The CW is in talks about making a spinoff from the widely popular 90’s tv show Beverly Hills 90210.
“Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas is wanted to pen the project, which has been put on the fast track by the network. The spinoff would bring Thomas back to CW, where his acclaimed series “Veronica Mars” ended its three-year run last spring.
This would be the second spinoff from “90210,” which aired on Fox from 1990-2000. The first spinoff, “Melrose Place,” had a successful seven-year run on Fox.
Tori Spelling, the daughter of the show’s creater and who also played Donna Martin in the series, said, “My dad always wanted to do a new version of 90210, so I’m sure he will be beaming from above! …and I’d love to somehow be a part of it. That, as well, would make my dad proud,” Spelling, who is pregnant with her second child.
And, regarding the role she intends to play, Tori explains: “Well, I am a mom now, proud to say, but obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character’s young stepmom. Playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America’s most infamous virgin.”
“The show was a huge part of my life. Ten years! I miss it dearly.”
“I thought … it’s about time,” Spelling tells People.com. “I’m surprised it took this long for them to make a 90210 spinoff.”
Tori is not the only one eager to get involved with this show. Actor Ian Ziering, who played Steve Sanders in 90210, also wants to a role on the series.
