return no official word yet on whether other beloved cast members like Chad Michael Murray Luca Scott or Bethany Joy lens Haley James Scott will be joining but fingers crossed I know we're all hoping to see some familiar faces back in Tree Hill so let's take a little trip down memory lane shall we the original One Tree Hill aired for nine amazing Seasons it started on the WB and later moved to the CW becoming a massive hit and an absolute mustat for teens and young adults everywhere the show was set in the fictional town of Tree Hill North Carolina and it kicked off with the intense rivalry between half Brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott remember that Lucas was the brooding Soulful one played by Chad Michael Murray and Nathan was the Hot Shot basketball star portrayed by James laferty their relationship was the heart of the show but as the series went on it became so much more than just their story we got to dive into the lives of Brooke Payton Haley and all the other amazing characters watching them grow up fall in love face their demons and chase their dreams and let's not forget the Epic love triangles the unforgettable friendships and the family drama that kept us glued to our screens whether it was Brook's Journey from party girl to business Mogul Payton struggles with loss and finding her voice or Haley balancing her dreams of Music stardom with being a mom every character had a story that resonated with us in some way oh and who could forget the iconic soundtrack One Tree Hill was known for its incredible music and it introduced us to so many amazing artists every episode felt like a mixtape of the early 2000s now if you're like me you probably spent countless hours re-watching old episodes and maybe even listening to the drama queens podcast for those of you who don't know Sophia Bush Hillary Burton and Bethany Joy lens actually hosted a rewatch podcast where they shared behind the-scenes stories and memories from their time on the show it was such a treat to hear them talk about their experiences and what One Tree Hill meant to them Hillary Burton stepped away after they finished recapping season 6 since her character Payton left the show around that time but the podcast has continued with Robert Buckley who played clay in the later Seasons stepping in as the third host however there's one thing about the sequel that's important to mention Mark Schwan the original creator of One Tree Hill won't be involved in the new series this is actually a good thing considering the serious allegations that were made against him by Hillary Burton and several other cast and crew members they accused Schwan of assault and harassment during their time on the show and they've spoken out about their experiences in hopes of making the industry a safer place it's clear that the new One Tree Hill series is being developed with a fresh perspective and that something to be excited about so what can we expect from the sequel well details are still pretty scarce but you can bet that it's going to be packed with all the drama emotion and heart that made the original so special will Brooke and Payton's friendship be as strong as ever what's Rachel been up to all these years and could we possibly see some new faces in Tree Hill maybe even the Next Generation there's so much potential for where this story could go and I'm beyond excited to see
