The Reunion: Laguna Beach has an official premiere date of April 10, with the OG cast of MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County set to reunite and take a walk down memory lane together.
The cast, including Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips, Christina Shuller, Dieter Schmitz, Jessica Smith, and Alex Hooser, will come back to look back on the series that changed their lives and brought the term “my car is DUNZO!” into the zeitgeist.
The special will include untold, behind-the-scenes stories and cast reactions to episodes of the show, which originally ran from 2004 to 2006 on MTV.
The show was famously inspired by The OC, the show that made Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, Ben McKenzie and Mischa Barton household names.
Laguna Beach also inspired spin-offs The Hills and The City.
The Hills, of course, is where Lauren famously went from being ‘the girl from Laguna Beach‘ to “the girl who didn’t go to Paris”.
(Remember, ladies: never choose a man over Paris!)
Brian Tannenbaum, head of Roku Originals, told The Hollywood Reporter, “Laguna Beach wasn’t just a television series; it defined a generation of pop culture and paved the way for the reality genre as we know it.
“Reuniting this cast two decades later is a dream, and we are delighted to give streamers a front-row seat to the nostalgia.”
Where can Australians watch the Laguna Beach reunion?
OK, now here comes the sad news…
The reunion special will be airing on Roku, a US-specific channel, so Aussies can’t tune in unless they have a VPN and a US-based Roku account.
In Australia, you might have heard of Roku devices that allow you to stream apps like Netflix on your TV, but we don’t have access to region-specific content licensing.
Currently, you can stream Laguna Beach on Paramount+ in Australia, so there may be a licensing deal with them or another streamer in the future if we’re lucky!
I guess now is the perfect time to go back, back to the beginning…
