Multiple outlets reported on Aug. 30 that the teen drama would return and be executive produced by Sophia, Hilarie and fellow One Tree Hill alum Danneel Ackles, who is also in talks to reprise her role. The show is set to be written and executive produced by Becky Hartman-Edwards, whose previous projects include Firefly Lane and Parenthood, per Variety.
“The sequel is said to take place 20 years later,” according to Deadline, “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.”
Sophia also cryptically reacted to news of the reboot on Aug. 30, posting an Instagram photo with Hilarie, Danneel and fellow alum Bevin Prince alongside a caption that read, in part, “What if you really can go back home? If there’s an opportunity to team with brilliant creatives and build a space where all our friends can show off their talents? Own our history? Reclaim our turf? Honor our fans? Sign us up.”
Netflix declined to comment when contacted by E! News.
