Tori Spelling, Brian Austin Green Go Vertical in Scripted Microdrama
Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green have reunited to star in an untitled thriller microseries for vertTV, marking their first vertical productions. The project also features their former *Beverly Hills, 90210* co-star Carol Potter, as the studio expands its range of short-form dramas for mobile audiences.
Production wrapped in Los Angeles on Wednesday, but plot details have not been released. The series is written and directed by Theo Buckwald; vertTV was launched in July 2026 by Hollywood veterans and has also released titles including *Lone Star Hearts* and *Finding Hope*. The studio says its vertical series use real actors and sets, without generative AI, as production in the format grows while spending on traditional television and streaming content declines.
In short
- Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green lead a new vertical thriller.
- Carol Potter also stars in the untitled microseries.
- VertTV says it makes its shows without generative AI.
Explained simply
Tori Spelling, Brian Austin Green and Carol Potter are actors known for Beverly Hills, 90210, the American television drama about teenagers and their families in Los Angeles. The programme ran through the 1990s and helped make its cast familiar to audiences.
A microseries is a drama released in brief episodes, often made to watch on a mobile phone. Vertical video is framed upright, like a phone screen, rather than in the wider format used for television and films.
VertTV is a studio producing dramas in this format. Its work is part of a broader shift towards short-form mobile entertainment, as companies explore new ways to make and distribute scripted stories.
