The 1990s has returned!
Indeed, Fox is taking viewers back to the wonderful world of Beverly Hills, 90210 via a revival unlike anything else on television — and it premieres on August 7, 2019.
Most of the original cast will be back for some of the action, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be playing the same characters.
Confused? We understand.
Have a look below at everything you need to know.
Shannen Doherty is Back
Doherty will return to acting on the new series. She will play herself — not Brenda Walsh.
Jennie Garth is Back
Jennie Garth appeared on the OG series as Kelly Taylor. She went on to reprise the role on The CW’s reboot. This time, she is playing herself.
Tori Spelling is Back
Tori Spelling will make her return to the show that made her a household name. This time, however, she will be playing a heightened version of herself. Yes, this is going to be fun!
Gabrielle Carteris is Back
Gabrielle Carteris will play a heightened version of herself on the reboot. She played Andrea Zuckerman on the original series.
Brian Austin Green is Back
Brian Austin Green is back as a heightened version of himself. He will play David Silver during the filming of the reboot within a reboot.
Ian Ziering is Back
Ian Ziering is returning, but he won’t be playing Steve Sanders. Instead, he’s playing a heightened version of himself.
Jason Priestley is Back

What the Eff is it About?
There has been a lot of confusion about what the series is actually about. Here’s the official logline from Fox: Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Jason, Jennie, Ian, Gabrielle, Brian and Tori reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running. But getting it going may make for an even more delicious soap than the reboot itself.
Luke Perry’s Death Will Be Addressed
Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling revealed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that Perry’s death will be addressed on the new series.
LaLa Anthony is a New Cast Member
LaLa Anthony will play Brian Austin Green’s breadwinning wife, Shay, on the reboot.

The Peach Pit Diner is BACK
The Peach Pit diner will be back, but it will be in a new location. Interesting.
How Many Episodes Have Been Ordered?
The first season will be made up of six installments!
Could it Continue?
YES! Tori Spelling seemingly confirmed that the show was already renewed for a second season when she took to Instagram to welcome Denise Richards to the cast and to confirm filming of Season 1 was almost complete. “An experience I’ll never forget and treasure forever. Can’t wait till we film Season 2!” Either that’s wishful thinking or she has some insider knowledge.
