The Beverly Hills, 90210 [1] gang is coming back — though not in the way we originally expected. Instead of the initially assumed reboot [2] that would bring back the cast as their iconic characters, the revival — which has officially been ordered at Fox [3] — will see original series cast members playing exaggerated versions of themselves [4] in an hour-long mockumentary-style dramedy. The group reunites to work out a 90210 reboot but run into drama before they can actually get anything off the ground.
It's been confirmed that Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling [5], Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green [6], and Gabrielle Carteris are all returning for the six-episode revival. Luke Perry will not be part of the revival as he died after suffering a massive stroke [7] before production began. Several non-90210 stars have also joined the cast, making the new series a perfect blend of something old and something new!
Check out all the returning stars and the new faces that are set to bring us a different side of Beverly Hills ahead.
