Fans of One Tree Hill have been buzzing ever since news broke about a sequel series potentially in the works at Netflix. While details remain under wraps, there’s speculation that several original cast members could return. Chad Michael Murray, who played the beloved Lucas Scott in the original series, recently shared his thoughts on the idea—and his response is sure to excite longtime fans.
In an interview with Deadline, Chad revealed his support for the proposed reboot, highlighting its importance to the show’s dedicated fanbase.
“I really want some iteration of this show to come back for the fans,” he said. “I’ll tell you, whatever iteration of the show comes forward, I want that for the fans. There’s such a brotherhood and a bond between so many people all around the world with us. I’m grateful for that.”
His heartfelt words reflect the deep connection that One Tree Hill has maintained with its audience since the show’s finale in 2012. Over its nine-season run, the series became a cultural touchstone for viewers, blending drama, friendship, and romance in the small fictional town of Tree Hill.
One question that immediately comes to mind: Could Chad reprise his role as Lucas? While the actor didn’t give a definitive answer, his enthusiasm for the project suggests he’d be open to the idea.
His co-star in The Merry Gentlemen, Britt Robertson, certainly seems to be rooting for his involvement. During the same interview, she expressed her hopes for Chad to rejoin the One Tree Hill universe if the reboot moves forward.
However, it’s important to note that the sequel series isn’t officially greenlit yet. While it’s in development, details are still being finalized. Netflix hasn’t released an official statement or timeline, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more information.
For many, One Tree Hill was more than just a TV show—it was a formative experience. The series tackled themes of love, family, ambition, and resilience, creating characters that audiences grew to love and root for. Lucas, in particular, was a central figure, and Chad’s portrayal brought a relatable vulnerability and strength to the role.
The possibility of revisiting Tree Hill, whether through new stories, old faces, or a mix of both, feels like a full-circle moment for fans who have remained loyal over the years. And with Chad expressing such genuine gratitude for the legacy of the show, it’s clear that One Tree Hill continues to hold a special place in his heart as well.
While the reboot’s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the love for One Tree Hill hasn’t faded, and the excitement for its potential return is stronger than ever. Whether it’s a sequel, a reboot, or something entirely new, Tree Hill’s story might not be finished just yet.
