Beverly Hills is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the iconic television series Beverly Hills, 90210, which first premiered on October 4, 1990. This milestone marks a significant moment for fans who remember the show as a cultural phenomenon that shaped teen drama in the 1990s. To commemorate the anniversary, Paramount Home Entertainment will release a remastered version of all ten seasons in 4K Ultra HD on October 20, 2023, allowing viewers to revisit their favorite episodes with enhanced visuals and sound.

Beverly Hills, 90210 originally ran for ten seasons and introduced audiences to twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh, who moved from the Midwest to affluent Beverly Hills. The show explored various serious themes, including mental health, teen drug use, and sexuality. It provided a lens into the lives of teenagers navigating the challenges and privileges of life among the wealthy in Los Angeles.

Throughout its run, the series elicited memorable moments, such as Brenda Walsh’s first sexual experience with the brooding character Dylan McKay. Locations throughout Los Angeles played an essential role in the show’s setting. For instance, Torrance High School stood in for West Beverly Hills High, while Occidental College represented the fictional California University attended by the characters after high school. The Walsh family home, located in Altadena, remains intact to this day after surviving the Eaton Fire.

While much of the series was filmed on soundstages, the inclusion of numerous exterior shots helped highlight the vibrant Los Angeles backdrop. The impact of Beverly Hills, 90210 continues through its legacy in popular culture, even spawning spin-offs and reboots. Among the notable expansions of this legacy is the 2019 reboot, as well as contemporary shows like Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Euphoria, which have drawn inspiration from the original series.

Several original cast members remain active in Hollywood. Tragically, Luke Perry, who portrayed Dylan McKay, passed away in March 2019 after a stroke. Shannon Doherty, remembered for her role as Brenda, died in July 2024 after a long battle with breast cancer. Gabrielle Carteris, known for her role as Andrea Zuckerman, served as the president of the SAG-AFTRA union for over five years, reflecting her influence beyond acting.

In 2020, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling launched a rewatch podcast titled 9021OMG, allowing fans to delve into behind-the-scenes stories and reminisce about the beloved series. Darren Star, the creator of Beverly Hills, 90210, has expressed pride in the show’s lasting impact and gratitude towards the cast, crew, and fans who have kept its legacy alive over the decades.

As the anniversary approaches, fan excitement continues to build around the remastered release and the nostalgic tributes celebrating the show’s enduring legacy. A newly released digital trailer showcases the remastered series, providing viewers an opportunity to enjoy iconic moments they may cherish or have missed in their original broadcasts.

This anniversary not only marks a reflection on the series that first introduced many to the glamour and drama of Beverly Hills but also highlights its continued relevance in popular culture today. With the remastered version capturing the essence of the original series, long-time fans and new audiences alike can look forward to immersing themselves in the world of Beverly Hills, 90210 once more.
