Dustin Milligan, a 22-year-old Canadian actor, will take up residence in the rehashed tween drama Beverly Hills 90210. Milligan previously starred as Henry in the fleeting CW drama Runaway.

Milligan's acting resume also includes roles in Final Destination 3, The Messengers and Slither.

The show's pilot has been written, but not yet titled. However, creator Rob Thomas gave away some details of the show's plot to People.

"The guy who gets hired as the new principal brings his family of four from Kansas to Beverly Hills. The principal, himself, graduated from West Beverly High School," Thomas said. "The grandmother – the principal's mother – is a Julie Christie-like actress who is once again going into rehab."

It is not known whether any of the original cast will make a transition onto the new show, though we all know Tori Spelling is champing at the bit.
