For why Fox isn't (https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/07/entertainment/bh90210-canceled/index.html) giving BH90210 a second season? Since this is a "blind item" (http://www.agcwebpages.com/BLINDITEMS/2019/NOV.html), we must take this with a big grain of salt:

85. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 11/08 **#3** (https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2019/11/blind-item-3_8.html)

If they hadn't forced out the show runner and other executive producers/writers, the show would have probably gone several seasons. It just shows that the awful actress turned reality star turned out of work once again actress and her partner in crime who think they knew best, made a mess of a franchise. I wonder if the awful actress took advances on another season of the show and is in debt again. Tori Spelling/Jennie Garth/"Beverly Hills, 90210" ('Beverly Hills, 90210' Revival Canceled at Fox (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/beverly-hills-90210-revival-canceled-at-fox-1253285))

Personally, I'm not take surprised that this show didn't take off (https://www.nickiswift.com/174142/the-real-reason-the-beverly-hills-90210-revival-got-canceled/) as it should have. What really hurt it I believe, was its slow pacing (they took too long to get to the actual filming of the show within the show) and taking too long to bring Shannen Doherty into the fold. And like I just said, we never got the show within the show that was teased from the onset.

Also, I suspect that lot of the viewers of the original series couldn't get use to the format of the cast playing exaggerated versions of themselves (kind of like on Tori Spelling's old VH1 show So NoTorious) rather than solely playing their characters. They wanted a true reunion/reboot to put it in another way instead of a meta-spoof (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/96384-bh90210-in-the-media/page/3/#comments). It doesn't help that arguably, the "heightened versions" were much closer to their television characters' personalities than they were of the actors/actresses' real life personalities. The novelty pretty much ran its course by the end of the first episode.
