BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Brenda Walsh is coming back to "Beverly Hills 90210," and she's arriving in style.
Shannen Doherty will reprise her role as Walsh in CW's new version of the 1990-2000 series, with her character now a famous director who's invited back to stage a musical at her alma mater, the network said Saturday.
Walsh will guest star in "multiple episodes," CW said, making the announcement at a meeting of the Television Critics Association—which, appropriately enough, was in Beverly Hills.
She'll be reunited with a few members of the old West Beverly High School gang. As previously announced, Jennie Garth will return as Kelly Taylor, now a guidance counselor at the school, and Tori Spelling will be back as Donna Martin, who owns a boutique.
Also back is Joe E. Tata, again playing Peach Pit cafe owner Nat.
There had been speculation Doherty would return as Walsh, least seen in the original series bound for London to study acting.
Turns out she was good at it and became a "successful theater actress, splitting her time between London and New York," the CW explained in a release. She then found equal success as a theater director—and her old school prevails on her to do her magic as a guest director.
The CW drama about two high schoolers from the Midwest who move to California and enroll in West Beverly Hills High School debuts Sept. 2.
