BLIND GOSSIP

The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Older And Wiser

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This very successful TV show ran for more than five seasons but is no longer in production.

There is talk of a movie featuring the original cast… but some of them are not satisfied with that!

There are at least three key cast members who don’t just want a stand-alone movie. They want to bring back the show to TV for a few more seasons!

Of course the entire cast will be portrayed as older and wiser and having moved on to a new chapter in their lives, but they think that their original fan base would love it as long as the characters live/work in close proximity. They don’t think they would even need every original cast member to make it successful (although that would be nice). They are trying to convince the other talent to join them. Quite frankly, each person’s enthusiasm seems to be directly tied to how much they would be paid!

Definitely not The Partridge Family.

TV Show: Beverly Hills 90210

Beverly Hills 90210 is coming back as a TV series!

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you way back in August 2018 that they were discussing doing a movie as a follow on to the original series. We also told you that some members of the cast weren’t satisfied with a one-off project and really wanted to reboot the entire TV series.

The conversation really started heating up when some of the members of the original cast met for coffee in December 2018 at The Peach Pit a coffee shop.

The result? A reboot!

From Today:

Tori Spelling confirms ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ reboot

It’s a Walsh come true!

Tori Spelling just confirmed a “Beverly Hills, 90210” reboot.

“It’s confirmed,” the actress told “Access” on Friday. “We’re doing a new ‘90210.’”

What can fans expect of the reunited West Beverly Class of ‘93?

“It is the OG crew back together, and we’re playing heightened versions of ourselves,” Spelling said. “The fans will be pleasantly surprised, though, because we will intercut that with scenes from the show. So it’ll be a whole ensemble cast playing a heightened version of themselves. Almost everybody.”

“Beverly Hills, 90210” ran from 1990-2000. That “almost everybody” line makes us wonder who won’t be returning. Luckily, Spelling shed light on who’ll be involved.

She said Luke Perry, who previously said he’d be up for a reboot, is tied up with his role on “Riverdale,” so he “will do as many [episodes] as he can do. But almost the whole original cast.”

Spelling said there’s no official word on Shannen Doherty, although she did add, “If she’s watching, we would love to have you do it.”

As for what the show will look like, Spelling told E!’s “Daily Pop”, “Think ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ episodes, in an hour long show, and we’re all playing heightened versions, so it could be fictional, it could be non-fictional, people will have to guess. And then we will have pop-ins, because we’re behind the scenes trying to do the reboot.”

Fans won’t have to wait long, either. “It’ll be 2019,” Spelling said.

“Beverly Hills, 90210” was a staple of ‘90s TV and ended a decade-long run in 2000. It spawned another spinoff in 2008, which ran for five seasons.

Rumors of an original “90210” reboot have been swirling for weeks after several of the show’s stars were spotted getting coffee together.

As for this new version? Count us in. We’re just going to run out and pick up a slice of fresh peach pie from The Peach Pit first.

Congratulations to Slantrhyme for being first with the correct answer!

  4. Just FYI, Friends is never, never, ever getting back together. They all agreed the show was about 20-30 somethings navigating in to adulthood with their FRIENDS which is the most important people at that age.

    However I do have the answer to this blind!!!!
    The show is SEINFELD!

  6. I’m late but also the only person to guess Glee so far. Since The Partridge Family was also a musical show.

  7. I’d doubt that this is Dawson’s Creek, the series finale kind of wrapped things up in a way that would make a revival pointless.

    Maybe Friends or that 70’s show?

  9. TV Show: Party of Five

    Favorite Character/s: Charlie Salinger

    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back?
    Why not? They are rebooting everything else.

  10. Has anyone guessed glee? It ran for six years. Also, the partridge family makes me think of music, it was wildly successful. The clue talent seems to refer to music, also. Instead of just actors, they are multi talented.

    Optional: never watched it, so don’t have a favorite.

  11. I hope it’s not that 70’s show. With accusations of mental, sexual abuse and violence, I cannot watch unless those two men are not in it. Also, Scientology is very strange to me. I’ve heard that at least one cast member is a Scientologist.

  13. Community

    (six Seasons and a Movie) famous line from the show. I imagine Donald Glover would be hard to get right now but I would love to see Troy and Abad back together.

  14. I’m probably way off, but I was thinking maybe Growing Pains since they’re talking about them being older and wiser, and the picture is of a family. Most of them, with the exception of Ashley Johnson, don’t seem to be doing much now. A lot of these reboots are shows from the ’80s-’90s. They could explain away the ones who are dead or don’t want to be in it.

    Either that or That ’70s Show, maybe.

    Optional: I’m really sick of all the unnecessary reboots so no.

  15. Live and work in close proxy…Downton Abbey. And I agree, you get a couple core people, you could give it another run easy.

  16. Friends… or at least I’m hoping it is! I would still see that, but a limited run would be best to keep the audience wanting.

    Seeing the cast’s interviews over the years, they’ve gone from saying that it would never work to reminiscing about the best job they had that they should’ve kept going longer. I wouldn’t be surprised if something is already in the works.

    • OPPPSSSS….sorry GoldenGirls….I missed the second page and your comment….

