The Hills returns March 30 with its fifth campaign.

Will the MTV mainstay return for another season beyond that?

We know that Lauren Conrad, the show's protagonist, will not. Could the faux reality show possibly continue in her absence, focusing merely on the ancillary SoCal peeps?

Spencer Pratt would totally be down, but it's very much up in the air. One thing's for sure, though, says creator Adam DiVello: The trailer for the new season (below) showing an LC-Heidi reunion is misleading, in large part because of the lingering presence of Spencer.

Ridiculous as it seems that there are "spoilers" for a reality show, you remember what happened with The Bachelor, right? Those were totally right, and wildly controversial!

So peep the trailer again below for a preview of what's to come when the show returns March 30, then follow the link for all The Hills spoilers and news you can handle ...
