Melrose Place hasn’t yet been renewed for a second season by the CW (see which shows have been given early renewal), so its future is still in doubt. But the show that’s been on hiatus since the tail end of 2009 will be returning with all new episodes on March 9 (check out a promo for the new episodes).

The CW has released a lot of promo photos and a short synopsis for the new March 9 episode, which you can view below. It looks like Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will be making her last appearance in this episode.

AMANDA’S BOYFRIEND (GUEST STAR BILLY CAMPBELL, “4400”) COMES TO TOWN WHILE VIOLET AND AUGGIE PREPARE TO LEAVE

Violet (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz) asks Auggie (Colin Egglesfield) to leave town with her. Amanda (Heather Locklear) puts Ella (Katie Cassidy) in charge of a lavish party at her house to celebrate the arrival of her billionaire boyfriend Ben (guest star Billy Campbell).

However, after Amanda spies Ella and Ben together in a compromising position, she lashes out. Meanwhile, Riley (Jessica Lucas) asks Jonah (Michael Rady) if they can start over. Shaun Sipos and Stephanie Jacobsen also star.
