The Top Chef Junior host, 38, shared a hilarious GIF of herself popping up behind a network promo photo of the show’s original stars Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea Zuckerman), Tori Spelling (Donna Martin), Brian Austin Green (David Silver), Jason Priestley (Brandon Walsh), Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh), Jennie Garth (Kelly Taylor) and Ian Ziering (Steve Sanders). The image was set to the tune of the series’ theme song.

“My NEW JOB has a pretty iconic zip code!!!” she gushed on Instagram on Friday, May 31. “I am still pinching myself that I get to join this incredible cast & play Jason Priestley’s wife. This show was EVERYTHING to me in the 90’s! Now excuse me while I continue doing my happy dance while rockin’ out to this song!!!”

Deadline reports that the former MTV VJ will play Priestley’s fictional spouse and a top PR executive named Camille. According to the outlet, viewers will follow along with Camille’s struggles with work/life balance as she and the Private Eyes star, 49, attempt to start a family.

The reboot, which will see the 90210 crew playing “heightened versions of themselves,” is introducing faux families for its real-life actors. “We’re fictionalizing everybody’s home lives to a certain degree,” Garth, 47, told Entertainment Weekly earlier this month.

The actress also gave Us Weekly some further insight as to the show’s premise. “In general, it’s a show about the people making the show,” she told Us earlier this month. “So you will get to see how … life imitates art. … We’re just digging into that. We’re having a lot of fun … taking an image that public has of us or might have of us… and messing with it, playing with it.”

BH90210 will premiere on Fox Wednesday, August 7, at 9 p.m. ET.
