Three popular Melrose Place original cast members, Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton and Daphne Zuniga, are reuniting for a followup to the 1990s staple. A Melrose Place reboot, with the trio attached to star, is in development at CBS Studios and is currently being shopped to networks and streamers.
The new Melrose Place picks up years after the original series and would provide an update on the beloved characters, one of whom may no longer be with us. More original cast members are expected to join the reboot if it comes to fruition.
In the new installment, when one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honor the deceased. But the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.
Locklear was on for the series’ entire seven-season run, starting as a recurring in Season 1 before being upped to a series regular the following season. Zuniga was a series regular for the first four seasons; Leighton was on the show for the first five seasons as a guest star, recurring and a series regular.
