It might be time to revisit Melrose Place. A revival of the 90s drama from Darren Star is currently in development with three of the show’s original cast set to return for the revival. The original series is a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210 and aired for seven seasons on FOX.
Starring Josie Bissett, Thomas Calabro, Marcia Cross, Laura Leighton, Heather Locklear, Doug Savant, Grant Show, Andrew Shue, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and Daphne Zuniga, the drama series follows the antics of the residents of an apartment building in West Hollywood.
Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton, and Daphne Zuniga are set for the revival of the series, which would update viewers on what has happened to the residents of Melrose Place since the series ended. It is possible viewers could also see other cast members from the original series. The revival, produced by CBS Studios, is being shopped to various networks and streaming services.
Deadline revealed the following about the plot of the revival:
In the new installment, when one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honor 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.
This would be the second revival of the Melrose Place series. The first was produced for The CW and revolves around a new crop of young residents of the apartments. That version stars Katie Cassidy, Colin Egglesfield, Stephanie Jacobsen, Jessica Lucas, Michael Rady, Shaun Sipos, and Ashlee Simpson. Bissett, Locklear, Leighton, and Zuniga from the original series guest-starred. The show was cancelled after one season of 18 episodes.
