The cable network has given a green light to a reality show with the working title The Hills: Next Gen. The reboot "will feature a brand new cast which is expected to be more diverse than the original," according to Deadline. "The series will follow close group of 20-something friends and aspiring entrepreneurs who are coming of age in a very different L.A. They will navigate realities of race, class, identity, addiction, family drama along with the thrills of romance and becoming self-made amidst the exclusive enclave of the hills in Malibu." The Hills reboot is in the works following the cancelation in January of The Hills: New Beginnings, which ran for two seasons starting in 2019.

Audrina Patridge on MTV's The Hills reboot with a new cast: "We were all kind of shocked" (https://people.com/tv/audrina-patridge-cant-believe-mtv-is-planning-the-hills-reboot/)

"I can't believe they're doing this, to be honest. We were all kind of shocked," Patridge said on TalkShopLive of MTV's plan to film with a whole new cast. "Especially because on The Hills: New Beginnings, we had a cast of 14 and it was actually really hard to film because there were so many people and so many things going on. So the fact that they have a new cast of 20, I don't know how they're going to do that. It's going to be a very busy show," she continued. "I'm a little bummed out about it but I guess they want a younger generation and as you get older, you have more responsibilities and you care about your image. And we're not in our twenties anymore, so I guess getting a new generation of kids makes sense 'cause they're going to be carefree and wild."
