Two new hotties are stopping by America's most famous zip code this fall!

Hart of Dixie's Wes Brown and soap actor Trai Byers are set to appear on 90210 when it returns for its fifth season in October, and from what we've learned, it sounds like they'll be stirring up some professional drama for two members of the West Bev gang...and giving off major Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling vibes! Can you say heaven?!

So who are the two actors playing? And which fan favorite character should start watching his back? 

Brown, who Hart of Dixie fans will recognize as Rachel Bilson's vet beau Judson, and Byers are both set to recur on the CW sudser and will make their first appearance in the season five premiere.

Brown will play hot club promoter Taylor, who is irresistible to women and uses his charm, determination and wit to get what he wants, just like Gosling's playboy character in Crazy, Stupid, Love. Taylor is very focused on his career and has a great eye for new talent when it comes to music, which will have him spending some quality time with Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes).

Days of Our Lives alum Byers is set to take on the role of Alec, a hot Ivy League-educated "tech" guy (the show compares the role to Timberlake's sleazily awesome turn as Sean Parker in The Social Network), who is Max's (Josh Zuckerman) business partner. While charming and attractive, Alec has no time for his personal relationships as he's way too focused on his business. Our gang may want to stay clear of Alec as he'll stop at nothing to protect what he considers his. Watch out, Max!

In addition to Hart of Dixie, Brown has also made appearances on Desperate Housewives, Scandal, Private Practice and True Blood.

The fifth season of 90210 will premiere Monday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m.
