Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? The iconic cast of Laguna Beach is back together for a reunion that’s got everyone buzzing! Nearly 22 years after they first graced our screens, the stars of this reality TV classic are reuniting for The Reunion: Laguna Beach, set to premiere on April 10, 2026, exclusively on Roku. Talk about a throwback!
At a recent premiere event held at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California, original cast members including Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, and Stephen Colletti shared their excitement about coming together. “We’ve had a lot of events recently,” Conrad said, reminiscing about their high school reunion that sparked the idea for this special gathering. “It started the conversation of, like, should we all get together as a group, which we haven’t done, and kind of reflect on this show, celebrate what it meant and talk about the fact that a lot of us are still really good friends?”
And what a reunion it’s shaping up to be! Cavallari chimed in, noting that despite their past on-screen rivalry, she and Conrad have found common ground as adults. “We actually have a lot more in common than I think I thought,” she admitted. “I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Lauren at this stage in life. So much has happened. We’re moms, we’re businesswomen, there’s just a lot in common.” Can you say #FriendshipGoals?
Of course, the reunion wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the infamous love triangle that had fans glued to their screens. The trailer hints at a heartfelt conversation between Cavallari and Conrad about how the show framed their relationship, proving that time really does heal all wounds. “I really walked away from that in particular being like, ‘OK, I really got to know Lauren,'” Cavallari reflected.
As the cast members have grown up, they’ve also embraced parenthood. Colletti, who recently tied the knot and is expecting his first child, shared how he’s been taking notes from his fellow castmates on parenting. “I’m always taking notes, and it’s interesting,” he said. “My wife and I, we’re ready. We’re so excited.”
But not everyone is keen on their kids following in their reality TV footsteps. Cavallari expressed her desire to keep her children out of the spotlight for now, saying, “I want to just keep my kids kids. I think when they turn 18, if they want to move to LA and pursue entertainment, that’s one thing. But it’s hard enough being a kid.” Wise words from a reality TV veteran!
As we gear up for this nostalgic reunion, it’s clear that the cast of Laguna Beach has come a long way since their teenage years. From navigating love triangles to navigating parenthood, these stars are ready to share their journeys with us once again. So, mark your calendars for April 10, 2026, because this is one reunion you won’t want to miss!
