So, in celebration of what's about to be the cultural event of the summer, here's what the original cast are up to now — and who's taking part in the revival...
Lauren Conrad

Known for: Being the girl who didn't go to Paris.
Is she coming back for the reboot? Nope! Lauren is steering clear of reality TV, instead focusing on her family and her lifestyle brand, LC Lauren Conrad. According to People, Lauren is "in a different place in her life" but "wishes everyone the best" with the revival.
Heidi Montag

Known for: What she did!!! (I'm still not sure what she did.)
Is she coming back for the reboot? Yes! And thank god, because Heidi was the bringer of some of the original's best drama. Heidi recently told Vogue she feels she and her husband Spencer are more "integrated with the rest of the cast" than they were in The Hills.
Audrina Patridge

Known for: Being the edgy one (because she had brown hair).
Is she coming back for the reboot? Yes! Audrina's joining the revival as a mom to her two-year-old daughter, Kirra. She says the new show is "older, a little sexier, and more adult".
Whitney Port

Known for: Being The Hills' true fashion queen.
Is she coming back for the reboot? Yes! Whitney joins Heidi and Audrina as one of the three main original cast members returning for the revival. She recently said she feels people don't take her seriously in her fashion career because they only know her from a reality show.
Kristin Cavallari

Known for: Her super-dramatic entrance into Spencer and Heidi's wedding.
Is she coming back for the reboot? Nope! She's currently starring in her own reality show, Very Cavallari, on E!, and therefore couldn't join New Beginnings. Kristin told US Weekly just a few days ago that she wishes she could have been on the show, and she hopes she can make a cameo.
Stephanie Pratt

Known for: Being Spencer's sister.
Is she coming back for the reboot? Yes! The whole Pratt gang is getting back together. In fact, Stephanie and her brother Spencer didn't speak for years — because of her friendship with Lauren. She credits the revival for helping them work things out, calling it "a miracle".
Lo Bosworth

Known for: Being Lauren's friend.
Is she coming back for the reboot? Nope! When asked about the show, Lo said it was "just not worth it" to let someone else have creative control over the way she's portrayed to the public. "I am an advocate for women. I’m a feminist. To not be able to be in control of my own narrative is just way too risky for me at this point," she said.
Brody Jenner

Known for: Let's be honest — his extremely famous half-siblings.
Is he coming back for the reboot? Yep! Not only is Brody coming back to The Hills, he's bringing along his wife, Kaitlynn Carter Jenner, who says she watched the original religiously.
Spencer Pratt

Known for: In the '00s, being kind of wild. Now, hummingbirds.
Is he coming back for the reboot? Yep! Of course he is. Heidi's in, Spencer's in — along with their one-year-old son, Gunner.

Known for: Wearing combat boots to the beach.
Is he coming back for the reboot? Yep! It doesn't look like he's going to be a romantic interest for Audrina this time, though.

Known for: Being the reason Lauren didn't go to Paris.
Is he coming back for the reboot? Yep! Jason is making a comeback from being the bad boy of 2006, and like Brody, he's bringing a new cast member with him — his wife, Ashley, who's a hairdresser, lifestyle blogger, and mom to one-year-old Delilah.
With or without LC, this is going to be iconic. And we only have a couple more months to wait!
