According to Entertainment Weekly, The CW is planning to relaunch Melrose Place.A spokesperson for The CW confirms what has been buzzed about for months, the network is developing an updated version of Melrose Place. Details remain sketchy, but it's believed Melrose 2.0 would launch next fall.
The move comes as The CW has enjoyed some measure of success with its 90210 reboot. Despite modest ratings, the show has brought attention to the struggling network at a time when it sorely needs it. The suits no doubt figure a Melrose rebirth will generate another round of mass hysteria. (And they'd be right!)
Earlier this month, Darren Star, who created both Melrose and 90210, admitted to TVGuide.com that a Melrose resurrection "would be a fun thing to do. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened -- if it can be put together in the right way."
I wonder if they will be bringing back some of the original cast members. I would love to see Heather (Amanda) Locklear, Jack (Peter) Wagner, Andrew (Billy) Shue, Grant (Jake) Show, Courtney (Alison) Thorne-Smith, Thomas (Michael) Calabro, Josie (Jane) Bissett, Lisa (Taylor) Rinna, Laura (Sydney) Leighton, Marcia (Kimberly) Cross, Doug (Matt) Savant, Daphne (Jo) Zuniga, Kristin (Brooke) Davis, Rob (Kyle) Estes, or the rest of the cast.
