After Doing 'Heathers,' Shannen Doherty Was Hesitant to Join ‘BH90210’

-

Shannen Doherty has revealed why she joined BH90210 after Luke Perry’s death, but why didn’t she want to be part of the new show in the beginning? The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about her delay in signing on to the quasi-revival.

Which Parts of the 'BH90210' Premiere Are Real?

“I was hesitant for all different reasons — where I was at my life [and] being unsure if I wanted to revisit 90210,” the actress, 48, told Us at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday, August 7. “I didn’t want to be the reboot queen. I had already done Heathers, which was very important to me.”

The former Charmed star appeared in three episodes of Paramount Network’s 2018 reboot series of the 1988 film. After she passed on BH90210, the cast — including Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley and Gabrielle Carteris — “sold it anyway.”

“They were always going to, with or without me,” she explained. “It came back around at a time where I thought it was the right time to do it, to honor a friend and be with my friends, recreating something that was special to America, special to the world and most importantly, special to all of us.”

During the TCA panel for the series in Beverly Hills, she told reporters that things “drastically changed” for her following Perry’s death in March.

“I felt like it was a great opportunity to honor him, and I’m really glad I made that decision because now I get to sit up here with a lot of people that I respect and love,” Doherty said. “We went on this amazing journey together where we also got to really, sort of, heal through losing somebody who means the world to all of us.”

BH90210 airs on Fox Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1 finale. What’s next? Yellowjackets quickly became one of the buzziest shows of the year following its November 2021 premiere — and its finale left viewers eager for answers. The Showtime series follows Misty ( Christina Ricci ), Natalie ( Juliette Lewis ), Shauna ( Melanie Lynskey ) and Taissa ( Tawny Cypress ), who were stranded in the wilderness as teens ( Sammi Hanratty , Sophie Thatcher , Sophie Nélisse and Jasmin Savoy Brown , respectively) after surviving a plane crash. Their traumatic experience leads the women down a dangerous path — and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. “Showtime does like their gore. But luckily, this is just a natural agreement on all of our parts,” showrunner Ashley Lyle told Slate in January 2022 of the show’s dramatic visuals and dark story lines. “We knew going in that we wanted to have a visceral quality to the show. Our intention is never to be shocking or provocative for the sake of
