Shannen Doherty Joins the Cast of Fox's 'Beverly Hills, 90210' Event Series
OK, now it’s a party. Shannen Doherty (aka Brenda Walsh) has signed on to appear in Fox’s upcoming Beverly Hills, 90210-inspired limited series.
The six-part limited series, airing sometime this summer, finds the original stars of the primetime soap — Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling — playing exaggerated versions of their real-life selves, with storylines “inspired by their real lives and relationships with each other.” Here’s what we can expect, according to Fox:

Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Shannen, 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?
