One Tree Hill Reboot Scripts Await Netflix Approval

Austin Nichols has provided an optimistic update on the One Tree Hill reboot, revealing that the project is in a "healthy place" with Netflix involved and scripts currently being developed and revised. The reboot, announced in August 2024, will be executive produced and star original cast members Hilarie Burton Morgan and Sophia Bush, focusing on their characters Brooke and Peyton as parents facing new challenges two decades after the original series ended. Nichols expressed enthusiasm about potentially returning to the show and the North Carolina filming location, noting the lasting fan excitement and the show's resurgence through streaming platforms. While Jensen Ackles confirmed the reboot is moving forward quickly, Nichols indicated that Netflix must approve the scripts before production officially begins, with hopes for a green light soon. The reboot is described as being shaped through a female lens, bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved series, though Chad Michael Murray is not expected to return. Overall, the revival is being handled by a team of original actors and experienced producers aiming to continue the legacy of the hit 2000s teen drama.
