Drama, intrigues and non-stop tears: In the 90s, "Beverly Hills 90210" caused quite a stir and is still one of THE cult series par excellence today. In the revival "BH90210", which flickered across the screens a good 19 years after the series hit, there is a reunion with many old acquaintances from Beverly Hills. But as with all major series hits of the past decades, we ask ourselves the question: What actually became of the stars from back then? We know what Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty and the rest of the Beverly Hills 90210 gang are up to today.

Jennie Garth was married to "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli
In "Beverly Hills 90210" Jennie Garth played the role of Kelly Taylor. Shortly before the US start of the reboot, the 48-year-old caused a stir mainly with her changed appearance. In 2012, Jennie split from her husband, "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli. She has been married to producer Dave Abrams since 2015. When it comes to acting, however, Jennie has been very quiet since BH90210.
Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling fails to achieve great success
She was also part of the regular cast of "Beverly Hills 90210" in her role as Donna Martin: Tori Spelling. After the cult series, she stood in front of the camera together with fellow actress Jennie Garth for the series "Mystery Girls". The 47-year-old was also seen in various films such as "Scary Movie 2" or "Sharknado 6", but there were no really big Hollywood successes. Instead, Tori kept making headlines thanks to her cheating husband, Dean McDermott.
Shannen Doherty fights cancer
Shannen Doherty's acting career began at a very young age. From 1982 to 1983 she played in "Our Little Farm" and quickly became a child star. Shannen starred as Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210. After she left, the next milestone in the career of the now 49-year-old followed: As Prue, she released her magical powers in the mystery series "Charmed - Zauberliche Hexen". Then in 2020 the shock news: The actress was diagnosed with breast cancer again. Since stage IV cancer is considered practically incurable, Shannen Doherty even said goodbye to her loved ones at the end of 2020.
Beverly Hills 90210 star Jason Priestley was involved in a serious racing accident
He's the man Brenda Walsh cuddled with on Beverly Hills Beach in the '90s: Jason Priestley. Until 2000, the now 51-year-old starred in the cult series "Beverly Hills 90210" as Brandon Walsh. He then took on smaller roles in a number of series and TV films. Since 2016, Jason, who had a serious racing accident almost 20 years ago, has been one of the main actors in the "Private Eyes" series.
Back into show business with the Sharknado series
Actor Ian Ziering starred in his role as Steve Sanders in "Beverly Hills 90210" for a good ten years. The 56-year-old was not able to build on his old successes for a long time. Only with the trash horror film series "Sharknado" did Ian experience new fame. In November 2019, he announced his separation from wife Erin Kristine Ludwig.
Brian Austin Green is married to Megan Fox
Beverly Hills 90210 starred Brian Austin Green as David Silver. But the 47-year-old also took on larger roles in other series – for example in “Anger Management” and “Desperate Housewives”. Most recently, the ex-Beverly Hills 90210 star made headlines for his on-off relationship with his wife Megan Fox. In 2020, Brian Austin Green also showcased his singing skills on The Masked Singer.
Gabrielle Carteris cheated on her age
Actress Gabrielle Carteris was one of the stars of "Beverly Hills 90210" as Andrea Zuckerman, but she never had a big Hollywood career. The 60-year-old, who fibbed about her age during the filming of the cult series, occasionally played minor roles in TV series and various TV films. In 2016, Gabrielle was elected President of the Screen Actors Guild.
