Rob Thomas- quitting Beverly Hills 90210

By sean

Do you remember my previous words “CW network is planning to make a present-day version of Beverly Hills 90210? Veronica Mars’s creator Rob Thomas is asked to write for the spin off.”

The upcoming spin off has become somehow ho-hum as Rob Thomas, the creator of Veronica Mars is stepping down as show runner of the new series. The reason is that his two other pilots on ABC are under development. Rob himself says, “I’d do the additional pass [of the pilot script], but I’m swamped with the two other projects and ABC has me in first position.”

Rob Thomas is not willing to continue as a show runner but he will be involved in the project as a consultant. Meanwhile, the network is looking for his replacement so the production has been pushed back.

I am the biggest (Okay, bigger) fan of Beverly Hills, 90210 and I was so excited to watch the spin off because of Rob Thomas, a tight tie-wearing director/producer/writer as his produced versions are just superb ( watch veronica mars). I must say that the series will definitely suffer from his departure as he’s one of whom, those can make a success. Meanwhile you can watch the earlier seasons of the show here.

Rob Thomas has really proved the fact “Priorities do matter a lot” that’s why he decided to quit the series as his priorities are other than Beverly Hills 90210
