The actor – who starred as Brandon Walsh in the hugely popular US series from 1990 to 2000 – would definitely consider appearing in the programme, but is yet to be approached by producers.

He said: “They haven’t contacted me about doing anything yet. But if it’s the right thing, I’m certainly open to it. I loved working on that show. I loved everything I did on it. I had so many different jobs, it was great.”

Jason – who has since starred in US TV shows Without a Trace and Medium – also revealed he isn’t prepared to appear on US TV talent show Dancing with the Stars.

The actor, who is a budding racing driver, said: “Racing is much more my thing. Also, since I had my big crash back in 2002, I probably wouldn’t be able to put on those crazy shoes that you have to wear. I’m not a dancer!”

The pilot of the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off – which is expected to focus on the new principal of West Beverly High School, who moves his family of four from Kansas to California – is being written by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas.

Other original stars expected to return include, Tori Spelling, Luke Perry and Shannon Doherty.
