The CW has officially picked up it's new series "90210" for a full season consisting of 22 hour long episodes. They had intially only commited to 12, but given the show's high debut numbers and steady weekly digits, it's no surprise they have decided to put a little faith into the famous zip.
The pickup makes it the first new show of the fall season to receive a full season pick up on ANY network.
The CW also announced that they have added Rebecca Kirschner to the staff as Head Writer and Co Producer. Kirschner is made famous in the industry for being a part of the writing staff on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer","Freeks and Geeks" and as Head Writer on "Gilmore Girls". So this is definitely a welcome addition to the developing show!
90210 news bites...
Jennie Garth aka Kelly Taylor is currently in the process of re-negotiating for more episodes this season, no final word spoken yet but we can assume she will be staying.
Shannen Doherty aka Brenda Walsh unfortunatly was only signed on for the 5 she has done,and she has yet to re-negotiate a deal because she is working on another show pilot , but she has been such a welcome addition to "90210" that I hear CW is actively working with her to return later in the season. Doherty's final episode is currently set for next tuesday.
90210 airs Tuesday's at 8pm est on The CW
