After an initial run of 10 seasons, Beverly Hills, 90210 was given new life in the form of CW's 90210 reboot. While most of the original cast avoided appearing in the new incarnation, a few key cast members returned, reprising their original roles. Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling, and Jennie Garth all signed on for the initial season of the reboot, but over the first two seasons, the characters disappeared on screen, with the series moving in a different direction. Unfortunately, the situation is not fondly remembered by Garth, who seemingly regrets her participation in 90210.

Garth recently reunited with several of her former co-stars for 90s Con in Daytona, having plenty to say about her time on the 90210 sequel series. According to People, despite Brian Austen Green acknowledging the concept of the series being something he likes, Garth couldn't help but express her desire to turn back the clock and...

Jennie Garth is slamming the Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot, and even her part in the series. The Og 90210 aired for ten seasons from 1990 to 2000 where Jennie played Kelly Taylor.

Keep reading for more on what she had to say.

Jennie Garth Slams 90210 Reboot

Beverly Hills, 90210 defined a generation and the nineties as a while. Brenda and Brandon Walsh were twins from Minnesota who transplanted to Beverly Hills, feeling so out of place at West Beverly High. They soon bonded with the popular kids and went through all the trials and tribulations of being teens. Viewers watched them graduate, head off to college, graduate again, and try their hands in the real world. After a decade, the show ended with...

Jennie Garth, star of Beverly Hills, 90210, actually didn’t love returning for The CW’s reboot years later.

The actress, who reprised her role as Kelly Taylor in 90210, which ran from 2008 to 2013, shared that she regretted participating in the remake during a recent panel at ’90s Con in Florida. “I wish I hadn’t done it. No offense to them,” she said, via People.

“The producer was a friend of a friend, and I remember he came over in my living room, sat me down, [billed it as] this chance of a lifetime. He asked me to do it and I didn’t know how to say no then,” Garth added. “But the people were very nice and all the best to them.”

Garth, Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling were the only original actors to return for 90210, which starred Shenae Grimes-Beech and AnnaLynne McCord and followed wealthy kids at West Beverly Hills High School.

Jennie Garth isn't thrilled about her involvement in 90210, a reboot of the hit TV series Beverly Hills, 90210. She now says she wishes she wouldn't have returned for the newer show.

Garth is known in part for her starring role as Kelly Taylor in Beverly Hills, 90210. She was also a big part of 90210, which saw Garth return alongside other franchise stars like Shannen Doherty, Ann Gillespie, Tori Spelling, and Joe E. Tata. Per People, Garth shared her thoughts on the reboot while attending a 90s Con panel with original series co-stars Brian Austin Green, Gabrielle Carteris, and Ian Ziering, per People.

Jason Priestley has been a television icon since the '90s, which has resulted in a sizable net worth. The Canadian actor is of course best known for playing the morally upright Brandon Walsh in the hit teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, but Priestley successfully transitioned from a teen idol to a multifaceted entertainer. In addition to acting, he also works behind the camera, and has directed many TV episodes. He's since returned to his roots, starring in Canadian series like Call Me Fitz, Private Eyes, and most recently CBC's Wild Cards, which was just renewed for a second season.

Born in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Jason Priestley grew up in a family deeply connected to the arts. His mother, Sharon Kirk, was an actress and acting coach, which likely sparked his early interest in performance. After attending Argyle Secondary School, Priestley pursued an acting career in Hollywood. In...

As the entertainment world continues to mourn the passing of TV titan Shannen Doherty, catching up with her Charmed cast mates may do some therapeutic good. In addition to leaving an indelible mark in the 1990s as Brenda Walsh on the hit teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, Doherty revamped her TV persona by starring as Prue Halliwell in Charmed's first three seasons, trading her innocent teen image for a spell-casting witch who acts with love and kindness.

The actress passed away on Saturday following a prolonged battle with breast cancer, her publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed to People.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane stated.

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015, which later spread to her lymph nodes.

She underwent a unilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. In June 2023, she announced that the cancer had metastasized to her brain and was terminal.

Earlier this year, Doherty said a “miracle” cancer infusion had given her new hope. The late actress discussed the treatment in a conversation with her radiation oncologist, Dr. Amin Mirhadi, on an episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast.

