HANDS UP IF you remember where you were when the backdrop to Brody Jenner and Kristen Cavallari’s heart-wrenching goodbye in the final episode of MTV’s The Hills revealed itself as little more than a studio set.
Die-hard Hills fans will likely recall the world-famous Hollywood sign leaving the shot as crew members came into it, and Brody and Kristin reunited ‘on-set’ moments after a tearful farewell.
Christ, it was good.
So, after six years, six series and serious shade, it looked like the speculation had been on the nose all along; it was all scripted…. or was it?
Was this a confession on the part of the team? Or was it a double-bluff?
Either way it kept viewers guessing and nine years on from the finale, the powers that be have decided to cash in on that doubt by reinvigorating the whole shebang with a reboot.
But what should you expect from a show that brought us some of the most memorable one-liners in reality TV show history?
Well, we have it all here in a nutshell.
Who will be starring in the series?
If you’re waiting for Lauren Conrad or Kristin Cavallari to show up in the reboot, you’ll be waiting.
The series will, however, follow the latest in the lives of Heidi Pratt, Whitney Port, and Audrina Patridge.
Oh, and Brody Jenner, Stephanie Pratt, Frankie Delgado, Justin (Bobby) Brescia, and Jason Wahler also be returning to the show that made them (semi) household names.
And what’s all this talk of Mischa Barton?
Ah yes, the rumours are true. The OC star will be joining the cast of the reality TV show.
We know, we know; there’s a lot to unpack here, but let’s not forget that Mischa starred in the teen drama which ultimately gave rise to Laguna Beach; The Real OC – the reality show which preceded its spin-off The Hills.
You see; it’s all coming together.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan and her new co-stars this week, the 33-year-old actress said she believes fate played a role in the whole thing.
It’s weird because I remember going out with Nicole Richie and people at the time, and we would come by set when they were filming The Hills. She would drag me to the producer van to see what you guys had been up to all day.
“All these years later…it sounds corny, but it felt like this was supposed to happen,” she reasoned.
So, when will it air?
It was originally scheduled to premiere in April, but it sounds like we’re going to have to wait a little longer.
The latest tidbit says that the series will be launched in the summer.
How is Twitter reacting to it?
Oh, they’re ready; born ready.
