There's a new gang at West Beverly High. The CW offers up "90210," an edgy spin-off of the iconic "Beverly Hills, 90210." "90210" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. Like the original, the new "90210" looks at life through the eyes of Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes) her brother Dixon (Tristan Wilds), who are fresh transfer students at West Beverly High School. The Wilson family, including dad Harry (Rob Estes) and mom Debbie (Lori Loughlin), has relocated to Beverly Hills to keep an eye on Harry's mother Tabitha (Jessica Walter), a feisty-but-faded former television star and a charter member of the Betty Ford Clinic.

For Annie and Dixon, the awkwardness of being the new kids is made worse by the fact that their dad has taken a job as the high school principal. Annie's a sweet and friendly girl with a passion for the theater, while Dixon is a star athlete and scholar who was adopted by the Wilson family after they took him in as a foster child. Annie and Dixon cope with new cliques and classmates, including Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord), a hot, spoiled, rich girl; Ethan (Dustin Milligan), a popular jock whose abilities rival Dixon's; Navid (Michael Steger), an aspiring journalist who heads up the school's daily newscast; and Silver (Jessica Stroup), a rebel who produces and stars in a YouTube-type video series.

Even the faculty seems hip and sophisticated at WBHHS, such as smart and funny teacher Ryan Matthews (Ryan Eggold) and beautiful guidance counselor Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth). The Wilson family has just begun to realize how much their lives are about to change.

"90210" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
