The CW network is developing a contemporary spin-off of Aaron Spelling's seminal 1990s teen soap Beverly Hills, 90210, sources said.

Details on the project, including which if any of the characters on the original series will make the transition to the spin-off, remain sketchy.

The spin-off, which is close to getting a writer, has been put on the fast track by the network. It is expected to decide whether to order a pilot by the end of the month.

According to sources, Beverly Hills, 90210 creator Darren Star is not involved.

This would be the second spin-off from the series about privileged teens living in Beverly Hills, which aired on Fox from 1990-2000. The first one, the Star-created Melrose Place,, had a successful seven-year run on Fox. It didn't feature any major characters from Beverly Hills.

A teen soap set in posh Beverly Hills would be a perfect companion to the CW's buzzworthy freshman drama Gossip Girl, which revolves around rich teens living in Manhattan.

Spin-offs are hot this development season. Fox is developing two: Cleveland,, centered on the henpecked character from the hit animated comedy Family Guy, and a Prison Break, offshoot set at a female prison.

Last year, ABC spun off its medical juggernaut Grey's Anatomy into Private Practice. The CW also has a spin-off on its schedule, the Girlfriends offshoot The Game.
