[NEWS] New 'BH90210' to be a mockumentary

Details surface about new Beverly Hills 90210 revival, with a meta-twist
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With series revivals all the rage these days, rumors about the
long-running teen drama Beverly Hills 90210 returning to the small
screen were being floated around just last month. It turns out, the show
is talking about staging a comeback, just not in the way most people
might expect.

According to TVLine (via /Film), there is talk of bringing back Beverly
Hills 90210, but as a one-hour, meta-mockumentary that would feature the
show's original cast as they try to get yet another 90210 revival series
off the ground. (The show's had one previously revival, titled simply
90210, which ran for five seasons on The CW from 2008-2013).

Original cast-members Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling, Ian
Ziering, Brian Austin Green and Gabrielle Carteris would all play
caricatures of their real-life selves as they try to cash in on TV's
hottest new trend and get a new iteration of their show back on the air.
However, neither Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry are expected to be
involved.

Mike Chessler and Chris Alberghini, who worked on The CW series, are on
board to write and executive produce. They have some history with the
mockumentary format, as well, as the two created So NoTORIous, the Tori
Spelling vehicle that aired for one season on VH1 back in 2006.

It's also being reported that several networks and streaming platforms
are interested in picking up the project. It's currently being
shepherded around by CBS Studios, so it's possible that it might end up
seeing the light of day after all.
