“Roku invites audiences to go back, back to the beginning, with “Roku Presents: The Laguna Beach Reunion” (wt). Debuting in 2026 on The Roku Channel, the two-hour Roku Original reunion special will bring together the original cast of the groundbreaking reality series “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County” to commemorate the series’ 20th anniversary.
For the first time since 2006, Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips, Christina Shuller, Dieter Schmitz, Jessica Smith, and Alex Hooser will come together to reflect on the series that forever changed the landscape of television.

Airing in 2026, “Roku Presents: The Laguna Beach Reunion” (wt) will feature untold behind-the-scenes stories, cast reactions to episodes of the original series, and a present-day return to where it all started – Laguna Beach.
“‘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.”
“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.”
