We’ve know that as time goes on, we’d hear more about the One Tree Hill reboot from members of the original shows cast. It can’t be easy to figure out what to say – to tow a line. One Tree Hill fans are ravenous and want more, but don’t want to be led astray. We want to know if you’ll be involved or if you won’t.
Former One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray has been doing press for his Netflix movie, Merry Gentleman, and was asked about the reboot. Though he may be supportive of it, he didn’t say if he’d be a part of it.
“I really want some iteration of this show to come back for the fans,” he said to Deadline. “I’ll tell you, whatever iteration of the show comes forward, I want that for the fans. There’s such a brotherhood and a bond between so many people all around the world with us. I’m grateful for that.”
Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush are set to reprise their roles at Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis. The show is being written by Becky Hartman Edwards and she will executive produce. Warner Bros. TV is also working on the reboot. Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles also executive produce through their Chaos Machine banner.
We just don’t want to see Mark Schwan working on the project or earning a dollar from it, but all reports say that he won’t be.
The reboot is said to focus on Brooke and Peyton who are now parents to teens. They are facing challenges such as “love, insecurities and grief.”
If you aren’t familiar with the original series – you need to do yourself a favor and watch it immediately. It focused on two half brothers, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty). It was about the way that they navigated their lives through highschool and beyond. It’s a coming of age story that helped everyone who watched it navigate their lives.
The show was anchored by its supporting cast, Burton, Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz, Austin Nichols, Jana Kramer, Stephen Colletti, Antwon Tanner and Paul Johansson.
The chances of One Tree Hill coming back means everything to its fans. This one included.
