Melrose Place Spin-Off May Be in the Works!

News

Melrose Place, the original Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff, may get its own spinoff. Obviously they heard the news about The Hills and decided they had to do it too!

The CW and CBS Paramount Network TV are eyeing an update of Melrose Place to follow in the footsteps of their current Aaron Spelling spinoff 90210 according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Thus far, no plot outlined or writer on board yet. Darren Star, creator of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place, is not expected to be involved with The CW update, which may hit the airwaves for the 2009-2010 season.

The original Melrose Place debuted in 1992 and ran for seven seasons. It starred Heather Locklear, Marcia Cross, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Andrew Shue, Grant Show, Alyssa Milano, Doug Savant, Jack Wagner, Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bisset, Rob Estes and Kelly Rutherford. Both Estes and Rutherford are already on CW shows, 90210 and Gossip Girl, respectively.

The new 90210 has increased the CW’s viewership among women 18-34 on Tuesday nights. Although a younger, contemporary cast now walks the halls of West Beverly Hills High, that didn’t stop Beverly Hills, 90210 alums Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty from reprising their roles for a few episodes each.
