La Vie en Melrose

On the heels of the (somewhat) success of their 90210 reboot, the CW is looking to return to another familiar Southern California TV locale (also created by Darren Star): Melrose Place. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello reports that the network is aiming to launch the new series as early as next fall, but there's not much more to go on at this point.

However, like the nouveau 90210, one can assume that the new Melrose will feature a fresh set of characters in familiar settings (Shooters, D&D, the WeHo apartment complex with its infamous swimming pool -- so perfect for catfights and accidental drownings). And of course, there's a whole slew of former cast members ripe for the guest star picking ... those whose characters didn't meet untimely ends, that is.
