MTV′s LAGUNA BEACH Returns For Third Season Premiering Wednesday, August 16 At 10:00 PM ET/PT
LAGUNA BEACH Season Two DVD Debuts August 8 with Exclusive Bonus Features
MTV is heading back to Orange County, California for the new season of the popular reality drama LAGUNA BEACH premiering August 16 at 10:00 PM ET/PT. It′s season three of LAGUNA BEACH and although the players are new, the game is the same - scheming high school politics of hookups, breakups, love triangles and popular cliques of seasons past.
"The second season of LAGUNA BEACH was really a sequel to the first season, it completed the story, while this season we start from scratch with all new kids, all new drama and all new stories, which is very exciting," said Tony DiSanto, Executive Producer on LAGUNA BEACH. "Of course there will be some familiar faces and places, but this season is a whole new chapter in the Laguna saga."
This year, a variety of coming of age stories that surround high school life will be revealed. A girl will find love for the first time, but will she hold onto it? Will a lifelong friendship turn into something more? Does a high school rock band have a chance at making it big? And will a girl ousted from the popular clique find her way back in?
Welcome back to Laguna Beach, CA -- where the drama continues, teen angst rules and new faces are introduced:
Tessa - While she and Chase have dated in the past, their relationship is something between friendship and maybe a little something more.
Chase - This hot lead singer of his very own rock band, "Open Air Stereo," is popular with guys and girls. He′s also a best friend and shoulder to cry on for Tessa.
Kyndra - The reigning queen bee of LB, Kyndra has it all Ð the right clothes, money to spend and the best party house. She rules the alpha-clique with best friend Cami, and Lexie.
Cami - Always ready with a biting one-liner, Cami has style, confidence and attitude, and is not afraid to say what′s on her mind. As Kyndra′s best friend, they′re all about the parties, fashion and keeping the hot guys in their court.
Raquel (aka "Rocky") - Along with her best friend Tessa, Rocky is in a clash with the popular girls in school.
Cameron - He′s a player both on and off the field. All the girls in Laguna Beach have a crush on Cameron, but will this All-American jock get in trouble with too many loves?
Kelan - He′s lead guitarist in the band with good friend Chase, but Kelan is way more serious about making it work from a business perspective.
Lexie - Training to be a professional dancer leaves her little time for all the boys who fall at her feet.
Breanna - She′s Lauren′s (LC) little sister and those are big shoes to fill.
