A One Tree Hill sequel series is one step closer to being made. Netflix is currently developing a follow-up to the drama, which aired for nine seasons before ending its run on The CW. Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton are set to reprise their roles from the original series, as would Daneel Ackles.
Becky Hartman Edwards will write and executive produce the potential series alongside Bush and Burton. Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles will also executive produce through their Chaos Machine banner.
Deadline revealed the following about the plot of the Netflix sequel:
The sequel is said to take place 20 years later 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, we understand.
Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Bethany Joy Lenz, Austin Nichols, Antwon Tanner, and Paul Johansson also starred in the One Tree Hill series, and some of them have been approached about appearing in the sequel. The only star that will not return for sure is Murray.
Additional details about this potential series will be revealed later.
