six-episode summer event series.
The six-episode event series will be following the original cast of 90210 - as fictional versions of themselves. It's a scripted series a la Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The CW previously had a reboot with new and returning cast members, this will be different, not a true 90210 revival, but instead a scripted series about them getting back together for a revival. According to Fox, the show will have a "healthy dose of irreverence – that is inspired by their real lives and relationships." The show will pick up with the cast having gone their separate ways after the original series ended 19 years ago and looks at what happens next when they get back together for a potential revival.
Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling are returning. Luke Perry was not set to participate in the reboot due to scheduling with Riverdale, although Tori Spelling has said he will try to appear when he can.
"Beverly Hills, 90210 left an indelible impact on pop culture and an entire generation," Michael Thorn, president of entertainment at Fox, said in a statement. "Its powerful legacy is an important part of our network's DNA—bold stories not told anywhere else and bigger-than-life-characters—and we're honored to bring back the beloved original cast members for 90210."
