BH90210 Season 2: What we know so far
The show premiered on Fox for a six-episode run in August 2019 and ran till September. The show had an average viewership of 2.4 million viewers across its six-episode run. BH90210 was always intended to be a one-time event, as was revealed by Fox entertainment president Michael Thorn.
“We always kind of envisioned it as an event. So we felt like to do it as a short-term event where you could just catch up with these actors that you love and do something that was wildly different was a great way to honour the legacy of the show.”
The show was earlier intended to return for a season 2, showrunner Tori Spelling had said. They even tried to foreshadow a second season with the way they wrote the last episode of season 1. The first season of BH90210 focused more on where these beloved characters were now, 19 years after the original show ended. The second season would have focused more on the reboot, and developing a story based on the characters’ portrayal of themselves.
However, this was not meant to be, as Fox canceled the show after one season. The announcement was made public in November, 2019. Even though fans have demanded for another season of the reboot series, BH90210 will not be returning for a second season.
