“90210”

It’s time to look for another zip code.

90210 will end its run on The CW after five seasons, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The series closer airs Monday, May 13. (THR broke the news Feb. 25 that Michael Jackson‘s eldest son, Prince Michael, would be appearing in the finale.)

“The CW has had five great seasons with America’s favorite zip code, 90210,” said The CW president Mark Pedowitz. “I’d like to thank the talented cast, producers, and crew for all their hard work and dedication to the series. We are very proud of the West Beverly High alumni.”

Hitting a series low of a 0.2 rating among adults 18-49 and 550,000 viewers for the Feb. 18 episode, the current season has seen the aging drama drop quite a bit in the ratings. Season-to-date, it is averaging a 0.4 rating in the demo and 928,000 viewers. It gets a Live+7 DVR boost, but just enough to push it to a 0.7 rating in 18-49.

90210 debuted on The CW in September 2008 as a modern update to Beverly Hills, 90210, which lasted 10 seasons. The one-hour drama revolved around students at West Beverly High. Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, Michael Steger, Jessica Lowndes and Matt Lanter co-star, with some Beverly Hills, 90210 vets reprising their roles for a period of time.

Over the years, 90210 has gone through several key changes, with cast member exits and changing showrunners.

A decision on bubble show Nikita has yet to be made, as well as rookie 1980s drama The Carrie Diaries, Hart of Dixie and Beauty and the Beast. The CW gave early renewals to Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and freshman breakout Arrow earlier this month, and moved midseason entry Cult to Fridays starting next week.

Bob Morley

An Australian soap star and an Emily Owens, M.D. actor have landed lead roles in The CW’s The Hundred, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Set 97 years after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization, a spaceship housing the lone human survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth to investigate the possibility of re-colonizing the planet. The drama pilot is based on the forthcoming Little, Brown-published The Hundred book series by Kass Morgan.

Aussie Bob Morley, who starred in Home and Away and Neighbours, is set to play Bellamy, one of the delinquents — but five years older than the next-oldest — on the space station. He is described as manipulative, strong and crafty.

Eli Goree, who had a recurring role on the canceled Emily Owens, is staying put at The CW with the role of Wells Jaha, also one of the young delinquents on the space station. He is disliked by the others because many of their parents have been imprisoned — or worse — by Wells’ father, the chancellor of the space station.

Jason Rothenberg will write and executive produce the Alloy TV/Warner Bros. TV project along with Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo. Bharat Nalluri will direct.

Morley’s casting comes one day after The CW snagged another Aussie, Home and Away‘s Luke Mitchell, in a lead role for Greg Berlanti and Julie Plec‘s Tomorrow People pilot.

Repped by Mark Morrisey and Associates and Intellectual Artists Management, Morley’s other credits include The Strip, It Takes Two and the upcoming pic Blinder. Repped by Play Management and ROAR, Goree’s credits include Abducted: The Carolina White Story, Supernatural and Pure Pwnage.
