Remember those crazy, Lisa Rinna-fueled rumors of a new spinoff edition of Melrose Place? Not so crazy after all. The CW really is developing a contemporary take on the Aaron Spelling soap opera.

And that's not all: At a presentation on Monday, Harvey Weinstein — whose company produces Project Runway — told reporters that Lifetime will be airing not one but two spinoffs of the show around the same time as the show's November Read more

Since we now have an outline of the main characters for the rumored 90210 spinoff, my brain can't stop thinking about who might be cast in these roles. While these new characters have updated traits and hobbies (emo! YouTube!) they are, as some have pointed out, more or less the new versions of the original cast.

For a show that's not official yet, we sure are hearing a lot about the new Rob Thomas-penned Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff. The Hollywood Reporter got its hands on a detailed description of the series, Variety pieced together details from various casting notices to put together a pretty darn full picture of what the show will look like, and Thomas himself talked to People about his plans.

Before The OC, The Hills, and the Upper East Side, there was one ZIP code everyone knew: 90210. And now, it might be coming back.
