Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County is an American reality television series that originally aired on MTV from September 28, 2004 until November 15, 2006. The series aired for three seasons and was primarily focused on the personal lives of several students attending Laguna Beach High School. Its premise was originated with Liz Gateley, while Tony DiSanto served as the executive producer.
The series was originally narrated by Lauren Conrad as she completed her senior year of high school. It additionally placed emphasis on her classmates Lo Bosworth, Stephen Colletti, Morgan Olsen, Trey Phillips, Christina Schuller, and juniors Kristin Cavallari and Talan Torriero. The second season was narrated by Cavallari, and saw the additions of Taylor Cole, Alex Murrel, Jessica Smith, and Jason Wahler. Upon its conclusion, all cast members departed from the series and were replaced by a group of current students. The third season was narrated by Tessa Keller, and also showcased Cameron Brinkman, Breanna Conrad, Lexie Contursi, Raquel Donatelli, Cami Edwards, Kelan Hurley, Chase Johnson, and Kyndra Mayo.
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County received moderately favorable reviews from critics, and has been recognized as a "guilty pleasure" by several media outlets. However, the series was often criticized for tending towards a narrative format more commonly seen in scripted genres including soap operas, and appearing to fabricate much of its storyline. The show has produced several spin-offs, most notably The Hills, which chronicled Lauren Conrad's personal and professional life after moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the fashion industry. The first two seasons of Laguna Beach were released on DVD; the third season was only available in Australia and the UK.
