Brian Austin Green Shares Past 'Hope' Luke Perry Would Be In '90210' Reboot

2019 Fox Upfront

While I'm soooo looking forward to the Beverly Hills 90210 reboot, I think all of us who were fans when we were younger know that there will be a bit of sadness with the reboot, knowing that the cast is missing one incredibly important member: Luke Perry.

Luke tragically passed after suffering from a stroke back in March.

Though Luke was not necessarily slated to be a full-blown member of the reboot due to his scheduling conflicts with shooting Riverdale, his cast mate Brian Austin Green just opened up about how there had been hope Luke would be able to be a part of the reboot in some way.

Brian explained to PEOPLE:

“It’s a hard situation... I knew that going into it that Luke couldn’t do the reboot because he was shooting Riverdale. But my honest hope was he would make time to come do at least three episodes. He was awesome.”

Ugh, my heart breaks for Luke's cast mates, current and past, as well as his family. It's so hard to imagine the world of '90210' without him, without Dylan McKay, and that's coming from someone who was just a fan of the show and got to meet Luke a couple years back.

It turns out that even though Luke was not signed on officially for the reboot, he was giving some input to the cast and crew about what it might look like.

“We talked to him on the phone because we still wanted his input... He was just that kind of guy. Knowing that that’s not a possibility is really hard.”

The Beverly Hills 90210 reboot is slated to be a 6-episode revival that will feature the OG cast as “heightened versions of themselves in a brand-new serialized drama — with a healthy dose of irreverence — that is inspired by their real lives and relationships."

Original Beverly Hills, 90210 cast members Gabrielle Carteris, Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, and Ian Ziering, will all be back for the reboot, premiering Aug. 7.
