90210 is a teen drama developed by Rob Thomas, Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, and the fourth series in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise created by Darren Star. 90210 is the first series produced by CBS Productions under the company's re-launch, but now produced by CBS Television Studios. The series premiered on The CW on September 2, 2008 with a two-hour series premiere event.

The series revolves around the Wilson family, along with other rich teenage students at the fictional West Beverly Hills High, where Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds) begin attendance. Their father, Harry Wilson (Rob Estes), returns from Kansas to his childhood home of Beverly Hills with his family to care for his mother, former television star Tabitha Wilson (Jessica Walter), who has a drinking problem. Annie and Dixon struggle to adjust to their new lives while making new friends and adhering to their parents' wishes. 90210 features cast members from the original series; featured guests include Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling, Ann Gillespie, and Joe E. Tata.

On February 16, 2010, the CW renewed the show for a third season.

Production

Conception

On March 13, 2008, it was announced that The CW was developing a contemporary spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210. The project was put on the fast track by the network, and an order of the pilot was expected by the end of the month. The Beverly Hills, 90210 creator, Darren Star, was announced not to be involved with the project. The only surviving element from the original series was believed to be Creative Artists Agency, the talent agency which masterminded the spin-off idea. Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas was in negotiations to write the pilot and Mark Piznarski was in talks to direct.

Development

A detailed breakdown of the pilot written by Thomas was released on March 17, containing information on the plot and characters which would be in the series. None of the characters were related to the original series; however, the series' featured a similar premise: a family with two teenagers who recently moved from the Midwest to Beverly Hills. To reflect the situation at the Beverly Hills school, where around 40 percent of the students were of Persian descent, a student named Navid Shirazi was created. Thomas intended to introduce The Peach Pit, the diner from Beverly Hills, 90210, but noted that it would not be featured in the pilot. The writer considered giving the siblings a job at a movie theater, as he did not want them to use their parents' credit cards. Thomas revealed that there were plans to reintroduce one of the original cast members, but had not met with any of them to discuss a role. Thomas later elaborated the producers wanted to see "as many of the original cast members as possible", but were careful not to "parade them all out in the pilot".

On April 14, Thomas announced that he was leaving the series to focus on his two pilots for ABC. Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah were hired as the new executive producers and wrote a new version of the script in late April. Sachs said that although Thomas had a "great script", their version of the script was edgier. Judah said that they were trying to ground their script in reality, with real character stories and emotional stories. The writers wanted the audience to relate to the characters' problems, which they wanted to be truthful and emotional, but also comedic. The pair were interested in telling several stories simultaneously, featuring many characters. The pair changed the surname of the main family from Mills to Wilson, along with changing the name of the mother from Celia to Debbie. The pair also told reporters that they would be adding their "comedic impulses" to the script. Sachs and Judah found the parents to be an important part of the series, and designed to be contemporary parents. Since the producers were both fathers, they designed the script to include more prominent adult story lines and a strong point of view on parenting. Judah was interested in focusing on how the family kept their moral center when moving to Beverly Hills, and the way the parents dealt with their teenagers. On May 11, one day before The CW's upfront presentations, the network officially picked up the series for the 2008–2009 television season.

After disagreeing with the network executives over the series' storylines, Sachs and Judah resigned as writers. The CW wanted the series to have a female perspective and focus more on money and glamour; however, Judah and Sachs were more comfortable writing for men. Instead, Judah began working on postproduction, including editing and music supervision, while Sachs ran the production on set. The CW hired Rebecca Rand Sinclair to retool the series as head writer. In late February 2009, Sinclair signed a seven-figure deal with the producers to serve as executive producer/showrunner for the series' second and third seasons.

Casting

On March 13, 2008, Kristin Dos Santos of E! confirmed that the series would be a spin-off with new characters and not a remake. In order for the project to be ready for the network's "upfront" presentations to advertisers in May, casting began before the script was completed. The first actor to be cast was Dustin Milligan, followed by AnnaLynne McCord. Hilary Duff was rumored to have been offered the part of Annie Wilson, but she told reporters that it was "not true". The role was eventually given to Shenae Grimes, who says she was raised watching the original series. Rob Estes was the last actor to join the series; he was sought by The CW to play the part of Harry Wilson. Estes was a previous cast member of the first Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off, Melrose Place.

Following rumors of cast members from Beverly Hills, 90210 appearing on the spin-off, The CW confirmed that Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth would be returning in recurring roles, along with Joe E. Tata, for a few episodes, as their original characters. Sachs was familiar with Garth, and talked to her about a possible role in the series. Garth agreed to star on the series without reading a script after brainstorming ideas with Sachs. The producers offered Garth a role as a series regular, but she opted to sign on as a recurring character. Sachs met with Doherty over dinner, and told her about the 90210 spin-off. Over the next few weeks, they established Brenda's backstory and Doherty agreed to guest-star in several episodes.

Sachs described Tata's casting as an accident; a friend told Sachs that he had seen Tata in a store, which led to the offer of a role in the series. Sachs said that Tata was ecstatic about the idea and agreed. After reading the script, Tori Spelling expressed interest returning, and the writers decided to give Donna her own fashion line. Spelling was scheduled to appear in the premiere, but due to personal reasons and the birth of her daughter, she opted to appear later in the season. On August 11, it was reported that Spelling had pulled out of the series after discovering that she was receiving less pay than Garth and Doherty. Spelling asked for her salary of $20,000 per episode to be increased to match their salaries—$40,000 to $50,000 per episode—but when denied she left the show altogether.

Numerous guests were then cast, including Kellan Lutz and Meghan Markle on July 7. Jessica Lowndes portrays Adrianna Tate-Duncan, a theatre "goddess" who suffers a drug addiction, and was later upgraded to a starring role in Jessica Walters' spot. Other guest stars include Maeve Quinlan as Adrianna's mother Constance, Josh Henderson as Sean, a young man who claimed to be Harry's biological son with Tracy Clark, but was really a scam artist, Lauren London as cheerleader Christina, and Aimee Teegarden as Rhonda, a West Beverley student.

Sinclair announced in March 2009 that the series' second season would rely less on 90210 alums like Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty to boost ratings. She felt that "the show tried to be a lot of things to a lot of people in its first season [...] I think the center lies with the generation of kids that are in high school now." It was also announced that Dustin Milligan would not be coming back for season two, while Matt Lanter would be joining the cast as a series regular. Casting soon began for new characters to be introduced in the second season. In June 2009, the series was reportedly looking for an actor to play the recurring role of Teddy, a tennis champ returning to West Beverly. Actor and model Trevor Donovan was later cast in the role. Rumer Willis and John Schneider were cast in a recurring roles, as West Beverly's first Lesbian student and Liam's plastic surgeon stepfather, respectively.

Ann Gillespie returned in the second season for multiple episodes as Jackie, Silver and Kelly's mother. Her character was once again sober and hoped reconnect with her daughters after being diagnosed with cancer. Travis Van Winkle was cast as, Jamie, as "football/frat" student at California University for "several episodes". Gillian Zinser was cast as Ivy Sullivan, a "tomboy surfer chick" who catches the eye of both Dixon and Liam. Kelly Lynch was later cast as her mother Laurel Sullivan, a former hippie who believes in "free love, the environment, the power of music, legalized marijuana and her daughter Ivy, whom she sees as her greatest triumph". EW's Michael Ausiello announced that former Dawson's Creek actor Hal Ozsan had been cast, in a recurring role, as a faculty adviser for school's paper. TV Guide confirmed that former Gilmore Girls actor Scott Patterson had been cast to play Jack Court, Liam's ex-con father who opens a tackle shop and would appear in multiple episodes.

Ryan O'Neil has been cast to play Spence Montgomery, Teddy's dysfunctional father, in a multiple episode run starting in April 2010.

