A 90210 reunion? See you at the Peach Pit to celebrate!
Jennie Garth has joined Tori Spelling as star and executive producer of the new ABC Family pilot Mystery Girls, the network announced today. This marks the first time Garth and Spelling have appeared together on the small screen since Beverly Hills, 90210 ran the airwaves.
Mystery Girls follows the story of Holly (Spelling) and Charlie (Garth), former costars of a popular '90s crime television series who are yanked back into the detective game. A witness to a crime will only talk to the two of them, and Holly is anxious to use her acting skills and detective "experience" to good use. All she has to do is get Charlie, now a suburban housewife and mother, to jump onboard.
Mystery Girls, which also comes from Single Ladies' Maggie Malina and Men at Work's Shepard Boucher, is scheduled to start filming in November.
Last year, Old Navy staged a Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion with a commercial starring Jason Priestley, Garth, Luke Perry and Gabrielle Carteris as teachers at Old Navy Funnovations High. Also at that time, Perry and Garth (who were rumored to be dating), were developing a TV sitcom together. Hopefully Mystery Girls works out better than that one did.
Donnie Marton graduates…to a new series! And Kelly Taylor is totally coming with her.
