Beverly Hills, 90210 stars Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green have reunited in the scripted microdrama world.
Spelling, who played Donna Martin in the original drama, and Green, who appeared as her onscreen love interest, David Silver, are both starring in an untitled original thriller microseries for vertTV.
Production wrapped Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The first vertical microseries for either of them also features 90210 alum Carol Potter, who played Cindy Walsh, the mom of twins Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley).
There are no plot details for the thriller as vertTV, the Los Angeles-based microdrama studio launched by Hollywood veterans Jeffrey Schenck, Barry Barnholtz and Peter Sullivan, expands its slate of star-driven ultrashorts.
The microdrama is written and directed by Theo Buckwald, with Barnholtz, Sullivan, Ben Rosenthal, Brian Nolan and Schenck sharing the producer credits.
VertTV, launched in July 2026, has done over 200 TV movies for Lifetime and Hallmark in the past and is now betting on bite-sized dramas like Lone Star Hearts, starring Cindy Busby and Josh Henderson, to continue gaining traction with mobile phone audiences.
Other vertTV microdramas include the romance Finding Hope — starring Jodie Sweetin, John Brotherton, and Marla Sokoloff — and Chonda, starring Chonda Pierce and Regan Burns in a vertical fish-out-of-water comedy.

Beverly Hills, 90210 is having a mini-reunion on a microseries.
Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green — who portrayed iconic 1990s TV couple Donna Martin and David Silver — just wrapped production on a new thriller for VertTV on Wednesday.
The cast features another familiar face to 90210 fans: Carol Potter, best remembered as Cindy Walsh, the mother of Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Brandon (Jason Priestley).

Spelling, Green, and Potter previously reunited in 2019 for the one-season project BH90210, playing fictionalized versions of themselves as the original 90210 cast attempts to reboot the teen drama, two decades after it went off the air.
The latest project is the first vertical microseries for both Spelling and Green, but not the first TV reunion for VertTV.
Fuller House alums Jodie Sweetin, John Brotherton, and Marla Sokoloff starred in the recent romantic microdrama Finding Hope, which dropped in September.
Spelling and Green starred on 90210 for all 10 seasons, from 1990 to 2000.
Their characters began dating in season 2 and, in true dramatic television fashion, went on to have an on-and-off roller-coaster relationship that culminated with a wedding in the final season.
But it wasn’t all an act.
Behind the scenes, the two had a secret fling during the show’s early run.
“I was young, and I was caught up in it,” Spelling revealed in 2024 on her Misspelling podcast.
“I love his fiancée [Sharna Burgess], it’s not that. But if he says something to me, I get so flustered and riled up, and it takes me right back to being my 18-year-old self.”

The two revisited the relationship in a later episode of Spelling’s podcast, though Green couldn’t remember an important moment: the first time the couple had sex.
“I feel like such a stupid girl right now,” confessed Spelling, who recalled it happening at Disneyland after a cast appearance.
“Wasn’t it at Shannen’s house?” Green asked.
In another conversation on his Oldish podcast, the two spoke about their 18-year estrangement after 90210 ended.
