In June 2013, Conrad, 30, spoke with Us Weekly about how filming the docuseries (loosely inspired by Fox’s mid-aughts drama The O.C.) created a special bond among Laguna Beach High School’s 2004 graduates.

“I was out to dinner last night with Trey Phillips, who I did [Laguna Beach] with, and we were talking about how it was such a unique time. It was before reality TV had become what it was today,” the California native told Us. “There was an innocence to it because none of us were doing it to get any deals or other ventures — we were just all friends and it sounded cool so we did it. We didn’t know what we were really doing, so I think it was this very interesting time where people didn’t have ulterior motives. We were just filming a documentary.”
