We’re just days away from the debut of The Hills: New Beginnings, and the drama is already starting to boil over.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag will be among the familiar faces, and Pratt’s own sister, returning star Stephanie Pratt is already putting the couple on blast.

In a brand new teaser interview for The Hills‘ hotly anticipated reboot, Spencer and Heidi respond to Stephanie’s aspersions, and promise More Drama is on the way!

Speidi showed up to The Hills: New Beginnings premier event on Wednesday, where they were interviewed by E! News’ Justin Sylvester.

Justin begins the interview by asking what the couple has been up to, and if the nine years since The Hills ended had been difficult for them.

That’s a great question since, as Stephanie’s podcast reminds us, the couple has been through some trying times in recent years.

But Heidi is quick to downplay that drama, saying that their hardest years were actually caught on camera during the original run of The Hills.

"That was a really challenging time in our relationship, when our friends were trying to tear us apart," Heidi explains.

According to Heidi, after The Hills, the couple finally got to relax and enjoy life, while Spencer attended USC to get his political science degree.

Next, Justin shifts the focus to Spencer, and his history of being vindictive on the show.

"I feel like you can hold a grudge," the host suggests.

"Yeah, my burn diary is out," Spencer admits, adding that he has a "hit list" of people he still has beef with.

Spencer even jokingly spoils the title of the first episode, "I Don’t Hold Grudges… JK!!" 

We hope he’s kidding, because that’s a terrible title. But it’s crystal clear that Spencer still relishes the conflict he’s known for — and the screen time that goes with it!

Justin went on to ask Spencer who was the first name on his "hit list" going into the new season.

"Everyone. No one was safe," Spencer replies, looking very pleased with himself.

If that’s the case, some of that grudge must be aimed at his sister Stephanie, who will be returning to star in the reboot as well.

But when pressed on the issue, Spencer suddenly becomes quite diplomatic.

"I have no beef with any family member," he assures Justin, adding that "It’s totally one-sided."

Of course, just because the beef is one-sided doesn’t mean Spencer doesn’t deserve Stephanie’s ire. 

Spencer definitely did a lot of the awful things his sister is mad about, but probably just doesn’t care enough to feel any kind of way about it. 

He certainly doesn’t address any of their specific issues in the interview, saying it all took place off camera.

But when asked if Stephanie was just making the fight up to generate more interest in the series, he simply said "I think Stephanie is a great asset to the show."

That’s a suspiciously coy response, coming from someone who’s usually embarrassingly forthcoming.

Spencer puts his foot in his mouth just a moment later in fact, after unwittingly accusing co-star Brody Jenner of cheating on his wife!

While hijacking a question clearly posed to Heidi, Spencer proclaims that Brandon Lee is sure to be the new breakout star of the show.

Heidi agrees he’s quite the heartbreaker, calling Brandon the "evolution" of Brody’s portrayal on the original series.

But then Justin asks which of the two celebs had more game with the ladies.

"Brody Jenner is still the biggest mack on The Hills," Spencer replies, definitively. 

"You think Brody Jenner is pulling more girls than Brandon Lee," the interviewer follows up incredulously.

"Yes. Currently," Spencer responds.

What follows is a beautiful, stunned moment of silence as Justin looks at the camera and Spencer slowly realises what he’s said.

"Oh, oh wait, he’s married. Never mind!" Spencer hastily corrects himself.

Not wanting to touch that, Justin shifts the focus back to Heidi, who tries to smooth over her husband’s problematic candor.

"If you don’t want the truth out there, you should be scared," she concludes, much to Spencer’s delight.

We definitely want the truth out there!

The interview wound down with a look ahead for Speidi’s role this season. 

We can expect Heidi’s arc to deal with being a mom and facing her seperation anxiety from her one-year-old son, who is seriously named Gunner.

The season will also feature Spencer running his healing crystal jewely business, Pratt Daddy Crystals. Yikes.

If New Beginnings is as awkward and high-energy as this interview was, we have a lot to look forward to when the series debuts next week.
