However, it was canceled after its inaugural season after receiving underwhelming ratings.

In 2009, Conrad left The Hills to pursue other career opportunities and was replaced by Jenner's ex-girlfriend, Kristin Cavallari. Their rekindled relationship became the central focus of the series until its conclusion the following year. In 2013, Jenner returned to reality television after appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians during its eighth season, which features Caitlyn; his stepmother, Kris Jenner; his stepsiblings, Kourtney, Kim, Khlo, and Rob Kardashian; and his half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
