Calling all One Tree Hill fans! Get ready to return to Tree Hill as the show is set to come back with a sequel featuring original stars Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton, and Danneel Ackles.
The 2003 teen drama series, which also starred Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson, and others, became a phenomenon by telling the story of half-brothers Nathan (played by Lafferty) and Lucas Scott (played by Murray), who share a love for basketball but harbor animosity due to family conflicts. As the storyline unfolds, viewers witness their evolving relationship and the drama among their high school friends.
According to Variety, Sophia, Hilarie, and Danneel will serve as executive producers for the upcoming reboot. Sophia, 42, took to Instagram to share two posts: the first featuring herself with her OTH co-stars, 42-year-old Hilarie, 45-year-old Danneel, and Bevin Prince, and the second a gif of her iconic character, Brooke Davis, saying, “Why? ‘Cause I love you.” She captioned it with: “What if you really can go back home? If there’s an opportunity to team with brilliant creatives and build a space where all our friends can show off their talents, own our history, reclaim our turf, and honor our fans? Sign us up.”
With Chappell Roan’s “Femininomenon” playing in the background, she continued, “There’s only one Tree Hill, after all. And you — the #OTHfam — have shown us that it’s not just an idea. It really is the place where ‘everything’s better and everything’s safe.’”
Fans expressed their excitement in the comments. “Return to OTH, happening? I so wanna hear ‘Previously on One Tree Hill,’” one user wrote.
“BEST NEWS EVER!!!!” another added.
