Long before the rebooted version appeared on Freeform in 2019, the original "Party of Five" which aired from 1994-2000, riveted viewers with the drama and angst of the Salinger family. Storylines about grief, addiction, and mental health helped "Party of Five" to shine apart from its teen-centered television predecessors. Originally, Fox executives saw the show as a companion piece to the lighter teenage fare of the original "Beverly Hills 90210," but "Party of Five" evolved into anything but a mirror of Fox's earlier hit.

"Party of Five" centered on a family of young siblings trying to survive and cope after the tragic loss of their parents. Charlie, Bailey, Julia, Claudia, and Owen Salinger felt like real people: their character arcs grew organically throughout the show's six seasons. "Party of Five" impacted pop culture and launched many of those associated with it to stardom. Much like the Rembrandts became known for their hit "Friends" theme song "I'll Be There For You," the BoDeans' biggest hit was "Closer to Free" — their theme song for "Party of Five."

"Party of Five" paved the way for shows like "Dawson's Creek" (1998-2003) and "One Tree Hill" (2003-2012), and the show is forever ingrained in history as a staple of '90s pop culture. So what's the cast of this hit drama up to now? Let's take a look at the adult lives of these teen stars.
