developed by Rob Thomas and Gabe Sachs, that aired on

The series originally revolved around several students at

Their father, Harry Wilson, has returned from Kansas to
his Beverly Hills childhood home with his family to care for
his mother, former television and theatre actress Tabitha

wife Debbie Wilson. Annie and Dixon struggle to adjust to
their new lives while making friends and yet adhering to
their parents' wishes. The series later focuses on the
same group of friends as they graduate from West Beverly
Hills High School and begin their lives in the adult world.
Some attend college at California University, while others
begin exploring avenues beyond post-secondary
education.
