I am here to shout from the rooftops and share that our OG faves- Brandon, Brenda, Kelly, Steve, Donna & David…are back! I don’t know your age, but I do know that you have to remember sitting down at least one time in the summer of the 90’s and enjoying some BH90210. It was a cultural phenomenon for an entire generation!
The OG episodes were amazing, and so much of my teenage life and college years were just like BH90210. I caught up on all the drama just as the series was coming to a close in 2000. I was still in high school at the time, and I saw so much of myself in parts of so many of the characters.
I spent the entire drive for our summer road trips catching up on all the OG memories! Thanks to the hubs for his hot spot, allowing me to stream it from the car.
Moving to a Bigger City
First of all, if you ever made a big move, you probably could relate a lot to Brandon and Brenda Walsh. They made a big move from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Beverly Hills. The cool thing about BH90210 is that it addressed a lot of cultural issues during that time, but did it in a cool way!
Teen Idols of My Time
While current teenage girls have their crushes, in the late 1990s, the teen idol was Jason Priestley. I could have watched him alllll day. This is probably what else made the original so popular.
Some of the teen idols that were so popular during the OG cast were Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, and Brian Austin Green.
After the original show ended, I remember carrying my love for this show into my adulthood. There have always been tons of references to the show. I think it was one of the shows that made a huge difference in television. Many of us learned a lot watching BH90210.
Today’s television has a lot of drama, but nothing compares to the drama that BH90210 has brought to the screen. I can’t wait to see what they bring when the gang gets back together.
Bringing the OG Crew Back
I get super excited when I think about the cast returning, it’s exciting. When this amazing show consumed so much of your teenage years, it’s exciting to know that it’s returning.
In 2019, it was announced that the reboot would premier on August 7, 2019, at 9/8c on FOX! There is a 6 episode reboot happening, and you better believe I’ll be sitting there with my popcorn, savoring every single moment. I cannot wait to see what will happen when first loves, old romances, friends, and frenemies come back together at the Peach Pit. Psst- The Peach Pit is opening as real-life pop-up eatery for fans to stop by and enjoy. I’ll take a Mega burger sub veggie, hold the bacon and extra cheese, please!
What You Need to Prepare for the new BH90210
If you’re going to be watching BH90210 on August 7th, 2019 at 9/8c on FOX, then you’re going to need some items to help get you through.
Snacks – You cannot watch this new reboot without having your snacks! I’m going to be eating my favorite 90s snacks. Bugles and Fruit by the Foot were quite popular during the 90s in my house.
Hair & Makeup – I can’t wait to dive back into hairstyles from the 90s! I will be busting out my newly purchased deep waver, scrunchies & I might even do my makeup with that retro look, I think it’ll be fun.
Friends and Family – Watching BH90210 wouldn’t be the same without my friends and family there! It’s going to be an exciting night.
Commercial Break Ideas– Play Mash, do the Macarena, jam to some BSB or N’SYNC.
So tell me, what is nostalgic from this time that is making you walk down memory lane? What are you excited for?
Thank you for your tips, I’m going to stock up on snacks. I will definitely be watching this when it returns. I’m as excited about this as you seem to be, lol.
We’re so excited to see this classic coming back to the screen. Thanks for the heads up. Favorite characters are making an appearance too! Yay!
How did I miss this the first time, looks lots of fun. I love your tips for watching in style too!
I loved this show when I was younger. I didn’t even know it was making a come back. Thanks for the heads up.
I have to say this is a show I never did watch. But I was only in elementary school at the time, so it wasn’t something I could watch. I’ve heard so many good things about it though, I’ll have to see if I can catch up.
I am so looking forward to this! I have always been a huge 90210 fan. Although wish Luke was around to be on!
Ahhh I love how excited you are about this! I’ve never watched 90210, but of course I’ve heard about it a million times. Maybe I need to watch the original so I can get into the new version of the show when it premieres. I was just seeing promos for it while binge-watching on Hulu!
I’ve vaguely heard of this show but I’ve never seen it…I think it was before my time haha! But I know the excitement of getting to watch something you like and stocking up on snacks!
Sad that Luke Perry is no longer there. It was such a fun show.
My teenage self is ecstatic that 90210 is back. My current self is a bit hesitant. I hope it’s good!
This is so awesome! So cool that they are bringing the OG’s back!

I haven’t watched 90210 in years but what a great show!
90210 is so popular when I was growing up in Asia. I can’t imagine they are back again. I didn’t know the meaning of 90210 until I visited Beverly hills 2 years ago,
Girl, you know how much I love 90210! Love that you watched in the car on your road trip!
I watched this show off an on growing up. I don’t watch a ton of tv these days but I do plan on watching a few episodes.
I loved this show, but it makes me so sad watching without Luke Perry.
Yep, Jason Priestly was very easy on the eyes. I liked this and then Melrose Place that followed immediately after.
90210 is back? My mom is going to love this news! She loves so much this show
I am so excited that this show is returning. It was one of my favorites from back in the day!
Can’t wait for it … brings back so many memories.
Ooooo I can’t wait to check out the reboot of this show. I loved watching it with my mom when I was a kid
It’s funny because I know them all from their own separate projects, but I’ve never seen them in the original 90210. This should be fun to check out!
I enjoyed seeing the photos and reading about this as I was such a huge fan when they first came out. Its nice to see how they look now. How wonderful that you could stream the show from your car.
Between this and remake of gossip girl I’m all kinds of pumped!
I LOVED watching this show when I was growing up. I am so excited to watch this again!
WHOA blast from the plast right here. I cant wait!
I can’t believe this is coming back!!! I loved this show (90s child too), though it’s a little sad without Dylan 🙁 I’d love to watch this!
I’m so excited for this show to be back on. I loved watching it growing up.
I can still remember the day when I was hook with this series and now its a reality, BH90210 came back! I am so excited to watch this!
I can’t believe they are back! I loved BH growing up and this just makes me feel so old … but I will enjoy it no doubt! Thanks for this great post!
I can’t believe I never watched this show. I’m intrigued. Sounds like a must! I’m liking the cast already.
I never watched this show. You peaked my interest.m though. I will certainly look out for its return.
I remember watching this when I was a child. My favorites used to be Brenda and Brandon. 🙂 It’s so cool that they are making a new series after so many years.
Oh my can’t wait to watch this. I remembered watching them during my high school days.
There are so many awesome remakes happening right now!! I never watched this show originally but now I feel like I need to!
That’s so fun it’s coming back like this!! I love when shows make fun comebacks! Thanks for all these tips ?
Xx, Morgs*
This is so cool! I never really watched it, except for the one episode where my favourite singer, Olly Murs, was in it! With two of my favourite shows just finishing, I think it’s time I watch the og before trying this one!
I am very excited to see that show starting next week and I used to watch that show every week when I was going into high school! I was so hooked and Luke Perry was my fave! ❤️
I really loved 90210, but I am a bit skeptical about the reboot.
I am so excited! I really need to finishing rewatching the original series!
I love that all these shows are getting reboots with the original cast. First Veronica Mars and now BH09210. EEeeekkk!! So excited!
When I think of shows that are made for watching parties, this one would be at the top of the list!! Who doesn’t remember the drama and the cliffhangers? Me and my girlfriends will be getting together to watch it for sure.
