Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Are Filming a New Reality Show Amid His Mayoral Campaign
Spencer Pratt‘s run for mayor of Los Angeles is getting the reality TV treatment — and the cameras won’t stop rolling if he wins.
As In Touch previously reported, Pratt is confident he has a shot of winning the election. Now, TMZ reported on Thursday, May 14, that Pratt, 42, has signed a contract with a Los Angeles production company to document his campaign for mayor.
A production crew has already been filming the reality star, his wife Heidi Montag, 39, and their two sons — Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3 — throughout his political journey.
What makes the deal especially notable, according to the report, is what happens if he actually wins. Sources told the outlet that the contract specifically allows filming to continue inside the mayor’s office if Pratt is sworn in. Should that happen, the family would presumably move into the mayor’s official residence in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The family remains displaced in the aftermath of the devastating Palisades Fire, which destroyed their $2.5 million home in January 2025. The father-of-two has been spending most of his time in the city, per TMZ, as he campaigns ahead of the Tuesday, June 2 primary, where he is challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman.
The potential return to unscripted television would mark a full-circle moment for the couple, who first became household names on MTV’s The Hills. The reality series, which premiered in 2006 and followed young adults navigating life in Southern California, catapulted Pratt and Montag into fame after he joined the cast in 2007. The pair went on to appear on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother, and The Hills: New Beginnings, among other programs.
In the wake of the fires, Pratt reemerged as a prominent voice on social media, using TikTok to document the disaster’s damage. His viral posts ultimately laid the groundwork for his January 2026 campaign announcement, made on the one-year anniversary of the blaze, per the Los Angeles Times.
Whether Los Angeles voters are ready to hand their city’s keys to a former reality TV villain remains to be seen — but if nothing else, the cameras will be watching.
