It’s time to journey back to Tree Hill in North Carolina. A sequel series to the hit TV show One Tree Hill is in the works at Netflix, according to multiple outlets. The reboot of the beloved teen drama will be executive produced by three of the show’s stars: Sophia Bush (who played Brooke Davis), Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer) and Danneel Ackles (Rachel Scott), per Variety .
Sophia and Hilarie are reportedly confirmed to reprise their roles, while Daneel is in talks to do so, per Deadline . In addition to the returning cast, Daneel’s husband and Supernatural alum Jensen Ackles will join his wife as an executive producer through their production company Chaos Machine . Becky Hartman-Edwards —known for writing and producing shows like Firefly Lane , Parenthood and In Living Color —is set to write and executive produce the upcoming series, according to Variety .
“The sequel is said to take place 20 years later,” according to Deadline , “following best friends Brooke and Peyton who are now parents to teens and facing challenges not unfamiliar to what they tackled in the original series like love, insecurities and grief.” One Tree Hill premiered in 2003 and ran for nine seasons before the series finale in 2012. The CW drama made household names out of the show’s cast, including Chad Michael Murray ( who married Sophia in 2005 and divorced the following year), though he has no plans to return for the sequel, per Deadline .
