The cast of the “Beverly Hills 90210” revival took the stage at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday.
Shannon Doherty said that she had no intention of being a part of the new show until fellow cast mate Luke Perry passed away.
“[Nothing] against the show,” she said. “I knew that the show would, you know, get sold and do well with or without me. But they didn’t need me, so it just wasn’t at that moment what I wanted to be doing. And when Luke passed away, things drastically changed for me and I felt like it was great opportunity to honor him.”
Doherty went on to refer to the show as “a chance to heal” in the wake of Perry’s death.
The new show, dubbed “BH90210,” features a meta narrative with the cast playing heightened versions of themselves putting together a revival of the iconic ’90s series.

Los Angeles – His image, as a brooding heartthrob on the Fox-tv series “Beverly Hills, 90210,” was reflective of the early 1990s. Luke Perry represented both the image and the show, and he died on March 4th, 2019, after suffering a massive stroke on February 27th. He was only 52 years old.
Coy Luther “Luke” Perry III was born in Mansfield, Ohio, and set out for Los Angeles after graduating high school. He found work in soap operas in 1987 and ’88, with “Loving” and “Another World.” But he broke out big in 1990 as Dylan McKay on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” for his role as an outsider character in a high school gang that included Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley), Brenda Walsh (Shannon Doherty), Kelly Taylor (Jenny Garth) and Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering). He left after Season Six, but came back to finish with the series for Seasons Nine and Ten.

Happy Friday, "Riverdale" fans. We've got a brief update on the Riverdale Fred Andrews star Luke Perry's condition after he sadly suffered a massive stroke this past Wednesday morning, February 27, 2019. As we previously reported, he was hospitalized that same morning. TMZ broke the story the next day after confirming with Luke's rep that this tragic event did indeed happen. Now, the folks over at TV Line added some brief new details to this story. They said Luke's condition is still unclear, but his rep has shot down rumors that he was placed in a medically-induced coma. So, from what we can gather from that, is he is conscious and is still undergoing observation. In the meantime, Luke's current Riverdale castmates and past Beverly Hills 90210 castmates have hit up social media to give him their well wishes and kind words. Riverdale's Betty Cooper star Lili Reinhart hit up...

The “Heathers” TV series is finally going to make it to air.
The Paramount Network is planning to release the first season of the show ahead of Halloween, but with edits. Beginning Oct. 25, the cable network will air two episodes a night until Oct. 29. The 10-episode series has been condensed down to nine, with certain scenes edited out . The finale will be followed by the premiere of a new Heather’s themed-episode of “Lip Sync Battle” with series stars Melanie Field and Brendan Scannell.
The entire series will also be made available for streaming on the network’s app and website beginning Oct. 22.
“I am beyond excited that American audiences will finally get to see ‘Heathers,'” said series showrunner Jason Micallef. “Obviously I wish fans could see the tenth episode but the producers and I felt strongly about not changing anything in it, and so, it’s been considered too controversial for U.

The television reboot of Heathers won't air on Paramount Network after a pair of real-life school shootings postponed the series' premiere.
Production on the series' 10-episode first season had already wrapped, and the writers' room was already working on Season 2, the Hollywood Reporter writes.
The reboot of the 1988 cult teen black comedy – which starred Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannon Doherty – was originally scheduled to debut on March 7th, but the premiere was delayed due to the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida. A second attempt to reschedule the first...

The planned series version of “Heathers” will not air on Paramount Network as planned, Variety has confirmed.
The move to scrap the series entirely comes after it was pushed from its original March 7 launch date in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February. It was then set to debut on July 10, but the debate around gun control and school shootings has not abated since, stoked again when another gunman killing 10 people at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas, earlier this month.
The show was originally ordered at fellow Viacom network TV Land before moving over to Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) last year. The show, based on the 1988 movie of the same name, is described a pitch-black comedy anthology set in the present day, featuring a group of all-new Heathers, who have the same character names from the original film, but this time, the outcasts...

Paramount Network is gearing up for the upcoming release of hour-long anthology reboot series, Heathers, with a new catty and drama-filled trailer that would make the original Heathers proud.
Related: Heathers promo trailer
Whilst having the same dark tone as the original cult classic, the new version will move away from the three super-rich catty teenagers by introducing an overweight girl (Melanie Field), a black lesbian (Jasmine Mathews) and a gender-queer male (Brendan Scannell) hoping to speak to today’s generation of young adults and filling those much-needed diversity roles.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of the new teenage brats, ruling the school in a cruel and vicious manner and we even get a glimpse of an original Heather in the form of Shannon Doherty.
The show stars Grace Victoria Cox as Veronica Sawyer, James Scully as Jd, Melanie Field as Heather Chandler, Brendan Scannell as Heather Duke,...

These aren’t the Heathers you remember. In the 1988 cult classic, the original Heathers, played with icy conviction by Kim Walker, Shannon Doherty, and Lisanne Falk, were willowy, beautiful mean girls who terrorized their fellow high school students — until Winona Ryder and Christian Slater’s rebellious outsiders took fatal action against them. Heathers was a heightened, sadistic satire of the […]

This week marks the 25th anniversary of Beverly Hills, 90210, which debuted on October 4th, 1990 on the then-fledgling Fox network. A primetime soap opera aimed specifically at teens, it ostensibly chronicled twins Brandon (Jason Priestly) and Brenda (Shannon Doherty) Walsh and their family as they adjusted to life in posh Beverly Hills after relocating from suburban Minneapolis. But even from the beginning (and well after Brenda and Brandon both became well-entrenched amongst their peers), it was also as focused on addressing topical issues as it was the tumultuous and ever-changing relationships of its main characters (to varying degrees of success and subtlety). Over the course of the show’s 10 year run (it went off the air in May 2000), characters got together and broke up and made up and got back together again, and the show tackled everything from divorce to alcoholism, AIDS, adoption, eating disorders, rape, domestic abuse, infidelity, drug usage on multiple levels,...
