Locklear, 47, will be resuming her role as Amanda Woodward in the remake of the CW network series. She will be returning on November 17.
Executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer stated, "We’re ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to Melrose Place. Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion."
A source revealed that Locklear viewed a pilot episode of the show, which starred Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, and said she "was surprised at how much she liked it."
