To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the finale of the reality series “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County,” the Roku Channel will host a two-hour reunion special with the show’s original cast in 2026.
Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips, Christina Shuller, Dieter Schmitz, Jessica Smith, and Alex Hooser will all come together for the special, to talk about their time on the show.
“When I first pitched the show to my bosses at MTV, never in a million years did I think we would find such a perfect group of real friends. The show not only changed my life and the cast’s lives, but the series meant so much to a generation of fans who’ve been waiting for this,” said Liz Gateley, series creator. “To partner with Roku to reunite the cast and produce this special with Lauren, Stephen, and Kristin as executive producers 20 years later is a dream.”
Laguna Beach was a reality show that originally aired on MTV from 2004 to 2006, following the success of Fox’s scripted show The O.C. The series focused on a group of high school friends (and frenemies) as they navigated school, friendships, and relationships in the coastal setting.
“‘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,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Roku Originals, Roku Media. “Reuniting this cast two decades later is a dream, and we are delighted to give streamers a front-row seat to the nostalgia.”
The reunion special will be available to stream for free on Roku devices or TVs as well as online at TheRokuChannel.com and on iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TVs, Samsung TVs, Google TVs, and other Android TV OS devices.
