A familiar face from the early 2000s reality television scene is set for a return to the screen. Lauren Conrad, who rose to fame on MTV’s “Laguna Beach,” will join her former castmates for a reunion special scheduled to premiere on The Roku Channel in 2026.
Since departing from reality television over a decade ago, Conrad has built a multifaceted career while prioritizing her private family life. After her initial studies, she transitioned into the fashion industry, leveraging her profile to launch successful clothing lines and a children’s brand. Beyond design, she is also a published author of several novels.
In recent years, Conrad has consciously stepped back from the public eye. She has spoken about valuing her privacy and has structured her life around her family, describing her role as a mother as her primary focus. Her husband is noted as an active partner in both parenting and managing their shared responsibilities, allowing Conrad to balance her business ventures with family time.
The decision to participate in the upcoming reunion special marks a notable exception to her low-profile stance. The special, executive produced by Conrad and several of her original co-stars, aims to revisit the cultural impact of the series two decades after its debut. The show’s creator has expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the enduring connection fans have with the original program.
The special is currently in production and is expected to air in 2026.
