Jason Priestley is bringing Brandon back to TV—just not in the 90210.

While he's slated to direct the 18th episode of the CW's spinoff of his former show, he's not set to appear with former Peach Pitters Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty.

Instead, Priestley is headed over to the other side of the tracks for a guest appearance on an upcoming segment of NBC's hit My Name Is Earl, playing—would you believe—a guy named Brandon.

"His character, coincidentally named Brandon, is Earl's successful, good-looking cousin," a publicist for the Peacock told E! News.

No word when the episode will air.
