Movies News Talk
With the confirmation of One Tree Hill getting a reboot on Netflix, fans have mixed feelings. There has been talk of returning actors, as well as worries for a few fan-favorite characters. Find out why it might be a struggle for the reboot to create the right kind of storytelling!
The One Tree Hill Cast for the reboot is slowly coming to light. We know Hilarie Burton, (who played Peyton Sawyer) and Sophia Bush (who played Brooke Davis) are part of the reboot, and they are involved with the new series.
The new series looks at the characters' lives, 18 years later, focusing on their kids. But instead of focusing on Lucas Scott (and his romantic connection to Peyton), the series is expected to revolve more around their teenage children.
It has been confirmed by sources that Chad Michael Murray, who played Lucas Scott, will not be appearing in the reboot. This news leaves a big question about how to move the storyline forward!
The original series had Lucas and Peyton finding their happily ever after, making for a satisfying conclusion to the love story between Peyton and Lucas. One Tree Hill had an official ending for these characters. However, a major concern for many viewers will be whether the writers will alter or explain their situation to account for his absence from the reboot.
While fans loved Peyton and Lucas, Peyton Sawyer's role could be drastically affected. One possibility for the storyline might be having Peyton Sawyer single, dealing with her children, with no mention of Lucas Scott, who could have sadly died, or might be no longer a part of Peyton's life! This might also explore her other connections, perhaps a rekindled romance with Nathan Scott? But no matter what path the series chooses to take, it might still disappoint those who loved the original series.
Unfortunately, One Tree Hill Reboot does not have a specific release date, but with this recent confirmation from sources, we are bound to get an announcement soon. Fans of this beloved One Tree Hill Drama will surely want to be watching when it releases!
