Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green star in an untitled original thriller microseries for vertTV, a Los Angeles-based microdrama studio. Production wrapped Wednesday in Los Angeles, and Carol Potter, who played Cindy Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, also joined the cast.
Why it matters
The project reunites two former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-stars in a vertical, mobile-first format rather than traditional television. It reflects the growing push by Los Angeles studios to produce short-form series for phone audiences.
The series is a vertical microseries distributed through the vertTV app, which launched in July 2026 for iOS and Android. The release date, title and episode count have not been announced.
