Sophia Bush Confirms ‘One Tree Hill’ Reboot Talks With Original Cast

Sophia Bush has shared exciting news about the potential return to Tree Hill, revealing that the original cast of ‘One Tree Hill’ has been discussing ideas for their characters’ current lives.

In an interview with Dexerto while promoting her new Tubi movie ‘Summer’s Last Resort’, Bush talked about the early conversations regarding a possible revival of the beloved teen drama. She noted that these discussions began with the show’s main cast and later expanded to include others associated with the series.

“I think something that’s been cool about even exploring it – obviously we started with conversations with the core five and spread outward from there – was just hearing what everyone thinks they’d be doing, because when you’ve had something be a part of your life for 20 years, you can’t help but have ideas about it,” Bush told Dexerto.

‘One Tree Hill’ originally debuted in 2003 on The WB before transitioning to The CW, where it ran until 2012. The series chronicled the lives of five main characters in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, including Brooke Davis, portrayed by Bush, alongside Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, Peyton Sawyer, and Haley James Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Hilarie Burton Morgan, and Bethany Joy Lenz.

Bush’s character, Brooke, began as a confident and popular high school cheerleader and evolved into a successful fashion entrepreneur. When discussing a potential revival, the actress expressed her enjoyment in hearing various ideas about what each character’s future might entail.

Bush also touched on her connection to comedy and her desire to explore that aspect of herself again. “I started my career as a comedian, and to be getting back into the comedy space, it just brings me so much joy, you know?” she shared.

During the conversation, ‘Summer’s Last Resort’ co-star Jerry O’Connell humorously speculated on what Brooke’s life could look like in a new version of ‘One Tree Hill’. This led to a funny idea of Brooke becoming a stand-up comedian, which Bush admitted would be an unexpected turn for the character.

“Oh, my goodness. I don’t know that I could imagine her doing stand-up, but it does give me something to think about,” Bush remarked.

O’Connell then joked about the possibility of a Brooke Davis comedy special being released alongside the reboot. Bush laughed at the suggestion but felt it might be too unconventional for the character.

“Oh my God. It’s too far. That actually reads sci-fi to me. Like we’ve woken up in another dimension. And everyone’s doing like a different thing that makes no sense,” she added.

While Netflix has been linked to discussions about a possible ‘One Tree Hill’ revival, no official details regarding the project have been confirmed yet. Currently, there is no announcement about the cast, storyline, or release date.

For now, fans of Sophia Bush can catch her in ‘Summer’s Last Resort’, available for streaming on Tubi. Meanwhile, ‘One Tree Hill’ enthusiasts continue to await news on whether they will get another opportunity to revisit Tree Hill and discover what has become of their favorite characters.
