Sitting down withPEOPLE Now, Cavallari — who starred on the original series from 2007-10 but is not participating in the revival — revealed that she got “a little tea” about the upcoming season, including which cast member is taking on the role of villain.
“I saw Audrina a few weeks ago. It’s gonna be good, so I’m excited to see it just like everybody else,” Cavallari, 32, said getting the low-down fromAudrina Patridge, who is returning to star on the revival.
But a return to the series also means a tidal wave of drama — something Patridge’s life hasn’t exactly been void of recently.
“It’s been hard on her,” Cavallari said of Patridge, who recentlyfinalized her divorcefrom ex-husband Corey Bohan. “It’s extremely dramatic and so, you know, she’s hanging in there. But yeah, it hasn’t been easy, she said.”
Cavallari said returning to filming for the cast is “like no time has passed.”
“It’s like right back to all of thatHillsdrama,” said Cavallari, who can be seen on season 2 of her own reality show, E!’sVery Cavallari.

“It’s one thing when you’re like 21, but I can’t imagine going back to that again. I think it would be hard. So I feel for Audrina. She’s a mom now,” she added of Patridge, who shares daughterKirra, 2½, with Bohan. “Your whole mentality has changed, so to be able to go back to that I think would be difficult.”
While Cavallari won’t be appearing onThe Hills, another familiar face has been cast on the show:The O.C.starMischa Barton.
“I think her and Audrina have sort of formed an alliance, which is always good to have someone in your corner,” Cavallari said. “That’s what it sounds like.”
