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. 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.)

  5. 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

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

  22. 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.

  26. 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.

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

  33. 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.

  34. 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.

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

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

  39. 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).

  40. 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!

  41. 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.

  44. 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…
