Shannen Doherty Officially Joins 'BH90210'
"Yes it’s official," Shannen Doherty says about joining the "Beverly Hills 90210" revival series, which is now being called "BH90210."
As she joked on Instagram, "The real question is.... will we still be rocking those [dated '90s] outfits?"
She joins original cast members Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling. She, along with the rest of the cast, will executive produce the series. It's set to air this summer on Fox.
The revival is being described as a serialized drama in which the cast will play heightened versions of themselves. The gang is reunited when (fancy that!) one of them suggests it's time for a "Beverly Hills, 90210" reboot.
Luke Perry, who passed away on March 4, had not yet committed to the reboot due to his commitment to "Riverdale." The Fox series is expected to pay tribute to its late actor.
Doherty played Brenda Walsh in the original Fox series which ran from 1990 to 2000. She reprised the role in guest appearances on CW’s "90210" reboot, which aired from 2008-2013.
Doherty also appeared on the short-lived "Heathers" TV series, a reboot of the 1989 cult classic in which she played one of the mean girls named Heather.
