Everything old is new again, and that includes The Hills. ICYMI, the show that made healing crystals a ~thing~ (talk about being ahead of its time) is officially back in action. The Hills: New Beginnings is premiering tonight, June 24, on MTV.
Lauren Conrad might be MIA for this new reboot (she's too busy dropping clothing lines and having the best Instagram in the game), but don’t worry, the show will still have plenty of familiar faces. Heidi, Spencer, Audrina, Whitney, Brody, Justin, Jason, and Frankie will all be back. This time around, there will also be new additions for you to stan: Mischa Barton (yes, from The O.C.) and Brandon Thomas Lee (Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s son) will both be joining the cast. It's allegedly unscripted, so get ready for tons of juicy gossip.
If you don’t have cable (it's 2019, who does?), there’s no need to repeat LC’s iconic mascara tear moment just yet. Here's how you can tune in to the drama:
MTV.com to the rescue:
Because MTV loves you and wants you to be happy, every episode will be available to stream for free on MTV.com.
You do typically need a cable login to watch the show, but no biggie. Just ask anyone you know who has cable if they can share their deets. Chances are, someone in your group chat is willing to share their cable login for the greater good.
If absolutely no one will help you out, deep breaths. MTV will also let you use a one-time 24-hour viewing pass. You can register for this pass with your Facebook account, or you can use an email address (life hack: multiple email addresses = multiple free episodes of The Hills).
Next up, Amazon Prime can hook you up (for a price):
No cable login, no problem: MTV and Amazon go hand in hand these days, so you can stream tons of MTV shows through Prime Video, including The Hills: New Beginnings! You can buy each episode separately for $1.99, or spring for the whole season for $14.99. I mean, this kind of drama is worth every penny.
Or you can give Philo a spin:
Philo is a live streaming service that works as an alternative to cable (sign me up immediately). It also has unlimited recording, so you'll be able to replay the juiciest moments over and over. You can get Philo for $20 per month, but if that's a little rough on your wallet, you can try a free seven-day trial. As someone who has forgotten to cancel one too many free trials before they hit my bank account, I recommend setting a reminder (or three) to cancel before the week is up.
Re-watch the original:
Since it's officially been 13 years since The Hills was on TV (wow, I'm old) it's only natural that you might need a teeny refresher on the original series. Luckily, Amazon Prime Video's got you covered: You can stream all six seasons of the show on the platform.
In the meantime, you can still apply plenty of the life lessons we learned from the original series. Most importantly, never choose a man over Paris, and never, under any circumstance, wear combat boots to the beach.
