The actors will not be playing their characters from the show, but rather a “heightened version of themselves”. Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, the stars reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running. As per Michael Thorn, President of entertainment for Fox, Beverly Hills 90210 left a major impact on pop culture and an entire generation. “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.” he added while making the announcement. The original series ran for 10 seasons between 1990 to 2000. The show followed the lives and loves of a group of teenagers living in star-studded Beverly Hills. It also addressed the current day issues like date rape, drug abuse, suicide, AIDS and teenage pregnancy. While CBS Television Studios and Fox Entertainment will produce, Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler will write and executive produce the 90210 series. Watch the official announcement here:
