90210 (TV Series)

90210 is an American teen drama television series 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 is now produced by CBS Television Studios. The series premiered on The CW on September 2, 2008 with a two episode special.

It revolves around several students at the fictional West Beverly Hills High School, including new Beverly Hills residents Annie Wilson and Dixon Wilson. Their father, Harry Wilson, has returned from Kansas to his Beverly Hills childhood home with his family to care for his mother, former television and theater actress Tabitha Wilson, who has a drinking problem and clashes with his wife Debbie. Annie and Dixon struggle to adjust to their new lives while making friends and yet adhering to their parents' wishes. During its first two seasons, 90210 featured cast members from the original series, including Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling, Ann Gillespie, and Joe E. Tata. However, after the conclusion of the second season, there are no plans for any original stars to return. DVR ratings for the series have sometimes doubled its broadcast ratings.

On May 3, 2012, The CW officially renewed 90210 for a fifth season. It premiered on October 8, 2012. 90210 went on its mid-season break on December 10, 2012 and is scheduled to return on January 21, 2013 at a new time slot of 9:00 pm, one week after the premiere of The Carrie Diaries, which took its original time slot of 8:00 pm.

On January 13, 2013, the President of The CW Mark Pedowitz stated that though 90210 doesn't have a season 6 renewal in place, the show would most likely be back next year (possibly for the final season if it were to be canceled) due to him being a "big believer in giving fans a very satisfactory conclusion" for a long-running show.

On February 28, 2013 The CW Entertainment President, Mark Pedowitz, announced that 90210 would not be renewed for a sixth season. The series will air its final episode May 13, 2013.
