'90210' gets full season pickup

The CW has handed a full season order to Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff 90210.

The teen drama premiered on September 2 with 4.9 million viewers, ranking as The CW's best-rated series premiere in its two-year history. The audience has since fallen off slightly but the show is rating highly in the network's target women 18-34 demo and the coveted adults 18-49 demo.

Network president Dawn Ostroff said: "The successful addition of 90210 has taken The CW another step forward in building a cohesive schedule that defines this network as a destination for young women with shows that get our audience talking - and watching."
