The rest will never be written.
According to Deadline, MTV has officially canceled The Hills: New Beginnings after two low-rated seasons.
The news should come as no surprise when you consider that the show has never been a big ratings performer for the young-skewing cabler.
A reboot of the popular reality series The Hills (2006-10), New Beginnings featured a mix of old and new cast members, but it had one big issue throughout its run:
It was boring.
Reality TV is typically filled with drama, but the drama was watered down.
Had MTV went in a drastically new direction by bringing no one from the original back, the show might have had legs to sustain storylines.
The series was in jeopardy after its first season.
MTV gave it a vote of confidence in the form of a speedy second-season pickup, but filming was delayed several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nearly 10 years after “The Hills” signed off the air, the reality phenomenon is back with “New Beginnings.” This revival brings cameras back to follow the lives of many original cast members, some of whom are married, have kids or have been divorced.
The original series, which was a spinoff of the high school hit “Laguna Beach,” followed Lauren Conrad as she graduated and moved to the hills of Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion. Later on, Kristin Cavallari headlined the series, which turned no-name teenagers into pop culture sensations whose faces were constantly plastered across tabloid magazines with rumors of plastic surgery and sex tapes while the drama unfolded on television.
Nowadays, things are different. Conrad has gone on to become a Martha Stewart of the millennial generation and a New York Times best-selling author with nine books and lucrative clothing lines, while Cavallari turned into a businesswoman with a growing empire,...

Audrina Patridge thinks Justin Brescia is always "in character". Despite dating her hunky "The Hills" co-star on-and-off for over four years, the 25-year-old beauty claims she never really got to know the real Justin because he was always playing out a different part for her and the cameras.
"I don't see him anymore, no. I saw him at the finale but that was it," Audrina, who split from Justin, who was known as Justin-Bobby on the series, for good earlier this year exclusively told Bang Showbiz. "I feel like every time I see him, he looks like somebody different. He is attractive. But it's like he's always in character."
The former couple's on/off romance was heavily featured in the MTV reality show, with their frequent break-ups and make-ups keeping fans tuning in week after week. However, Audrina says the constant camera presence put a huge strain on their relationship,...

Back before he was the slouchy philosopher dude with questionable facial hair on "The Hills" — who could forget his sage-like proclamation that "Truth and time will tell all?" — Justin Bobby was better known as Justin Brescia, hairstylist to the stars.
And back then, he counted among his clients the gentlemen of Maroon 5, who were, needless to say, rather amazed by his hairstyling abilities. Like, really amazed, as they told us earlier this month in New York. With the series finale of "The Hills" upon us, we decided to share their revelations with you now.
