13 Years Later, Two Major One Tree Hill Stars Doubt Upcoming Reboot
One Tree Hill remains iconic, but the absence of its two main leads raises questions about the show's future. Like many beloved series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, One Tree Hill is rumored for a reboot, but details are scarce.
Background and Controversies
The original drama aired from 2003 to 2012 across nine seasons, with major changes occurring in the final two. Both One Tree Hill and Buffy share controversial histories regarding their creators. Buffy’s Joss Whedon faced multiple accusations of workplace harassment, while One Tree Hill’s creator Mark Schwahn was accused of sexual harassment by cast and crew members, including lead actors Hilarie Burton Morgan and Danneel Harris Ackles.
Reboot Rumors and Cast Reactions
In summer 2024, rumors about a One Tree Hill reboot surfaced but without many specifics. In a recent People interview tied to the Sexiest Man Alive feature, Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty, who portrayed brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott, expressed skepticism about returning.
"We did the show and played those characters for nine years," Lafferty said. "I’m not sure what the rest of that distance would be."
The two actors, who transitioned onscreen from rivals to close friends, admitted they struggle to envision how the series fits into today's context.
Summary
Despite fan interest and reboot trends, key actors remain uncertain about reprising their roles in One Tree Hill, casting doubt on the show's revival.
