She’s back: Shannen Doherty is returning to TV as the star of her own reality series. Cameras will follow the former 90210 star and her fiancé, celebrity photographer Kurt Iswarienko, as they plan their wedding in a new WEtv unscripted show.

The project will chronicle Doherty as she manages all the hectic aspects of preparing for her new marriage (meeting with wedding planners, choosing a venue, and of course, saying yes to a dress) while also renovating her Malibu home.

“People will see a side of Shannen they never expected to see,” says WEtv executive John Miller, who was sold on the concept after watching a pitch tape by Doherty and producers showing the actress “unfiltered, honest and vulnerable.”

In addition to appearing in both the 1990s and 2008 update of 90210, Doherty has co-starred in the shows North Shore and Charmed. Celebrity relationship docu-soaps have proven popular on cable, best demonstrated by none other than Doherty’s former 90210 co-star Tori Spelling over on Oxygen. If all goes according to plan, Doherty’s as-yet-untitled series will premiere in January and its first season finale will show the couple’s wedding. (Top that, Tori & Dean.)

But will viewers also flock to see Doherty once the honeymoon’s over?
“I would watch her go to a supermarket,” Miller says. “She’s insanely compelling.”

SHANNEN DOHERTY RETURNS TO TELEVISION IN NEW, ONE-HOUR

ORIGINAL WE TV SERIES



Premieres First Quarter 2012 on WE tv



NEW YORK, NY – July 21, 2011 – WE tv announced today it has greenlit a new, one-hour original series centered around actress Shannen Doherty (Charmed, Beverly Hills 90210), tentatively titled The Shannen Doherty Project. The eight-part series will showcase Shannen’s relationship with photographer Kurt Iswarienko as they meld and intertwine their dynamic lives. Viewers will witness the challenging, comical, and dramatic moments that ensue when two people – with two different backgrounds – come together, bringing along their own sets of opinionated friends and family. Their complicated, and often hilarious, journey also includes wedding preparations, a house tragedy that may end in lawsuits, and the next chapter of the actresses burgeoning career.

The series begins production in August and will premiere in first quarter 2012 on WE tv.

Commented John Miller, WE tv’s senior vice president, original productions & development:

“Shannen’s relationships and life experiences make her a riveting personality to watch. This is an opportunity for audiences to get a rare sneak peek into the real Shannen, who has been notorious about guarding her private life. Her situations are fam iliar and is what will make this series stand apart from other celeb-reality shows. It’s what WE tv does best – present stories that showcase the wild ride of modern day life from a woman’s perspective.”

The Shannen Doherty Project (wt) is produced for WE tv by RelativityREAL and No Apologies Productions. Executive producers for WE tv are John Miller and Kathleen Farrell.
