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 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 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.
