The ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' franchise comprises the ongoing timeline and shared characters that link the American television series ''Beverly Hills, 90210''; ''Melrose Place''; ''Models Inc.''; ''90210''; and the 2009 version of ''Melrose Place''. The continuity, which progresses in real time, was introduced in 1990 with the debut of Darren Star's teen drama ''Beverly Hills, 90210'', which was produced by Aaron Spelling and initially aired on the FOX television network in the United States. After this series became a worldwide success in 1991, Star expanded the franchise with 1992's ''Melrose Place'', a drama about young adults in L.A. which would also grow into a famous hit. The third series, ''Models Inc.'', aired from June 1994 to March 1995. The fourth entry, simply titled ''90210'', was the first show in the franchise which did not debut on FOX in the United States. Developed by Rob Thomas, Gabe Sachs, and Jeff Judah, the series premiered on The CW on September 2, 2008. On September 8, 2009, the fifth series, a follow-up to ''Melrose Place'', also debuted on The CW, and concluded in April 2010. The franchise has been generally well received among young audiences. Several of its actors have gone on to additional success in other areas, while some have returned to portray their roles again in spin-offs. As a result, many characters have appeared in multiple shows throughout the continuity. ==Production== While planning a new teen drama in 1989–1990, FOX learned of Darren Star's interest in writing youth-oriented screenplays. Upon being hired by the network, Star created the concept and characters for the series that would eventually become ''Beverly Hills, 90210''. The unexpected worldwide success of this project, as well as that of the spin-off ''Melrose Place'', was largely credited with launching Star's career, while bringing early fortune to FOX in the process. Aaron Spelling, whose company produced the shows, was well known for producing some of the most famous series on television, including ''Dynasty'' and ''The Love Boat''. Spelling would also produce the next show in the franchise, ''Models Inc.'', in 1994. ''Melrose Place'' was initially inspired by Star's own professional aspirations during his 20s,〔 while ''Models Inc.'' was born when FOX asked Spelling for an eight-part summer series. When ratings proved adequate, the show continued throughout the following television season. ''Models Inc.'' concluded in 1995, ''Melrose Place'' finished in 1999, and ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' ended in 2000. In 2008, the franchise returned via the fourth production, ''90210'', attracting a new collection of noted creators. Rob Thomas, known for the television show ''Veronica Mars'', began the initial work on the project. Prior to the premiere, Thomas was succeeded by producers Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, both known for the series ''Freaks and Geeks'' and ''Undeclared''. During the first season, Rebecca Sinclair, who had previously worked on ''Gilmore Girls'' and ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', became the series' new show runner. In June 2009, a fifth production, a follow-up to ''Melrose Place'', was officially confirmed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
