Hilarie Burton Morgan says there are 'lots of good things cooking right now' with the 'One Tree Hill' reboot

Last year, it was announced that a sequel series of One Tree Hill was in the works at Netflix with original stars Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton Morgan, and Daneel Ackles executive producing. Bush and Morgan are confirmed to reprise their roles, and Mark Schwahn will not have any involvement in the reboot. Becky Hartman Edwards will serve as showrunner. 

According to Deadline, the reboot "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."

While at the AMC Networks 2025 Upfront & Content Showcase, Morgan gave an update to PEOPLE: "We're at the phase right now where I can't say anything. Before, I could be like, 'Oh, there's a little bit of movement.'"

She then commented, "There's lots of good things cooking right now, and it's really smart, caring people working on it. And that's always a fun thing to be a part of."

So who else could return? Well, Bryan Greenberg, Robert Buckley, Tyler Hilton, and Daphne Zuniga all commented on Morgan's Instagram post. Hilton also told PEOPLE, "I'll do any One Tree Hill thing anytime. It's got such a place in my heart. They'd always talked about reboots in the past, and I was always a ‘yes’ no matter what. It's become this zeitgeist thing for me and for the fans that I just feel like I should be a part of it if I'd be lucky enough to be asked. I think it would be really fun to do. I would love to get to play Chris Keller for the rest of my life. It's such a guilty pleasure."
