And, in case the “life imitates art” theme were not already apparent, Spelling utters the phrase aloud while spilling to BFF Garth that she lost her virginity to Brian Austin Green both onscreen and off.Īt one point in the second episode, Jason Priestley complains that Spelling won’t quit bugging him about rebooting Beverly Hills, 90210.
The cast also has a stalker (who definitely does not seem old enough to have actually watched the show) who sends them creepy packages of maimed 90210 collectible dolls. There is an abundance of adultery, complete with a clichéd hotel room sex scene.

Seemingly taking cues from the sharp, genre-bending CW series Jane the Virgin, BH90210 soon descends into soapy drama, paralleling the conventions of the show they are recreating. The tumultuous feuds and flings will undoubtedly refuel old rumors about drama among cast members, especially with BH90210’s blurred line between fact and fiction. In spite of the heavy-handed script and superfluous framing device, some fans of the original series will likely still delight in the West Beverly Hills High class of ’93 reunion. “The absence of Luke Perry, who played brooding heartthrob Dylan McKay and tragically died in March, is felt profoundly within the first 15 minutes of the premiere.” Garth and Spelling developed the show and are credited as executive producers, along with Doherty, Chris Alberghini, and Mike Chessler. In other words, it is a reboot within a reboot, a structure that seems to serve no purpose beyond allowing the actors to work through their own complicated emotions about life after their 10 years on the show. Inspired by the viral success of their reunion, fictional Tori Spelling decides to solve her financial woes (based on her real-life struggles) by recruiting the rest of the cast for a television revival. The original gang-Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty, Gabrielle Carteris, Jason Priestley, Brian Austin Green, and Ian Ziering, all playing themselves-gathers in Las Vegas for a panel celebrating the 30th anniversary of the teen soap that made them household names. The plot of BH90210 is needlessly complicated. To all of the die-hard Brandon Walsh fans fantasizing about afternoons at the Peach Pit, I’m sorry to report that BH90210 is no exception to this trend of reboot flops.
In fact, most highly anticipated remakes from the past year have fallen flat, leaving fans bored and tired of being fed the same content repackaged 20 years later. Just last week, Mindy Kaling’s remake of iconic rom-com Four Weddings and a Funeral premiered on Hulu to lukewarm reviews. It joins the likes of Charmed, The Twilight Zone, The Hills, and All That. With the Wednesday premiere of BH90210 on Fox, Beverly Hills, 90210 is the latest in a long line of iconic television shows and movies to receive the revival treatment.