Tahmoh Penikett's career continued to flourish after he played Captain Helo Agathon in Battlestar Galactica. Penikett's post-Battlestar career includes roles in Dollhouse, Supernatural, and Devil in Ohio. The star also has also been cast in two upcoming feature film roles.

Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has appeared in quite a few projects since the end of the iconic television show. 2005's Battlestar Galactica was a reimagining of the iconic 1978 science fiction show of the same name, which spawned a wide-ranging multimedia franchise. Before appearing on the show, Penikett proved his sci-fi credentials by making one of his first-ever appearances on Stargate Sg-1 before appearing in a variety of Canadian television programs in the early 2000s, including Just Cause and Cold Squad.

Many of the cast members in Beverly Hills, 90210 season 1 were significantly older than their characters, which was a source of criticism when the show first aired. By the time the show concluded that characters had become adults, which made the age difference between cast and character less noticeable. While it's difficult to look past when revisiting the show in the 2020s, the practice of getting adults to play teenagers was the norm when 90210 debuted in the 1990s.

While Beverly Hills, 90210 is one of the most iconic teen sitcoms ever to grace the small screen, a common criticism of the show concerned how old the cast of 90210 was. Set in West Beverly High, a fictional high school in an affluent area of Los Angeles, California, all the main characters were high school students, which means they should have been about 16 when the show began. Yet many actors...

Tori Spelling Admits Being ‘Swayed’ To Dislike Shannen Doherty

Being on Beverly Hills, 90210, it was all about a group of very close friends who went from high school to college and what came after. In the midst of it all, they experienced the highs and lows that come with growing up. At the same time, the cast had its own ups and downs but the series managed to last ten seasons and spawn the most popular spinoff, Melrose Place. With twenty-four years having gone by since the series finale, some friendships have mended while others are still fractured.

Exclusive: Welcome back to WeHo. Three popular Melrose Place original cast members, Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton and Daphne Zuniga, are reuniting for a followup to the 1990s staple. A Melrose Place reboot, with the trio attached to star, is in development at CBS Studios and is currently being shopped to networks and streamers, Deadline has learned.

Written by Lauren Gussis, creator/executive producer on the Netflix/CBS Studios series Insatiable, the new Melrose Place picks up years after the original series, created by Darren Star, and would provide an update on the beloved characters, one of whom may no longer be with us.

In the new installment, when one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the Og residents of Melrose Place gather to honor the deceased. But the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters...

Shannen Doherty is opening up about a scuffle she had with Jennie Garth on the set of Beverly Hills, 90210 — one that required two of their co-stars to step in to prevent the situation from escalating.

As Doherty explains in the March 4 episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, Garth was doing something called “Pants-Down Day, where she would pull the pants [of] some of the crew members in a funny way.” But according to Doherty, “some of them were getting pretty annoyed” by Garth’s prank, inspiring Doherty to pull one of her own.

"Beverly Hills, 90210" was a landmark TV show that spoke to an entire generation of teen viewers and lasted for 10 seasons from 1990-2000. The spin-off series "Melrose Place" ran for seven seasons from 1992-1999 and focused on a group of young adults living in an apartment complex in West Hollywood. "BH90210" was a meta-revival of the original show that followed the original cast members as they navigate the decision to reboot the series and confront the challenges of aging in Hollywood.

Created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling, Beverly Hills, 90210 remains one of the most popular teen dramas in TV history. The series follows Minnesota transplants Brandon (Jason Priestly) and Brenda Walsh (Shannon Doherty), two all-American midwesterners who relocate to the affluent suburbs of Los Angeles and experience a whirlwind of culture shock.

TV reboots and revivals often struggle without the original actors, as their absence can detract from the new story. Some actors decline offers to return due to financial disagreements or personal reasons. The success of a reboot is questionable if key characters are missing, as seen in shows like Frasier and Full House.

Reboots and revivals of older TV shows are abundant today, but not all of them manage to secure the actors from the original series. Some have simply moved on to other projects and don't want to work backward, while a few of the stars from classic sitcoms like Full House or Will & Grace have retired from acting altogether. Others do not appear to support the idea of a reboot in general, recognizing that it would be better to let the original series stand as it is.

While some TV reboots and revivals turn out all right,...

