Check in with the ‘90210’ Reboot Cast — Beverly Hills High Class of 2008

Beverly Hills, 90210 was full of delicious drama, relationships and chaos that kept us satisfied for ten years, and the 2008 reboot, 90210, is no different. Based off of the 1990 series, 90210 follows siblings Annie and Dixon Wilson, who move from Kansas to Beverly Hills, California and experience major culture shock as they quickly get wrapped up in high school drama. 

Check in with the cast of 90210 and see where the stars have been since its ending in 2013.

Shenae Grimes-Beech

Character Played: Annie Wilson

Born: October 24, 1989, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Best Known For: The TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation (2004-2008) and the movie Scream 4 (2011)

Thoughts on 90210: “I do feel like it wasn't finished. I feel like we were robbed a little bit, and that was very frustrating… we'd given so much of our lives to that show and those characters.”

Tristan Mack Wilds

Character Played: Dixon Wilson

Born: July 15, 1989, in Staten Island, New York

Best Known For: Half Nelson (2006), The Secret Life of Bees (2008) and Red Tails (2012)

Thoughts on 90210: “On the set of 90210, because we’re all around the same age and we’re all pretty close knit, it’s more like a school environment. Every time I go to work it’s like school. You never know what’s going to happen, you always play pranks on each other, it’s really stuff like that.”

AnnaLynne McCord

Character Played: Naomi Clark

Born: July 16, 1987, in Atlanta, Georgia

Best Known For: Transporter 2 (2005), Fired Up! (2009), Excision (2012) and Scorned (2013)

Thoughts on 90210: “They can expect a lot of fun and laughter [in season 2]- as well as some serious moments, too. We delve into real life issues, so there will be somber moments — but there are also loads of laugh-out-loud moments, which are hilarious. We're doing the best work we've ever done on the show and we're really proud of it.”

Jessica Stroup

Character Played: Erin Silver

Born: October 23, 1986, in Anderson, South Carolina

Best Known For: School for Scoundrels (2006), The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007), Prom Night (2008) and Ted (2012)

Thoughts on 90210: “The first season of 90210 was infinitely important, in my career and my growth as a person. It changed my life and opened my mind. I’m forever grateful for my time as Silver.”

Michael Steger

Character Played: Navid Shirazi

Born: May 27, 1980, in Los Angeles, California

Best Known For: The movie The Cheetah Girls: One World (2008), as well as TV series like The Chosen (2022-2023), Grey’s Anatomy (2023) and Blue Ridge: The Series (2024)

Thoughts on 90210: “I became interested in 90210 because it was an opportunity. That year, I probably had 80 auditions, and 90210 was one of them. At that point, an actor really isn’t picky, just open for work. So that was the first opportunity that came my way.”

Jessica Lowndes

Character Played: Adrianna Tate-Duncan

Born: November 8, 1988, in Vancouver, Canada

Best Known For: A Mother’s Nightmare (2012), A Deadly Adoption (2015) and Harmony from the Heart (2022)

Thoughts on 90210: “I had so much fun. I got to dive into so many pressing issues. My character had a lot of drama, so as an actress, it was really fun to play. The whole thing was a highlight to me. It was so not what I thought it was going to be and it turned into being so much more.”

Matt Lanter

Character Played: Liam Court

Born: April 1, 1983, in Massillon, Ohio

Best Known For: TV series including Timeless (2016-2018) and Jupiter’s Legacy (2021). Also known for the movies Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

Thoughts on 90210: “It was bittersweet. It’s like you’ve been with this family for five years and things are changing and ending. It’s very odd to go to work the last day knowing you’re never going to go back… It’s kind of like leaving high school. It’s sad and you’re going to miss all your friends.”

Trevor Donovan

Character Played: Teddy Montgomery

Born: October 11, 1982, in Bishop, California

Best Known For: The movie Savages (2012), as well as the TV series Texas Rising (2015) and Sun Records (2017)

Thoughts on 90210: “Teddy is very likable and a fun guy to be friends with….he’s not fake, he’s pretty straight forward… It’s a lot of fun.”
