Brooke and Peyton are back! One Tree Hill sequel series in the works at Netflix

As a hardcore One Tree Hill fan who grew up with Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, this news has me jumping for joy! After countless rewatches and heart-to-hearts with my fellow Drama Queens, it feels like we’ve been waiting for this moment forever.

Heading back to the familiar grounds of Tree Hill, it appears! Nearly 10 years since the beloved teen drama wrapped up its nine-season run in 2012, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan are rumored to be returning for a potential sequel series. The project is said to be underway at Netflix as of now.

As reported by Deadline, the prospective series may also see executive production from writer Becky Hartman Edwards, who has previous experience collaborating with Netflix on “Firefly Lane.” Additionally, Warner Bros. TV and the Ackles’ production company Chaos Machine, led by Jensen and Danneel Ackles, are also involved in the project. Notably, creator Mark Schwahn is not mentioned as being part of this upcoming series.

Over time, with remakes and returns of old TV hits staying trendy, there’s been talk about creating a new series set in the universe of One Tree Hill. The show still attracts viewers on streaming platforms, and it inspired the successful rewatch podcast Drama Queens, where Bush, Burton Morgan, and Bethany Joy Lenz discuss each episode.

What to know about the One Tree Hill revival so far

As of now, only Danneel Ackles is said to be discussing her return to play Rachel Gatina. Other original cast members like Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan, as well as Chad Michael Murray (who played Lucas Scott for six seasons), have not been confirmed to reprise their roles at this point, according to recent reports. It’s worth noting that Murray and Bush were once married from 2005-2006 during the show’s heyday.

As I sit here on August 30th, there’s no official word yet from Warner Bros. TV or Netflix about the plot of the upcoming series. However, Deadline hints that it might delve into themes and scenarios reminiscent of Brooke and Peyton‘s teenage years, but this time as they navigate their lives as mothers to new teenagers.

It remains uncertain if characters from Tree Hill will return for the potential sequel series, and if so, what state their marriages may be in after 20 years. If actor Murray decides not to reprise his role as Lucas, this could imply a separation or, unfortunately, his character’s demise. Fans of One Tree Hill will be eager to know the status of Brooke and Julian’s relationship as well, as there are numerous questions left unanswered for fans to fully grasp the storyline of this new series.

Recently, it’s become clear that there have been some challenges within the One Tree Hill universe, with fans noticing a rumored disagreement among the trio of hosts from the Drama Queens podcast before Burton Morgan stepped down and was replaced by Robert Buckley. As the revival progresses in the coming weeks and months, expect lively conversations within the enthusiastic fanbase.

In a series as popular and lengthy (nearing 200 episodes!) as One Tree Hill, it’s safe to assume there are numerous viewpoints on whether Brooke and Peyton might reappear in a revival. The potential characters that could visit or permanently return is vast. The creative team has a wealth of ideas at their disposal, and fans will be eager for all the nostalgic references and guest appearances!

Regardless of anything, it’s guaranteed to be a heartfelt and insightful examination of sisterhood, motherhood, contemporary teenagers, and the deep emotional aspects of human life that OTH is famous for. There couldn’t be a more fitting pair to revive this iconic TV series from the past generation than Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan, and we can hardly wait to see what they are planning.
