90210 2.0 will be back on September 2nd with a 2 hour premiere and they just finished shooting it 2 days ago. That is a lot of 2s!
Coming back are Jenni Garth, Tori Spelling, Joe E Tata and Shannen Doherty. Yes Shannen Doherty will be back as Brenda Walsh. As we know she left the show she went to London to be an actress, what we don't know is what happened to her. Well she became a big actress in London and NY and she will be back to guest direct a musical at 90210!!! Tori Spelling will be back when she is up for it, but even though she is not part of the pilot we will find out what happened between her and David in that episode.
Although lots of Beverly Hills, 90210ers are part of the show, this spinoff is not going to be like the original. We are going to a different feel from show runners Jeff Judah and Gabes Sachs who did Freaks and Geeks (we will get that feel) and life as we know it. I think they will be a good fit and I can't wait to see what they bring to this show.
How will the new cast, tie in to the old cast? Well Harry Wilson (Rob Estes) grew up in Beverly Hills and lived next to one of the original cast members before moving to Kansas. Shanae Grimes, who is playing Annie Wilson, says that moving to LA from Toronto (where she filmed Degrassi) is like what she is going through with her character on the show that moves from Kansas to LA when her dad becomes the Principal at West Beverly Hills High School. The Wilson Family has to move back to take care of Harry's mother (Jessica Walter) and she is not your average Grandmother.
I love all the tie-ins from the original in the one, and after listening to the cast and Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs talk about it, I am even more excited for this show. This show is going to be as popular as the original if not more!
BTW I also spoke to Joe E Tata about returning to the Peach Pit and 90210 2.0 and here is what he said!!!
OMG! Those promos for Gossip Girl and 90210 are as hot as it is outside! Seriously it looks like we are going to get a new side of Nate, a naughty one!!! Actually it looks like all of them are going to lighten up, but it could because of all that Hamptons’ daylight!!!
I can’t for September 1st for Gossip Girl to come and the 2nd for 90210 to premiere on The CW!!!

While Watch with Kristin's 90210 2.0 gossip is all about Shannen Doherty in talks to come back and Tori Spelling out, her E! co-worker Marc Malkin is all about the new Peach Pit. The new Peach Pit is actually the Kokomo Cafe, but this is only a temporary residence for the Peach Pit because they are building an exact duplicate of it on a soundstage. Oh and there is one more big development about the popular 90210 hang out…Joe Tata aka Nate is back behind the counter and involved in their lives!
I am so excited and can't wait for 90210 2.0 on The CW this fall!!!
