Finally the legendary, the original Beverly Hills 90210 returns to TV. After years and years in which the legendary TV series of the 90s, the TV series that invented the teen drama, was unobtainable on any channel and platform available in Italy (and we had launched an appeal in this regard at the end of 2021), BH 90210 lands on TV and streaming on Sky and NOW.
The iconic series debuted in the United States on October 4, 1990 (it would arrive in Italy only two years later… other times), and quickly established itself as a global phenomenon. With its ten seasons, the series created by Darren Star has become an authentic generational cult, capable of redefining the television imagination of the 90s and launching international stars such as Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Luke Perry, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling.

The synopsis of Beverly Hills 90210
Set in the exclusive community of Beverly Hills, California, the series follows the personal and social stories of a group of teenagers dealing with friendship, love, ambition and generational conflicts. At the center of the story are sixteen-year-old twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh, who move with their family from Minnesota to Beverly Hills, suddenly finding themselves immersed in a world of privilege, designer clothes and luxury cars.
At West Beverly Hills High, Brandon and Brenda discover that the stakes are much higher: expectations rise, social pressure becomes more intense and relationship dynamics become more complex. In an environment radically different from that of their origin, the two boys are called to redefine identities and values, dealing with issues such as addictions, sexuality, discrimination and adult responsibility.
