Airing from 1990 to 2000, Fox Television's "Beverly Hills, 90210" was a hit series starring Jason Priestly and Shannon Doherty. The show, set at the fictitious West Beverly High, was an hour-long drama that followed the lives of wealthy, but sometimes troubled, teens.

"Beverly Hills, 90210" was the brainchild of television guru Aaron Spelling, who also produced such 1970s hits as "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island" and "Charlie's Angels." In 1992, Spelling produced "Melrose Place," a spin-off to "Beverly Hills, 90210" that lasted eight seasons.

Jason Priestley to direct online series

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - TheWB.com is teaming with former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Jason Priestley for "The Lake," a new online series.

The coming-of-age drama concerns four families who spend each summer together at a lakeside retreat. Priestley will serve as director of the project, which will be produced by former WB TV network CEO Jordan Levin, through his media company Generate, and partners Pete Aronson and Michael Petok.

Twelve episodes of "The Lake" have been ordered, each with a fairly significant running time (for online content, at least) of seven to 10 minutes each.

The series will premiere in August.
