Will One Tree Hill Sequel Series Have A Feminist Perspective? Actress Hilarie Burton Reveals

As a die-hard One Tree Hill fan who has lived through the ups and downs of this captivating series, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming reboot! The fact that Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush, and Danneel Ackles are not only returning to their iconic roles but also collaborating as producers is simply music to my ears.


Previously starred on One Tree Hill, Hilarie Burton is joining forces with former castmate Sophia Bush to bring a reboot of the series. In an interview with PEOPLE, Bush hinted that the revival will deviate significantly from the original and shared insights about shaping the narrative, which aims to emphasize a feminist viewpoint, offering a fresh perspective on the story.

Burton emphasized that working alongside a group of women and exploring these narratives and characters from a feminine perspective had been on her wishlist for quite some time. Whether it was a remake or a follow-up project, she consistently held onto this shared vision during the development of the upcoming series. “In this stage of my career,” she continued, “collaborating with women is incredibly important to me.

In her own words, this talented actress from The Walking Dead expressed how her pathway to success seemed intertwined with a deep-rooted feminine power. She further shared her enthusiasm about collaborating with individuals she deeply admire and cherish.

According to Entertainment Weekly’s confirmation in August, the One Tree Hill sequel series (now streaming on Netflix) will bring back characters played by Burton, Bush, and Danneel Ackles. This new series emerges about seven years following a controversy, where cast members including Burton, Bush, Ackles, and 18 others from the original show banded together against creator Mark Schwahn for allegations of physical and emotional abuse.

In 2017, I found myself stepping down from my role as showrunner for E!’s The Royals, a decision that, to the best of my knowledge, was not due to any public statements regarding allegations made against me.

Regardless of the debates surrounding the program, the announcement of its reboot sparked a welcoming response among fans, which delighted Burton. She shared this sentiment with an interviewer saying, “The most heartening aspect is witnessing the positive feedback from fans and our fellow cast members expressing excitement on social media.
