Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - One of television's most famous zip codes is about to return, and with it some fond "Beverly Hills, 90210" memories. For a refresher, the show ran for 10 years -- from 1990 to 2000 -- and focused on the lives of a group of teens living in the upscale community of Beverly Hills, California.
The show began when twins Brandon, played by Jason Priestley, and Brenda Walsh, played by Shannen Doherty, moved to Beverly Hills and the fictitious West Beverly Hills High School.
Everything that followed in the next 10 years was pretty much mayhem for the Walsh kids, as the show's topics included date rape, domestic violence, alcoholism, gay rights, drug abuse, teen suicide, AIDS and teenage pregnancy.
Celebrity News Service has learned that some things in the new show will be familiar -- a "Beverly Hills" blast from the past. Here are five things that the new "90210" will have in common with the original show:
- The theme song. It's back, with a modern-day twist, but back just the same.
- The Peach Pit. Remember how the gang used to hang out at the Peach Pit and try to figure out all of life's ups and downs. The Peach Pit will be back, but it has a new updated look.
- Peach Pit owner Nat. Played by Joe E. Tata, Nat will return to hopefully live through more teenage drama.
- Same high school. The show is again being shot at Torrance High School, the same school used in the original series.
- Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty. The two actresses will return to the series that made them famous and with any luck we will see a few cat fights, both on and off screen.
The new "Beverly Hills, 90210" will air on The CW beginning September 2.
