Melrose Place, the iconic serialized drama created by Darren Star, may be making a comeback once again. Originally airing on Fox from 1992 to 1999, the show gained significant popularity after the introduction of Heather Locklear as the ambitious and cunning character Amanda Woodward.
The news of a second reboot of Melrose Place has surfaced, with CBS Studios at the helm. This time, the reboot will feature original cast members Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga, and Laura Leighton, who will also serve as executive producers.
In a previous attempt to revive the series in 2009, Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton, and Thomas Calabro reprised their roles for a one-season run on Fox. The upcoming reboot will explore a storyline where the residents of Melrose Place come together to honor a deceased friend, leading to a cascade of old traumas, romances, resentments, and secrets resurfacing.
The logline for the new series promises a mix of chaotic drama with a modern perspective, reminiscent of the original show but tailored to contemporary audiences. CBS Studios is actively seeking a network or streaming platform to host the reboot, with Fox being a potential candidate given its history with the franchise.
Heather Locklear, who played a pivotal role in the success of the original Melrose Place, is set to reprise her character Amanda Woodward in the new series. With the return of key cast members and the promise of a fresh take on the beloved drama, fans of the show are eagerly anticipating the revival of Melrose Place.
