Actress Shannen Doherty will return as Brenda Walsh in a new series of hit 90s show Beverly Hills 90210.

The CW network says her character is now a famous director who is invited back to stage a musical at her old school.

She will guest star in "multiple episodes" CW said, making the announcement at a meeting of the Television Critics Association in Beverly Hills.

She will be reunited with a few members of the old West Beverly High School gang.

As previously announced, Jennie Garth will return as Kelly Taylor, now a guidance counsellor at the school, and Tori Spelling will be back as Donna Martin, who owns a boutique.

Also back is Joe E Tata, again playing Peach Pit cafe owner Nat.
