Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off 90210 has been axed from Australian TV screens due to poor ratings.

The drama was dropped from Channel 10 after just four episodes because there wasn't enough interest in the show.

The debut program pulled in 837,000 viewers last month, while the last episode shown on Monday achieved viewing figures of just 616,000.

A spokesperson for the channel says, "90210 is an excellent show that clearly resonated with a younger audience, but it didn't have the kind of numbers needed to stay in this intensely competitive environment."

The station intends to broadcast the remaining episodes during the non-ratings period over summer.
