'One Tree Hill' reboot in development at Netflix with Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton set to return
View Date:2024-12-23 19:08:08
Over a decade since the final episode of "One Tree Hill" aired, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton might be headed back to where it all began.
On Friday, Deadline and Variety reported that a "One Tree Hill" sequel series is in early development at Netflix with Bush and Burton expected to reprise their roles as onscreen BFFs, Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer.
As reports emerged of the reboot, Bush and Burton posted an Instagram photo Friday evening with former co-stars Danneel Ackles (Rachel Gatina) and Bevin Prince (Bevin Mirskey), seemingly confirming the news.
"Their caption read: "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? Honor our fans? Sign us up," their caption read.
Netflix has not yet confirmed any plans for the show. USA TODAY has reached out to Netflix.

"There's only one Tree Hill, after all," Bush and Burton's posts continued. "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.'"
In the comments section of her Instagram post, Bush revealed that "it took 3 years for this to get leaked so I guess we are actually (very) good at waiting." Her comment was in response to someone commenting they couldn't wait for the "One Tree Hill" stars to hit the small screen again.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Bush and Burton for further details.

According to Variety and Deadline, Bush, Burton and Ackles will serve as executive producers on the reboot. No other cast announcements were shared, but Deadline reports that Murray − who was briefly married to Bush in 2005 − has "no plans to return for the follow-up."
Murray, who played the troubled bibliophile and basketball star Lucas Scott, has been busy filming "Freaky Friday 2" with Lindsay Lohan. The sequel is slated for a 2025 release.
Created by Mark Schwahn, "One Tree Hill" ran for nine seasons on The WB network and later its successor, the CW. The coming-of-age hit show starred Burton, Bush, Murray, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson, Antwon Tanner and Lee Norris. (In 2017, Schwahn was accused of assault and harassment by Burton and Bush.)

This isn't the first time former "One Tree Hill" cast members reunite.
Bush, Burton and Lenz have co-hosted the show's rewatch podcast "Drama Queens" and have welcomed special guests from the show, including Jana Kramer, Daphne Zuniga, Cullen Moss and Paul Johansson. Burton recently stepped down from co-hosting duties after Season 6, which marks when Peyton left Tree Hill.
"We have reached the end of my behind-the-scenes experience on the show, and so I really started to question what I brought to this, but also how we keep that storytelling alive and important," Burton said during one of her final episodes on the podcast. "And so as we head into seasons seven through nine, it was important that we introduced a new queen who could take over for me."
Robert Buckley, who joined the show in Season 7, is now hosting the podcast alongside Bush and Lenz.
