    “BH90210” has officially premiered, and it already looks like six episodes of the “Beverly Hills, 90210” reboot just might not be enough.

    At Fox’s TCA presentation on Wednesday, stars Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Brian Austin Green, Gabrielle Carteris, Shannen Doherty, and Ian Ziering were on hand to discuss the new event series, Deadline reports. When the topic of future seasons came up, they made it clear that they’re not maxed out yet. As Spelling put it, it has been an “amazing experience” to reunite and work on this new project.

    “We would love to continue to work together,” she said, per Deadline.

    The actress didn’t get into specifics as to where the show would go, but she did note that they’ve got ideas.

    “We have so many stories to tell that this could keep going season after season so we hope it does,” she said.

    As of now, there aren’t official plans for more episodes beyond the six Fox ordered, but it seems there are fans who are just as excited about the idea as Spelling is.

    “BH90210” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.

    It’s now been 30 years since “Troop Beverly Hills” arrived in theaters. Sure, the movie didn’t meet with much critical or commercial success at the time, but it’s since become a cult classic that also launched the careers of several actresses. So let’s celebrate that milestone with a few fun facts about this Girl Scout comedy.

    1. “Troop Beverly Hills” marks the acting debut of several future Hollywood stars, including Carla Gugino, Kellie Martin and Tori Spelling.

    2. Gugino lied about her age in order to land the role of Chica Barnfell, pretending to be 14 instead of 16.

    3. Phyllis describes her courtroom outfit as being a Van Runkle design. This is a nod to the film’s costume designer,  Theadora Van Runkle.

    4. The intro sequence was animated by future “The Ren & Stimpy Show” creator John Kricfalusi.

    Nickelodeon

    5. The film is actually inspired by the life of producer Ava Ostern Fries, who once served as a Girl Scout troop leader and even brought her troop to stay in the Beverly Hills Hotel.

    6. Fries turned down the chance to make the movie at Disney because she disagreed with the studio’s choice of star, Bette Midler.

    7. While she plays Shelley Long‘s rival in the film, Betty Thomas would later transition to directing and even directed Long in 1995’s “The Brady Bunch Movie.”

    8. Singers Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello have cameos in the movie as joggers outside the Beverly Hills Hotel. Funicello can actually be heard singing her own 1959 single “Tall Paul.”

    Columbia

    9. The Girls Scouts refused to endorse the film, with the organization objecting to the way some of the characters were depicted.

    10. Jenny Lewis, who plays the character Hannah, later teamed up with “Boy Meets World’s” Blake Sennett to form the band Rilo Kiley.

  • ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ Revival With 6 Original Stars Coming to Fox This Summer

    ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ Revival With 6 Original Stars Coming to Fox This Summer

    Fox

    Fox is moving back to “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

    The network has ordered a six-episode limited series that brings back original stars Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling.

    They’ll play heightened versions of themselves shopping a reboot of their seminal teen drama. The actors announced the news on social media and shared an announcement video (below).

    It’s unclear if any other cast members, such as Shannen Doherty or Luke Perry, will make appearances.

    The project first began percolating over a year ago, led by Spelling and Garth. The actresses then teamed up with Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler, writers from The CW’s “90210” reboot.

    “Beverly Hills, 90210” was created by Darren Star and executive produced by Aaron Spelling. The drama premiered in 1990 and aired for 10 seasons, following group of friends through high school, college, and adulthood.

    It became a pop culture phenomenon and launched the spinoff “Melrose Place” (and later, that aforementioned “90210” reboot). Since the show left the air in 2000, the original actors have gone on to varying levels of success in their careers.

    Here’s the official logline of the revival:

    “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. What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast — whom the whole world watched grow up together — attempts to continue from where they left off?”

  • ‘90210’ Stars Share Funny, Angry, Juicy Reactions to ‘Unauthorized’ Story

    The best part of Lifetime’s “Unauthorized” TV show takedowns is the reaction of the real cast members. Over the weekend, the network took on “Beverly Hills 90210” and the actors weren’t too impressed. However, they had different ways of “honoring” the big event. Tori Spelling used the attention to promote “Celebrity Lie Detector,” and said she had a fling with Jason Priestley, who responded online. Shannen Doherty, not surprisingly, had a terse reaction to how she was portrayed. Jason dissed the Lifetime show and Tori’s “Lie Detector,” but supported Shannen.

    Ian Ziering had the most fun, tweeting about inaccuracies during the special, sharing old photos, and ending with the perfect assessment of the whole thing:

    ..#unauthorized90210 Your mother and I are very disappointed. No Mondale for a week

    A photo posted by Ian Ziering (@ianziering) on


    In case you don’t know, that’s Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, and Mondale was Brandon’s beloved first car. Here are more great tweets from Ian, who kept a good sense of humor about the whole thing (which is fitting, since he’s also in the cheese-fest of “Sharknado”):


    Shannen, who wasn’t given the kindest of treatments, used some salty words to share her displeasure:


    Jason admitted to getting a bit nostalgic and started answering some fan Qs about the show, and other things. He also retweeted and responded to people who bashed the Unauthorized story, so it’s not like he was a fan. And he also weighed in on Tori Spelling’s whole lie detector thing, which was happening around the same time. They slept together? #goodgossip:

    These Lifetime stories may be kind of ridiculous, but they prompt the real stars to share real feelings about what actually happened …. so it’s all worth it?

  • Shannen Doherty Goes Full Diva in ‘Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210’ Clip

    Never mind Hurricane Joaquin. The real hot mess headed our way this weekend is Lifetime’ s “Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story,” which premieres Saturday night. Expect Twitter to be brutal. But we already love it, especially after watching the exclusive clip TVLine shared.

    Watch it here.

    We see “Shannen Doherty” (Samantha Munro) living up to her diva reputation, demanding that she wear a certain red dress for a photo shoot. (How “Heathers” of her.) Meanwhile, Jennie Garth (Abbie Cobb) argues that it’s her turn to wear red.

    The clip starts with Shannen saying it’s not up for debate. She’s wearing the dress. Tori Spelling (Abby Ross) asks why Shannen gets to be the one to wear it. “Because I’m No. 1 on the call sheet,” Shannen replies. “What’s so hard to understand here? If either one of you is No. 1 on the call sheet, you get to wear the red dress.” Jennie keeps pushing for it, saying she doesn’t want to wear black again. “You wore red last year, Shannen.” Shannen shoots back, “Exactly. And we were a hit!” Tori tries to drop the mic by saying she’s showing up to the shoot in a red dress anyway. Shannen vows that NO ONE is showing up in the same color as her.

    No idea how much of this is really true to life and how much is pure fiction. Either way, it’s gold. And now we want to find a red dress to wear as we watch the drama play out.