Season 1

Main article: 90210 (season 1)

Much like the original show, 90210 follows the move of a family (parents Debbie and Harry Wilson, their daughter Annie and adopted son Dixon). This time however, Harry is actually from Beverly Hills and comes back both to look after his mother Tabitha and to work as the principal at West Beverly Hills High School. All of them struggle to adjust to their new lives: Annie has a hard time balancing romances (starting with rich kid Ty) and friendships as well as popularity and identity; Dixon has issues with his adoption and African-American heritage; Harry and Debbie struggle with the revelation that Harry has a son with Tracy Clark, his former high school sweetheart.

Tracy Clark has a daughter of her own, Naomi Clark, who dates jock Ethan Ward, brief rival of Dixon, with whom she soon breaks up and who gets back with Annie with whom he had a fling years prior. Both girls alternate between enemies in a love triangle and almost sisters due to their parents' child. Their respective mothers find in a love triangle of their own after Tracy's marriage to Charles Clark implodes (which Naomi takes quite badly) and she appears to want Harry back. Naomi's fight with Annie forces her out of the crowd after she uses Annie's ex-boyfriend Jason as a weapon to get back at her for hiding her relationship with Ethan. She becomes friends with older girls and starts flirting with Ozzie, a rather alternative student and later becomes attracted to a bartender named Liam whom she soon finds out is actually underage and becomes a student at West Beverly High. Meanwhile Ethan and Annie's relationship hit the rocks as he begins to rethink his life after a car accident and gets more or less attracted to Rhonda, the girl he hit. Soon Naomi and Liam begin a fling, and once she becomes friends with Annie again, he begins to pursue the both of them.

Naomi's best friend, fallen starlet Adrianna Tate-Duncan battles a drug addiction. This gets her into trouble when Harry decides to clean the school, thanks to the help of a cop, Kimberly McIntyre, under cover as a student. Kimberly begins a relationship with teacher/lacrosse coach Ryan Matthews, which gets him into trouble with the school. Guilt-ridden, Kimberly does her best to solve the case, giving Ryan his job back, although he takes a leave of absence to rethink his life, and Adrianna lands in rehab, after almost getting Naomi in legal troubles as she took the blame for the drugs. There she begins a relationship with Navid Shirazi, head of the school's paper and Dixon's best friend, who paid for her rehab. Although at first she only does it to "repay" him, they start to genuinely care about each other. Adrianna later discovers she is pregnant as a result of her promiscuity while she was addicted. After telling Navid of her pregnancy, he breaks up with her. It is later revealed that the father of Adrianna's child is Ty, although it is unclear when they slept together. She and Navid get back together when he realizes that even though she is a mess he can't get over her, and get engaged, although he alienates his family when he tells them that the child is not his and gets upset when Adrianna reveals her daughter is Ty's.

Another featured character is Erin Silver, Kelly Taylor's half sister and Naomi's former best friend, until Silver's father's affair is revealed. She quickly befriends Annie and starts dating Dixon, who is somewhat taken aback by her not-so-90210 lifestyle, as she is a virgin who doesn't care about popularity. In a multi-episode arc that culminated in a very special episode, it is revealed that Silver has bipolar disorder. Kelly Taylor is now a guidance counselor at West Beverly and has a son named Sammy. She briefly dates Ryan before leaving to work on her relationship with former boyfriend and father of Sammy, Dylan McKay. This briefly causes friction with Brenda Walsh as both struggle with their lingering feelings towards Dylan. When Kelly returns, she not only discovers Ryan's relationship with student/cop Kimberly but also that he slept with Brenda, re-creating the rift between the two friends. Following Brenda's discovery that she cannot have children, however, the women are drawn together in an accord once again. Donna Martin, who has become a well-known fashion designer in Japan, is recently separated from David, and she decides to move back to Beverly Hills.

Season 2

Main article: 90210 (season 2)

The premiere of season 2 begins with the end of summer school for Dixon, Silver, and Naomi.

Silver and Dixon get back together, but breakup soon after Silver receives a text from Ethan, who has decided to stay in Montana, that reveals the two shared a kiss on prom night. Silver later reveals that she feels relief upon learning Ethan will stay in Montana, and she still loves Dixon. Adrianna is desperate to become a normal teenager, giving up acting and, much to Navid's dismay, sex. Their relationship is put under further pressure with the arrival of Teddy, Adrianna's old boyfriend (who Adrianna lost her virginity to). Meanwhile, the emotionally distant and guilt-ridden Annie has cut herself off from all of society as much as possible, contributing to a growing disconnect between her and her brother, who is angry at her for effectively sending him to summer school. Annie has kept her hit-and-run under wraps but learns through a private report that the unidentified victim, who had been in a coma, has died. At a end-of-summer beach party, Annie drinks away her worries with a senior, Mark, who later takes nude pictures of her. When the senior shows it off to his friends, Naomi sees it and she sends it to everybody at school as an act of revenge, as she believes Annie slept with Liam. Dixon, sick of Annie's drama, becomes even more distant.

Later on Annie dates the nephew of the guy she ran over named Jasper. What begins as a guilt-ridden friendship turns into a relationship for Annie and Jasper.

Silver accompanies Adrianna to an AA meeting where she sees her mother Jackie, who has tortured her over the years. After Jackie apologizes, Silver insists on her mother leaving her alone. After a phone call from Adrianna, Silver learns that Jackie has breast cancer which shocks both Kelly and Silver. Kelly forbids Silver on seeing their mother to try to cover the pain, but Silver moves in with her mother to take care of her. Adrianna breaks-up with Navid to go into the arms of Teddy, but learns that Teddy does not want a relationship, which makes Adrianna feel sorry for the mistake she has done. Jen continues to manipulate both Naomi and Ryan, by making Naomi give her a large amount of money, and by making Ryan believe Liam is hitting on her. Silver being paired up with Teddy learns that Teddy's mom died, which causes a friendship to blossom. Sasha then gives Dixon "life changing" news by telling him that she's pregnant, at which Debbie and Harry think she is lying. Jasper convinces Annie to steal a car from the beach club to film his movie. Liam meets Ivy, a surfer chick whom he butt heads with. Later on they form a relationship.

Sasha lies to Dixon saying she had a miscarriage, at which Dixon feels guilty of for not being there for her, and then Debbie trying to comfort him agrees with Sasha's lies. Then she reveals the truth about Sasha which causes Dixon to get further away from his family. Jackie and Teddy give Silver the half-birthday of her life, by recreating her previous half-birthday's Jackie couldn't attend because of her alcohol issues. Navid sees Adrianna buying drugs from Jasper which causes him to confront both Adrianna and Jasper. Annie and Jasper confess their love for each other, which results in them taking their relationship "to the next level". Liam finally confides in Dixon, Teddy, and Ivy about the events on prom night as they try to figure out on a way to earn revenge on Jen. Their attempt to earn revenge on Jen works, which makes Jen lose everything she has including her sister and boyfriend Ryan. Teddy begins to pursue Silver more and they share a kiss on the roof top of the school.

Jasper pushes Navid down the steps because he finds out he is telling people that he is a drug dealer. Teddy asks Silver to the dance, but she says no. Navid suddenly remembers it was Jasper who pushed him down the stairs and is determind to let Annie know he is a drug dealer. Navid asks Adrianna to admit to Annie that she bought drugs from Jasper. After Dixon realizes that Jen is the one who slept with Liam and not Annie, he wants to help Annie. Naomi also feels bad for Annie when she learns the truth about prom night. At the dance, Teddy and Silver share a kiss. Silver storms off but later admits to Naomi that she felt something when they kissed. Just as Silver is about to tell Teddy that she wants to give it a shot, she sees him hugging a girl, not knowing it's Teddy's sister. Naomi, Navid, Dixon, and Silver reveal to Annie the truth about Jasper with help from Adrianna. Dixon forgives his mother and they are close again. Dixon reveals he still has feelings for Silver when he lies and says he didn't know who that girl was that Teddy was hugging. He kisses Silver. Ivy texts Naomi and tells her to go over Liam's house. Liam opens up to Naomi and they kiss. Annie confronts Jasper about his lies and he reveals to her he knows she killed his uncle.

