*This new reboot is still in its early stages. A pilot has not been filmed yet.
*Laura Leighton, Daphne Zuniga and Heather Locklear are currently the only stars 100% signed on.
*Laura and Daphne will also be executive producers on this project.
*Lauren Gussis (Insatiable and Dexter) is on board to write the script and also executive produce the project.
*This reboot will bypass the 2009 reboot, ignoring any storylines or character arcs created (such as Sydney’s murder, her daughter Violet, Amanda being arrested etc.) and continue years after the end of the original Melrose Place series.
*This reboot is currently being shopped around to networks and streaming platforms looking for a home.
*The synopsis for this project is as follows, “When one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honour the deceased, but the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
*There is no word as to the identity of which Melrose Place character is the one to die.
When it comes to who might be dying, I think it will be whoever refuses to reprise their character.
