‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ celebs Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling will executive produce and co-star on the ABC Family network in their new sitcom ‘Mystery Girls,’ slated to begin production in early 2014.
ABC Family president Tom Ascheim announced the pilot has been ordered as a series, “It’s great to start the new year and my tenure at ABC Family with the pickup of this funny original series. ABC Family’s comedy lineup continues to resonate with our audience and I’m thrilled to boost that momentum by adding ‘Mystery Girls,’ which is sure to become a fan favorite.”
Spelling and Garth will portray two former detective TV show starlets brought back together by a real-life mystery. Charlie Contour (Garth) is a suburban housewife and mother, while Holly Hamilton (Spelling) longs for her glory days in the 90’s when she was on television.
Both of their lives are disrupted when a witness to a crime, who happens to be a ‘Mystery Girls’ fanatic, will only speak to the infamous duo, and the former friends must reunite and put their TV crime-solving skills to the test.
Ascheim acknowledged, “Viewers are excited to see Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth back on television together again.”
Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott are parents to four young children. Garth divorced Peter Facinelli in June 2013. They have three daughters.
