"There is drama behind the scenes of Fox’s upcoming Beverly Hills, 90210 revival that is worthy of — well, Beverly Hills, 90210," reports Variety. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith and several senior writers have quit, with staff writer Paul Sciarrotta taking over showrunning duties along with creators Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler. "The exact reason for the exodus is unclear," Variety adds. "One source said the dispute was over interference from two of the show’s lead actresses, while another noted that the writers were unhappy with one of the executives overseeing the project."
