The Hills: New Beginnings premiered in the summer of 2019 and this spring MTV released the second season of the show. As fans know, The Hills: New Beginnings is the reboot of the iconic 2000s reality television show The Hills which starred Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port, Heidi Montag, Lo Bosworth, Stephanie Pratt, and Kristin Cavallari.
While not everyone decided to come back for the reboot — those who did certainly experienced plenty of drama. Today, we're taking a look at just what the cast members of The Hills: New Beginnings have said about the show!
10 Audrina Patridge Revealed The Show Doesn't Show Her Real Life
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Audrina Patridge revealed the show doesn't actually portray her real life. Here's what Audrina said:
"I have my life on the show, and then I have my real life. I don’t feel like it’s 100% of me because I don’t have my daughter on the show and there are certain things in my life that I am not showing."
9 Heidi Montag Said She Felt Like Her And Spencer Were An Easy Target For Season Two
While Heidi Montag is no stranger to being the center of the drama — it seems that the star felt a bit overwhelmed this season. Here is what she told Entertainment Tonight:
"I feel like Speidi's on the chopping block a lot. I think there were a lot of high emotions and a lot of heightened things going on for everybody, so I think we were an easy target for a lot of people."
8 And Spencer Pratt Revealed He Thinks The Show Won't Be Renewed
In an interview with the Unpopular podcast, Spencer Pratt voiced his opinions on a potential third season of The Hills: New Beginnings. Here's what Spencer said:
"It's not getting renewed; it's not even a maybe. They won't even mess with this cast, there's no way. I think it would be like Gossip Girl with a new cast of kids. That's the only chance."
7 Justin Brescia Admitted He Prefered The Storylines In The Sequel A Lot More
Justin Brescia has always been the bad boy of the show, however, he admitted he prefers the way he was portrayed in the sequel. Here's what Justin told the Daily News:
"I love the way it was shot before. I thought that it was shot really beautifully. Did I agree with the storylines and how they made me look? No, because it wasn’t true. This time around, I think it’s shot a little bit more quick to my liking. ... But I do agree with the storylines and basically what we’re saying and doing is coming out on TV. And that little bit means more to me than some of the scenic stuff."
6 Brody Jenner Said There Was Some Talk Of The Cast Renting A House Together For Season Two
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, plenty of shows had to be put on pause. An easy way for The Hills: New Beginnings to continue shooting would have been to put the cast in a house together. However, Brody Jenner told ET Canada that he thought that was a horrible idea. Here's what Brody said:
"I wanted to keep it as authentic as possible to the original and I think The Hills was about Hollywood. Granted it was Lauren Conrad and she was working at Teen Vogue and doing all the fashion, so it’s a little different, but I just felt like going and filming in a bubble was just not ‘The Hills. I wanted to showcase what was really going on in our lives [this season]. Living in a house altogether is really not reality. None of us would ever do that in a million years. That’s a totally different show."
5 Brandon Thomas Lee Said Its Awkward To Watch His Relationship With His Ex, Daniella Beckerman
Brandon Thomas was dating Daniella Beckerman pretty much through all of season two of The Hills: New Beginning — however, the couple isn't together anymore. Here's what Brandon told ET Canada about having to relive things:
"It’s definitely hard to go through a relationship that is actually great and then for things to happen, and then to have to watch the good parts of a relationship that is over back is just weird. Usually, you try to think about like this is what happened, this was bad, let’s move on. You don’t really want to watch a highlight reel of your relationship with your ex, it’s just kind of weird."
4 Whitney Port Revealed Why She Decided To Only Be A Recurring Character For Season Two
Those who keep up with The Hills: New Beginnings have surely noticed that OG cast member Whitney port went from being a regular in season one to becoming a recurring character in season two. Here's what Whitney revealed about her choice:
"My husband and my son were just not going to be a part of the show. Obviously, for a reality show, they want to get into that. So, I wanted to be a part of the show in a way that I could, where I could be there for all these women who are dealing with different things like Heidi with infertility, and Kaitlynn [Carter] with going through the end of her relationship and Audrina with all of her relationship issues."
3 Jason Wahler Shared His Reason For Doing The Reboot
Jason Wahler revealed his personal reason for deciding to join the cast of The Hills: New Beginnings. Here's what the star said:
"10 or 12 years ago I went through a very public battle with addiction, you know, and for me to come back and be sober now, and to show what recovery looks like … it’s a great opportunity, to come back and be able to show that life in recovery is absolutely amazing and you can actually find a life that’s worth living."
2 Stephanie Pratt Said The Show Is Full Of Drama
While Stephanie Pratt — who is an OG cast member — was a main character of season one, the reality television star decided not to come back for season two. However, Stefanie did say that the reboot is full of drama — and that's probably the reason she left:
"From the first five minutes, it’s just drama. It’s really lingered over, so it’s going to be an awkward press run with everyone this week."
1 Lastly, Mischa Barton Said The First Season Was Not What She Expected
Finally, wrapping the list up is actress Mischa Barton who joined the show for the first season of the reboot. Mischa didn't return for season two as the actress didn't have a great time. Here's what she said:
