Upfronts: The code of ‘90210’

A familiar tune pounded through the speakers inside the CW tent:

Da na na na.

And everyone knew what it meant. The new ‘90210’ era is upon us. Although we didn’t get to see a trailer -- it hasn’t been shot -- we did get treated to a promo shot modeled after the original title sequence.

The West Beverly High gang posed and frolicked: Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, AnnaLynne McCord, Dustin Milligan, Jessica Stroup and Michael Steger. Exactly what would you expect of them when you hear ‘Da na na na.’ Fun. Sexy. Intriguing.

But no one, strangely, got more applause than the actress who plays the drunk granny, Jessica Walter.

When the promo was over, the crowd was warned: ‘You wanna live in the Zip, you gotta live by the code.’
