“The original show we made on a shoestring budget every week, but on the reboot, we had all the time and money in the world, seemingly. I had way more things at my disposal to create that episode than I ever had on the original show,” he said. And so, as a director, I had way more toys and a bigger visual effects budget. Right? But it was different in the fact that the rebooted show had a way bigger budget than the original version of the show. The filmmaking process is the filmmaking process. Priestley directed an episode of the reboot, and also directed multiple episodes of the original series.

“And at the end of the day, I feel like audiences, although they turned up initially to the show, as the show floundered and didn’t really have a clear vision of what it was going to be, ended up just leaving the show, and Fox didn’t pick the show up because it just didn’t have the viewership that it needed to have.” And I think that, unfortunately, there were just too many people who had too much input on the show. “And a concept like that, that was that difficult to pull off, we really needed somebody with a super firm hand and a super clear vision of what the show was going to be to guide that show. Like, everybody thought they were running the show, and therefore nobody was running the show. thought they were running the show, the executive producers we had in Vancouver thought they were running the show. “The network thought they were running the show, the studio thought they were running the show, the writers’ room in L.A. “Once we actually got into production, too many people thought they were running the show,” said Priestley in Monte-Carlo.

Carteris, Garth, Green, Priestley, Spelling, Doherty, and Ziering were all executive producers. Paul Sciarrotta was the showrunner and exec produced alongside creators Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler. “BH90210” was produced by CBS Television Studios and Fox Entertainment.