      Seinfeld

  19. Queer As Folk only ran for five, so likely not the subject of this BI, but it is almost embarrassing to watch how thirsty certain members of the cast are to get a reboot made–film or otherwise. The reunion they did for Entertainment Weekly really lit a fire under a couple of the more obscure butts and their Twitter is full of “Let Netflix know!” “Let Showtime know!” “Email xyz person and tell them you need more QaF!”

  20. wow it didn’t even occur to me that 70s show but i would definitely watch that! the characters started so young that they’re just now 30s/40s, could be about them being married and having kids and jobs. Kelso & Jackie definitely have to end up together!

  22. I think it’s Facts of Life.

    They’d definitely need Blair, Jo and Tootie – Natalie maybe.

    I’d watch a next gen version of that if they were involved!

  29. Gossip girl?

    Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester are def not on board. Not sure about the third.

    Could be wrong all together, but I hope I’m not. A girl can dream?!

  30. TV Show: Friends- none really had huge movie careers after the show, of course the only notable one woould be jennifer aniston but even then her career has been mucky. Seems like vast majority are hard up for easy payday hence wanting the show.

    Favorite Character/s: never really watched it, tried, never understood the appeal.

    [Optional] Maybe movie wise but i dont know tv show wise with the banwagon going on with all these reboots people might be turned off by it

  31. Teen Wolf.
    Fave Charas: Stiles, Lydia, Stiles, Liam, Isaac, Kira
    I think it is a good idea but at the same time, the show just ended? I don’t know how well the movie would do.

  33. The West Wing
    C J is the best by far.
    Don’t think it will happen, i haven’t seen a reboot that worked (except Will and Grace mainly for Jack and Karen)

  35. TV Show: I feel like this is Downton Abbey

    Favorite Character/s: all of them but i loved Dowager Countess of Grantham

    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back? i would love to see more seasons rather then a movie.

  39. Only off the top of my head (I haven’t read/heard anything):

    Show: Gossip Girl

    Favorite Character: Blair Waldorf, the one and only

    Good idea? I’m kind of interested, although Blair without Serena would be difficult to conceive and I gather Blake Lively is the one holding out for the $$$. Hope it could be worked out.

    (And I know that the Chuck/Blair fans will be upset if Ed Westwick’s legal issues keep him away…but not an issue for me.)

  40. Friends obviously. I don’t think it will be as funny — so much of the humor was based on the characters’ naïveté and st their age that would translate to stupidity and be unbelievable. I like Chandler, Monica, everyone except phoebe. Phoebes voice is nails on a chalkboard

  51. tv show : friends
    Favorite Character/s: rachel green ( jennifer aniston )
    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back? i don’t know

  57. Don’t know, don’t care. I’m sick of the laziness that has plagued Hollywood for the last decade honestly. Most of the content coming out are either sequels, adaptations, or reboots/remakes of old shows or movies.

  61. Sex and the City came to mind first from recent movie 3 buzz but politician wannabe Nixon and Cattrall would most likely be out.

    Carrie, Big and Charlotte want the series back? Possible, but SJP already has a successful show on HBO.

  67. Melrose Place comes to mind.
    As does Beverly Hills 90210 (old Tori is in serious need of money)

  68. If this is the show friends hell yea bring it back! It was my fav comedy. I loved all the characters but related most to Rachel.

  69. People seem to have lost the ability to create something new, they’re always resorting back to stuff that has been done before. Are people just worn out, so tired that they can’t use their imagination anymore, or has social media fried their brains to the point that they have lost the ability to invent new and exciting things?

    • I don’t think this is entirely true. While the revival phase is a bit heavy there are SO MANY more tv and media outlets than their once were. Room for both original and established material. If this were all network re-booting shows I’d agree but I get the idea that a trusted popular commodity just equals OLD viewers plus a slew of new ones.

  70. Dawson’s Creek?
    Favourite characters: Joey, Pacey, Dawson.

    Good ideas? Why not. Everything else is being given cpr and electric paddles to revive.

  74. Saved by the bell favorite characters being zack, slater, kelly

    They better hurry and bring it back before all of mario lopez’s hair falls out! He can’t wear those hair pieces for much longer and get away with it!!!

    • That might not fit, depending on how they count it. SBTB “proper” only had 4 seasons. To get to more than 5, you’d have to count Good Morning, Miss Bliss and The College Years (which ran for one season each).

  75. TV Show: Downton Abbey

    Favorite Character/s: Carson, Mary, Thomas, the Dowager Countess

    I’d heard a movie was in the works already but with the ending we were given it might be difficult to get them all back together. I hope they won’t be coming together to kill off the Dowager Countess!

  76. That 70’s Show. Whatever the show, I don’t blame them for wanting to cash in on the nostalgia factor. That seems all the rage theses days. Easier than coming up with anything new.

    • Well, the money comment makes the most sense with this guess. All the Friends actors are probably set for life and have the luxury of choosing whatever projects they like. The gang from That ‘70s Show all work pretty steadily, and many have been on The Ranch together. Plus, the picture of the Partridge Family would be a clue because it’s a 70s sitcom about a family AND a competitor of the Brady Bunch.

  79. Friends!!

    Favorite character is Joey!

    Good idea? Maybe for a limited run!

    I’m praying this is true!!

    • This fits to the photo accompanying the story, and 5 of the original cast have already worked together on Kutcher’s Netflix series “The Ranch” since 2016. But… “as long as they live/work in close proximity” sounds more like Friends… Hmm…
