“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.”
CBS Studios declined to comment.
What the cast of Melrose Place looks like now
A previous Melrose Place reboot aired on the CW from 2009-2010.
The show hasn’t landed a home yet and is currently being shopped to networks and streamers, according to the production source.
The original series was a huge hit in the ’90s, and starred the likes of Courtney Thorne-Smith, Kristin Davis, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett and Andrew Shue, alongside Locklear, Leighton and Zuniga, who are returning for the reboot.

Melrose Place made Locklear a household name, and she and Calabro were the only cast members to stay on for all seven seasons of the show.
