BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 20 (UPI) -- Actress Shannen Doherty, known for her role on "Beverly Hills, 90210," has joined the cast of a spin-off of the U.S. TV series, her representative says.

The unidentified representative said Doherty was "looking forward" to appearing on the spin-off of the 1990s series, which is to premiere on the CW network Sept. 2, People magazine reported exclusively Saturday.
