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 up, but run into drama before they can actually get anything off the ground.
It's been confirmed that Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling [5], Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green [6], and Gabrielle Carteris are all returning for the six-episode revival, while other notable alums, like Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry, are not currently attached. Perry, who recently suffered a stroke [7], is busy with his role as Fred Andrews on Riverdale [8], though the network is keeping the door open for either former member to appear on the show.
Check out who will be returning to bring us a different side of Beverly Hills ahead!
