90210

New international series to start on MNet on January 8.

Starting on MNet on January 8 at 19h30 is the new international series 90210.

If you enjoyed the likes of Tori Spelling, Matt Damon and Jason Priestley from Beverley Hills 90210, then the ‘new 90210’ will definitely keep you glued to your screen.

As a contemporary spin-off of the iconic drama Beverly Hills 90210, the new 90210 looks at life through the eyes of Annie Wilson (played by Shenae Grimes) and her brother Dixon (Tristan Wilds), whose first day at West Beverly Hills High School leaves no doubt that they're not in Kansas anymore. The Wilson family, including dad Harry (played by Rob Estes) and mom Debbie (Lori Loughlin), have relocated to Beverly Hills to keep an eye on Harry's mother Tabitha (Jessica Walter), a feisty former television star and a charter member of the Betty Ford Clinic.

For Annie and Dixon, the awkwardness of being the new kids is made worse by the fact that their dad has taken a job as the high school principal. As close siblings, their relationship will hopefully help them cope with their teachers and counselors as well as their somewhat bossy classmates.

Even they haven’t yet already, the Wilsons are about to realise how much their lives are about to change.
