Season 5 American television series 90210 aired on the CW television network. The fifth and final season of 90210 was announced on May 3, 2012. On May 17, 2012, it was announced that the show's fifth season would be moving back to Mondays at 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central followed by the sixth season of Gossip Girl at 9:00pm. The season premiered on October 8, 2012.
90210 went on its mid-season break on December 10, 2012 and returned on January 21, 2013 at a new time slot of 9:00 pm. On January 13, 2013, the President of The CW Mark Pedowitz stated that although 90210 does not have a season 6 renewal in place, the show would most likely be back next year, due to him being a "big believer in giving fans a very satisfactory conclusion" for long-running shows.
In spite of this, in late February it was announced that the fifth season would indeed be the final season of the show, with the series finale airing May 13, 2013. The season concluded with a 2 hour series finale that aired on May 13, 2013. The show was shopped at every network after the finale aired, but none of the networks they pitched it to wanted to air it. It was officially cancelled on August 23, 2013.
