Summary Lauren Gussis is developing a new Melrose Place reboot with three original stars returning.

The cast is set to include Heather Locklear as Amanda Woodward, Laura Leighton as Sydney Andrews, and Daphne Zuniga as Jo Reynolds.

The reboot will rekindle old traumas, romances, resentments, and secrets among the original Melrose Place residents.

A reboot of Melrose Place is in development. The original primetime soap, which itself was a spinoff of the hit teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, ran on Fox for seven seasons between 1992 and 1999. The ensemble show followed the interpersonal drama of a group of twenty- and thirtysomethings living in a Los Angeles apartment complex. The show eventually ran for more than 200 episodes, spawning the short-lived spinoff Models Inc. in 1994 and a previous 18-episode CW reboot in 2009.

Per Variety, a new Melrose Place reboot is in the works from Emmy-nominated writer Lauren Gussis, whose previous work includes writing on Dexter and creating Netflix's Insatiable. The cast will include returning stars Heather Locklear as Amanda Woodward, Laura Leighton as Sydney Andrews, and Daphne Zuniga as Jo Reynolds. Of the three stars, Locklear is the only one to have appeared in all seven seasons of the original run as well as the CW reboot. Leighton and Zuniga will also be executive producing alongside Gussis, Tiffany Grant, and Jason Weinberg. Read the synopsis of the show below:

When one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honor the deceased. But the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.

More to come...
