A 90s TV show drama that was based in Los Angeles is making a return with some familiar faces.

Melrose Place, which debuted in 1992 and ran seven seasons is getting a reboot, with some cast members from the original show returning, according to E! News. The series focused on the lives of young adults living in L.A.


Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga, and Laura Leighton will reprise their on-screen roles in the remake with CBS Studios. Zuniga and Leighton will also work as producers, alongside Tiffany Grant, Lauren Gussis, and Jason Weinberg.

The show will focus on the characters reuniting after the death of a close friend, according to E! News.

The show’s logline states that when the group gets back together, it “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.”

Locklear received four Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress in a TV drama series for her role as Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. Leighton was nominated once for Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a series when she played Sydney Andrews.

Melrose Place’s viewership peaked in season 2 with an average of 14.8 million over the 32 episodes.