Following poor ratings during its first season, the series gained momentum after Fox aired a summer season.

Back in the 2000s, Charmed was considered to be one of the best fantasy dramas thanks to its talented cast and dynamic characters. Airing on the WB Network between 1998 and 2006, Charmed followed the lives of the Halliwell Sisters (known as the Charmed ones), who come from a family of witches and spend most of their lives trying to save the world from the demonic underworld. While the battle between good and evil is always at the heart of most stories, the writers made sure that the series wasn't completely dark as they included elements of romance and comedy.

While Shannen Doherty, Hollie Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and Rose McGowan often stood out among the Charmed cast due to the fact that they got the most screen time, the show also featured several other talented stars too who either played warlocks, demons, whitelighters, or Elders.

Chucky Season 2 Episode 4 was a unique hour that broke the fourth wall, introduced a bunch of celebrities, and showcased some big returns.

Off the bat, I wasn't interested in the show's attempt at bringing people from Jennifer Tilly's life into the orbit because I figured it would break the immersion of the series.

I couldn't have been more wrong because throwing Meg Tilly, Sutton Stracke, and Gina Gershon into the mix as heightened versions of themselves worked well to show that Tiffany is keeping up this ruse as the actress.

It reminded me of BH90210 in terms of the setup and how the series kept tipping the hat to the real world.

Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly have a lot of chemistry that continues to translate very well onto the screen, but I didn't peg Gershon as the butler killer.

“BH90210” was described by Variety as a “soapy parody” that gave “the actors behind our favorite characters the space to play versions of themselves while poking fun at the public personas, rabid fans and roles that made them famous.” It saw original series cast members Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty playing heightened versions of themselves, rather than their original characters.

“Brooke has been an important and trusted part of our team, playing an invaluable role in helping shape and implement our blueprint to expand and diversify Fox’s slate,” said Thorn. “Supremely creative, well-respected across town and fearless in taking big swings, she is primed to take over the reins; and I’m excited to have her alongside as we steer our drama strategy well into the future.”

Exclusive: Charlie Andrews has stepped down as EVP, Drama Programming and Development at Fox Entertainment after fours years as head of the broadcast network’s drama department. He is succeeded by Brooke Bowman, most recently SVP, Drama Programming and Development, who has been promoted to EVP, Drama Programming and Development.

Based in Los Angeles and reporting to Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn, Bowman will supervise the development and production of new and returning scripted drama series for the network.

Andrews, a well liked development executive, took over the Fox drama department in November 2017. His departure was amicable; I hear his contract was up and he left to pursue bigger responsibilities elsewhere as the top executive deck at Fox is pretty stacked.

As SVP Drama Programming and Development for the past six years, Bowman oversaw such series as The Resident, Prodigal Son, Lethal Weapon, BH90210, Rosewood, Scream Queens, Sleepy Hollow and,...

Shannen Doherty has acted since she was a child, and throughout the 1980s, she worked steadily on television (as Jenny on “Little House on the Prairie”) and in movies (as Heather Duke in “Heathers”). In the early ‘90s, she achieved icon status after the slow-burn explosion of the teen soap “Beverly Hills, 90210,” which propelled its cast into the spotlight, and led the gossip press to follow their every move. After that initial blast of celebrity, Doherty continued to work prolifically in “Mallrats” (1995), “Charmed,” a tonnage of TV movies and more. She even starred in a 2012 reality show, “Shannen Says,” which followed her planning her wedding to photographer Kurt Iswarienko.

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and went through treatment — which she documented on her Instagram — until her remission in April 2017. But in winter 2019, Doherty learned that it had recurred, and that it had become metastatic Stage 4 cancer — which is treatable,...

“The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” has been renewed for Season 2 at Disney Plus.

Set in present day Minnesota, the series takes place after the events of the original films. The Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom, Alex (Lauren Graham), set out to build their own team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of youth sports today. With the help of Gordon Bombay, (Emilio Estevez) they rediscover the joys of playing just for love of the game.

The series also stars Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Julee Cerda, Luke Islam, Bella Higginbotham, Taegen Burns, Kiefer O’Reilly, and De’Jon Watts. The first season of “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” debuted on Disney Plus back in March. It consisted of 10 episodes. Production on Season 2 is slated to begin in early 2022.
