There will be no more BH90210 on Fox as the network has opted not to order another installment.


BH90210 , featuring most of the original cast of Beverly Hills, 90210, had been billed as a six-episode comedy event series. Yet, in success, the expectation was that it would go to multiple seasons.


“We are so proud to have reunited in a very special summer event one of the network’s legacy series and casts with 90210 fans across the country,” Fox said in a statement. “Profound thanks to and respect for Brian, Gabrielle, Ian, Jason, Jennie, Shannen and Tori, who, along with the entire crew and everyone at Fox and CBS Television Studios, poured their heatrt and souls into this truly inventive and nostalgic revival.”

 

There was a lot of anticipation for BH90210, whose trailer amassed huge viewership in May. The premiere on Fox also drew strong ratings, but the numbers quickly fizzled out once the novelty wore off. There also was behind-the-scene drama, including multiple showrunner changes.

 

BH90210 in its current incarnation is not expected to be shopped, but Beverly Hills, 90210 is an important library title for CBS TV Studios, so it likely will continue to be revisited.


BH90210 was described as a serialized drama – with a dose of irreverence — inspired by the real lives and relationships of Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling.

 

Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, the septet — who played heightened versions of themselves — reunited when one of them suggested it was time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running.


In the now-series finale, the septet’s show within a show was picked up to series, but execs had some drastic changes in mind.

Good. Bringing it back this year was a joke. Viewers wanted to see them

return to their characters, not the actors in and out of character, just dumb.

 

I watched 2 episodes and that was enough. All the hype and then it just

amounts to nothing for the viewers that stuck with the 6 episodes.

 

A big disappointment.

I watched the original show back in the day and liked it.

 

I think I saw maybe 15 minutes of one episode of the revival and it was terrible.

I liked the revived show.  Wasn't sure how I felt after the first episode, but I kept watching and started to really enjoy it.  Not surprised it's cancelled.  Shows I like usually are!  LOL

I hated it at first but it grew on me and I am disappointed it is not coming back.

I never made the effort to watch it.  I wanted to watch it and missed the first episode.  However, after reading about it here I then had no interest in it.

I watched it all. Had it come back, I would have watched it again.

 

No way did I want to see the actors back in their original characters.  They were too old for that nonsense now.

This surprises me.  I watched all the episodes.  It wasn't what I expected going in, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. My favorite was karaoke when they (we Smiley Happy ) all sang "How Do You Talk to an Angel."  

 

It must be coming as a surprise to the cast as well.  Yesterday Jennie Garth tweeted about season 2 material.  @ BH90210 on Twitter hasn't mentioned it.  

 

I'd watch if they decided to renew.  I wouldn't mind if they revamped to be strictly in character or if they continued with the same path they were on.  I also wanted to see Jennie and Tori's show, but they never came near my area.  I noticed they had to cancel some shows due to tickets not selling.

I read that they may be shopping for another network.
