quasi-revival as “ballsy” but explained why the network decided against bringing back the series for a second run.
The show, which featured the majority of the original cast, minus Luke Perry, was originally billed as a six-episode run and Thorn, who is president of entertainment at Fox told Deadline that the network wanted to “let it be”. “I thought it was really brave for the actors. It was really ballsy,” he said. “To pull something off like that is such a high degree of difficulty and I think they did a terrific job but even six [episodes] was really challenging.
Thorn lauded Garth and Spelling for their work. “Tori and Jenny put this idea together and they were obviously great in front of the camera but I was impressed with what they did. To pull that kind of an idea is hard,” he added. BH90210 was produced by CBS TV Studios and Fox Entertainment. Alberghini, Chessler and Paul Sciarrotta were co-showrunners and executive produce alongside Carteris, Doherty, Garth, Green, Priestley, Spelling and Ziering.
