Will there be a 'One Tree Hill' revival? Sophia Bush says 'never say never'

One Tree Hill fans will have their thirst for a revival semi-quenched when Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz's iHeartRadio podcast Drama Queens drops Monday (June 21).

But will there ever be a true reboot?

"I can't spill all of our secrets," Bush told Entertainment Tonight, "but I'd say never say never."

That's not a no!

Bush remained coyly tight-lipped when asked if there are specific discussions behind a possible reboot but did concede that she and others within the OTH orbit "have been approached."

"It's always so hectic," she added. "I mean, there were, like, a million of us on our show. It's complicated."

The cult classic teen drama aired for nine seasons on The WB/The CW from 2003-12. Bush and Lenz—Brooke and Haley on the show respectively—were the only two cast members to appear in all 187 episodes. Burton departed after her six-year contract expired in 2009, which she previously spoke about here.

Drama Queens will find Bush, Burton and Lenz re-watching every minute of One Tree Hill and discussing everything from favorite scenes to behind-the-scenes secrets. 

Plus, there could be other cast members welcomed in on the reunion.


"We have a group text that literally everyone who's ever been on the show is on," Bush revealed. "Everyone. Every single person from our show. And so, when we decided that we were gonna do this—long before we announced it—we told everybody what was up, what our plans were, and just said, 'Look, we obviously want to have each and every one of you on. If you don't want to come on, that's OK. No hard feelings. But if you do, we can't wait to audibly hug you."


The 38-year-old actress and activist also hosts a podcast called Work In Progress.
