The Reason MTV Canceled Laguna Beach After Only Three Seasons

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

After two seasons of "Laguna Beach," all of the original cast members had graduated from high school and moved on. Some went to college, others tried their luck by moving to Los Angeles. This is when "The Hills" was born. The show followed Lauren Conrad and her best friend Heidi Montag as they lived and worked in L.A. During its run, the series also featured Brody Jenner, Jason Wahler, Audrina Patridge, and others. 

Meanwhile, MTV attempted to continue with another season of "Laguna Beach." The show shifted to a new group of teenagers, including Tessa Keller, Kyndra Mayo, Chase Johnson, Cameron "Cami" Edwards, and even Lauren Conrad's younger sister, Breanna Conrad (via Orange County Register). However, the third season of the series didn't live up to the first two seasons. With ratings down, MTV pulled the plug on the series halfway through filming for Season 4, according to Daily Pilot

The network later moved the show to a new location with new people for the spin-off "Newport Harbor," but that series only lasted for 12 episodes.
