There’s a new kid in town. Vanessa Lachey is set to recur on Fox’s summer drama series "BH90210." The Top Chef Junior host and Dads alum is the second non-90210 actor to join the new show, following La La Anthony’s casting on Thursday.

BH90210 is described as a serialized drama with a dose of irreverence inspired by the real lives and relationships of Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling. Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, the septet — who will play heightened versions of themselves — reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running.
