Beverly Hills 90210 Alums Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling Join for Mystery Girls on ABC Family

Tori and Jennie

ABC Family will be the home of a new comedy pilot called Mystery Girls that will find former Beverly Hills 90210 stars Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling back on the small screen together.

The pilot follows a former starlet who is roped into solving crimes with her former mystery TV show co-star when a witness to a crime will only speak to the infamous “Mystery Girls”, which was the highest rated program of the 90’s.

Spelling will play Holly, who is desperate to regain her former fame and plans to resurrect her life by using her acting skills and crime “experience” to open a detective agency. Now she just has to get Charlie (Garth), her former co-star-turned suburban housewife and mother, on board with the plan.

Spelling and Garth will both serve as executive producers along with Maggie Malina (Single Ladies”). The story actually comes from Spelling and Shepard Boucher (Men at Work), who wrote the pilot for Mystery Girls. The pilot will shoot in November, but ABC Family has not announced when (or if) the pilot will actually air on the network.
