Lifetime is making a tell-all movie again, this time highlighting "Beverly Hills, 90210" that ran from 1990 to 2000. "The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story" will "show the roller coaster ride of the program's first four seasons, highlighting the drama between cast members and producers both on and off-set, including the series' journey from several near-cancellations to its massive success and imprint in the cultural zeitgeist and lasting impression it has made on millions of people to this day."
"An international pop culture phenomenon, the drama series 'Beverly Hills, 90210' ruled the 1990s television landscape," Lifetime said in a statement. The show, which helped launch the careers of its stars, including Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, has spanned spin-offs "Melrose Place" and "Models Inc" as well as The CW's "90210" and "Melrose Place".
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" tell-all movie will be directed by Vanessa Parise with a script penned by Jeff Roda. Peter M. Green ("Mean Girls 2") and Howard Braunstein ("The Informant!") will serve as executive producers, while Christian Bruyere will produce. No airdate is announced yet for the movie.
Lifetime previously aired "The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" in 2014 and has greenlit "The Unauthorized Full House Story" which is set to premiere on August 22.
