It’s Official: ‘90210’ Returns This Summer on Fox

A revival of “Beverly Hills, 90210” has been buzzed about for months, but it’s now official. Original cast members Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green (who are Jewish) plus Jason Priestley and Jennie Garth will reprise their roles in a six-episode “90210” miniseries this summer.

The actors will play heightened versions of themselves in the series, inspired by their real lives and relationships. The very meta plot begins 19 years after the original series ended, and follows the actors’ efforts to mount a reboot.

“‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ left an indelible impact on pop culture and an entire generation,” Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn 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.’”
