Jason Priestley is looking forward to returning to CW's 90210 -- as director!

"It's going to be a lot of fun to work over there and work with those guys," he said Friday on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show.

Priestley -- who directed 18 episodes of the original series on Fox -- has just one wish before he steps behind the camera.

"I just hope Jennie's in the episode -- or Shannen's there," he told Seacrest, referring to stars Garth and Doherty. "Rob Estes and I have been friends for a long time. It'll be fun."

Does he keep in touch with any of his former 90210 co-stars?

"I talk to Jennie all the time," he said. "We're actually neighbors. She's having a really good time over there."

Priestley -- who has appeared on some shows, including the short-lived CBS comedy Love Monkey -- said it'll take a whole new role before he goes back on camera again.

"In the last two series I've done I sort of played tertiary characters," he said. "In the next show, I need to carry the freight a little more. That's where I need to be."
