Tori Spelling also shared some details to E! Online about the project which I'm sharing here as Deadline have. Spelling says she's unsure of when the show will come into fruition but expects it to be within 2019. She also mentions that Luke Perry, who is a regular on The CW's Riverdale will guest star whenever he has the time.
"It's not technically a reboot, because I feel like everyone has seen the reboot. We don't want to be the last ones like doing the reboot thing, and no one wants to see like old versions of ourselves, but they do want to see us playing our characters, so what we're doing is the entire cast is playing heightened versions of themselves," Spelling explained to Carissa Culiner and Morgan Stewart
"Think Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, in an hour long show, and we're all playing heightened versions, so it could be fictional, it could be non-fictional, people will have to guess," she continued. "And then we will have pop-ins, because we're behind the scenes trying to do the reboot."
