Original 90210 cast members sign on for reboot

The original cast members of TV classic Beverly Hills, 90210 have signed on to revisit the show for a forthcoming mini-series.
Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling are all slated to appear in the six episode run, but fans expecting a straight follow-up of the show, which ended in 2000, may be disappointed as the upcoming show isn’t quite a reboot.
The series will feature the stars as versions of themselves as they revisit their characters.
“The core cast will all play heightened versions of themselves in a brand-new serialized drama – with a healthy dose of irreverence – that is inspired by their real lives and relationships,” a statement from bosses at Fox, the show’s network, reads. “Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Jason, Jennie, Ian, Gabrielle, Brian and Tori reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running.
“But getting it going may make for an even more delicious soap than the reboot itself. What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast – whom the whole world watched grow up together – attempts to continue from where they left off?”
Absent from the reunion will be Riverdale star Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty, who were among the original cast of the hit show.
