The show, known for its cultural impact, significant themes, and nostalgic memories, remains a beloved part of television history, promising special commemorative events for fans to relive the iconic moments.

Beverly Hills, California celebrates the 35th anniversary of the iconic television series Beverly Hills, 90210 on October 4, 2025. Originally premiered on October 4, 1990, the show has made an indelible mark in television history by following the lives of twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh, who move from the Midwest to Beverly Hills. The series gained acclaim for its bold approach in covering significant issues such as drug use, mental health, and teen sexuality, thus becoming a groundbreaking representation of teenage life among privileged peers.

On October 20, 2025, Paramount Home Entertainment will release all ten seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210 in a remastered 4K Ultra HD format. This enhanced version features improved color grading, modern sound remastering, and updated aspect ratios, allowing fans to experience the series in a whole new way.

Impact and Themes

Beverly Hills, 90210 tackled various controversial subjects that were ahead of its time, including Brenda’s notable first sexual experience with her boyfriend Dylan McKay. The significance of Los Angeles in the series is undeniable; key locations like Torrance High School and Occidental College were creatively depicted as West Beverly Hills High and California University, respectively. The Walsh family home, an actual property in Altadena, remains preserved and untouched by the Eaton Fire that affected the surrounding areas.

Cultural Phenomenon

The show ran for a total of ten seasons and remains influential, having shaped modern series like Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Euphoria. In 2019, a reboot of 90210 further extended its legacy, showcasing its continuing relevance in popular culture. The original creator, Darren Star, envisioned the program as a “thirtysomething for teenagers,” aiming to authentically reflect the teenage experience.

Behind the Scenes

The pilot was developed into a two-hour movie format, common in the industry at that time, which aimed to capture a realistic teenage perspective. The title was adapted to West Beverly High to avoid confusion with the actual Beverly Hills High School, due to rights issues. Initial skepticism about the show’s potential success did not deter the cast members, who would later reflect positively on their experiences and contributions to the series.

Memorials and Remembrance

While the anniversary celebration is a time of joy, it also marks somber moments due to the losses of cast members like Shannon Doherty, who portrayed Brenda Walsh and passed away in July 2024 after a long battle with breast cancer, and Luke Perry, who played Dylan McKay and died in March 2019 from a major stroke. Gabriel Carteris, known for her role as Andrea Zuckerman, also served as president of SAG-AFTRA for over five years.

Fans and Commemorative Events

Fans of the series can look forward to celebratory events surrounding the anniversary, including special screenings and discussions amongst cast members. In addition, the show continues to resonate with viewers through the 9021OMG rewatch podcast hosted by Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, which shares personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights from the show. The enduring legacy of Beverly Hills, 90210 remains a focal point in television discussions, showcasing its pivotal role throughout the decades.
