The Hills: New Beginnings found itself ending pretty quickly, after it was announced earlier this year that it had been axed after just two seasons.
While fans might have been upset by that, Brody Jenner has admitted to being happy, "stoked" in fact, when he heard the news.
"To be honest, yeah," he told People. "It just wasn't the same experience. It was very stressful. There was a lot of manipulation involved. It was just a lot.

"What I was sold on, on the show in general, was not what they were producing. They had told us in the beginning that, 'Hey, we're going to do a new Hills, and we want you guys to be on, but we're going to hire a new, younger cast.' ...I was like, 'Oh, that's great.' They're going to hire a new, younger cast, 'You guys will come in as the OGs. It's not going to be focused and centered around you guys.'"
He stated that, since the show didn't introduce a younger cast, it put "so much pressure" on the originals to provide storylines when they weren't the people they were before.
"I'm like, 'Dude, I'm f**king 37 years old. I don't go out to nightclubs every night and go hunting for chicks in nightclubs. That's just not me anymore,'" he said.
"We needed a younger cast to be on there. I didn't mind coming in and out and filming and living our authentic lives of where we were at, at that moment, but everything else felt very forced and pushed."
MTV announced that it is rebooting The Hills yet again, this time indeed focusing on an entirely new, younger and more diverse cast, titled The Hills: Next Gen.
