Deadline reports.The show will pick up years after the original series — which ran from July 1992 to March 1999 — and provide an update on its beloved characters. While many of the plot points, and cast members for that matter, remain shrouded in mystery, it was verified that the new reboot would involve the death of one of the original characters prompting the return of Amanda Woodward (Locklear), Sydney Andrews (Zuniga, 61) and Jo Reynolds (Leighton, 55). “When one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the residents of ‘Melrose Place’ gather to honor the deceased,” the show’s logline reads.
“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.”There is currently no official date for the reboot, which is currently in development at CBS Studios and being pitched to networks and streaming services. “Melrose Place” was initially a spinoff of “Beverly Hills, 90210” and aired for seven seasons. This is not the first time the Darren Star-created soap opera has been revived.