After the mid-season break, the show comes back with new episodes. It aired March 9, 2010 with the recurring episode entitled "Rats and Heroes". The students came back from their vacation. Naomi and Silver from their vacation in St. Bart's and Annie from her vacation in Las Vegas. Navid is determined to reveal Jasper's true ways. He comes back to school with cocaine he got from Berkeley. He schemed up a plan to frame Jasper by planting it in his locker, but Navid's plans backfires when Jasper finds it first and somehow plants it Navid's locker. Jasper continues to keep Annie close to him, while everyone questions how she can be with a guy like him.

With Jen gone, Naomi and Liam are free to begin their relationship. They had a private dinner on the beach in a tent. They soon realize they really have nothing in common. Naomi is determined to make this work out and thinks it is not that they don't have anything in common, but that it is just her nerves.

Dixon is into Silver again now that she has recovered. Teddy is into Silver also. Silver likes Teddy, and wants to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is over his playboy stage. Dixon works his magic and convinces both of them that they are not into each other.

Adrianna reaches out to a fellow AA member, Gia (Rumer Willis), for help with staying sober. To make Gia's ex-girlfriend jealous, Adrianna kisses her.

Although it was first announced Jennie Garth would be leaving after the second season, her character hasn't been seen or written out since episode 13 "Rats and Heroes" but co-star Jessica Stroup who plays Silver has said she will be back at some point in the future.

90210 set a series high in early season 1 with the episode "The Jet Set", which pulled 5.14 million viewers.

"We're Not in Kansas Anymore", along with the following episode, averaged 4.9 million viewers throughout the two-hour broadcast on September 2, 2008. This gave The CW its highest-rated premiere ever in the adults 18-49 demographic with a 2.6. By the end of the first season in May 2009, 90210 had a season average of 2.58 million US viewers (first-run airings). The show debuted strongly on E4 on its UK premiere on January 26, 2009, averaging 518,000 viewers.

90210's second season premiered on September 8, 2009, with 2.56 million viewers. This was down some 2.2 million viewers from its series premiere the previous fall, but up 430,000 viewers from its first season finale.

Critical response

Most reviews of the pilot were average, claiming that while it was not bad, it was not great either. Metacritic gave the episode a Metascore—a weighted average based on the impressions of a select 12 critical reviews—of 46, signifying mixed or average reviews. Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe felt that like the original, 90210 was "pretty good". Gilbert said that the episode "seemed to take forever to set up some remarkably bland plotlines", which he found had been executed with more finesse by other teen soaps. The reviewer criticized the writers for "unimaginative material", and commented on the risqué oral sex scene. Gilbert claimed that the characters lacked depth and distinction throughout the pilot, especially Naomi, whom he compared negatively to Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf. By contrast, Tom Gliatto of People magazine gave Naomi Clark a favorable review, but stated that he felt the cast as a whole had yet to gel. When compared to the original series, Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette felt that the spin-off covered the same themes—family, friends, teen melodrama, relationships—but with more humor. Owen praised the compelling characters and the acting, and found the dialogue to be more clever than painful.

As the show continued its first season, the response become considerably more positive, and by the second season critical response was favorable. Entertainment Weekly gave the second season an A-, stating that "all it took was a little sunshine to give this show some heat", and that the "new, trashier take is working" after what they considered a "drippy" first season. LaDale Anderson of Canyon News commented on the change between the first two seasons, saying that "the transformation of the characters and storylines in season two has been fantastic", and "sometimes a show needs a makeover and with the right pieces in place a not so good show can become something sensational." The reviewer opined that "what has worked so well [...] is that the characters are not one-dimensional. With most shows characters seamlessly continue to embody characteristics that solely define them, but not here." Anderson also praised the writing, saying it was "intricate and intertwines itself without forcing the storylines to connect; they mesh naturally."
