Netflix Reveals the Production of “Another Tree Hill”: A Sequel to One Tree Hill Centered on Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer – See Cast List and Release Date

In a groundbreaking announcement that sent waves of excitement through longtime fans, Netflix has officially confirmed the production of Another Tree Hill, a direct sequel to the beloved teen drama One Tree Hill. This new series will follow the lives of Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer as they navigate the challenges of adulthood, motherhood, and the lasting legacies of their past in Tree Hill.

Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan are set to reprise their iconic roles as Brooke and Peyton, now two decades older and wiser. The story will explore how their friendship has evolved, the ups and downs of raising teenagers, and the lingering shadows of the dramas they faced in their youth.

Another Tree Hill will dive deep into themes of family, forgiveness, and the bonds that stand the test of time. According to Netflix’s official press release, the sequel aims to “capture the heart of a new generation while honoring the characters and stories that fans fell in love with.”

Production is scheduled to begin in November 2025, with the series expected to premiere globally on Netflix in fall 2026. The series will consist of 10 hour-long episodes, with the potential for additional seasons depending on audience reception.

The official cast list released so far confirms the return of key favorites. Alongside Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan, the series will introduce a new generation of characters: Brooke’s teenage daughter Lily Davis (portrayed by rising star Ella Jay Basco) and Peyton’s rebellious son Jack Sawyer (played by Ty Simpkins). Expect plenty of drama as these teens carve out their own paths in the storied town.

Fans hoping to see Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, or Haley James Scott may be disappointed, as Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, and Bethany Joy Lenz are currently not attached to the project. However, sources close to production say “surprise cameos haven’t been ruled out.”

Mark Schwahn, the creator of the original One Tree Hill, is not involved with the new project. Instead, the sequel is being helmed by showrunners Amanda Lasher (Sweetbitter) and Raelle Tucker (True Blood), promising a fresh perspective while maintaining the show’s signature mix of romance, family, and small-town intrigue.

Executive producers include Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan themselves, giving fans hope that Another Tree Hill will stay true to the spirit of its predecessor. Jensen Ackles and Danneel Ackles are also attached as executive producers through their production company, Chaos Machine.

The series will revisit iconic locations from the original show, including Karen’s Café, the River Court, and Tree Hill High, while introducing new spots that reflect the changing town. Wilmington, North Carolina, which served as the backdrop for the original series, will once again host filming.

Netflix’s head of original content described Another Tree Hill as “a love letter to the fans who grew up with these characters and a compelling new drama for anyone discovering Tree Hill for the first time.” Early buzz from industry insiders suggests Netflix sees the show as a potential tentpole series for 2026.

With nostalgia-driven reboots like Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and Fuller House performing well, Another Tree Hill aims to deliver both fan service and fresh storytelling. Brooke and Peyton’s journeys promise laughter, tears, and the kind of heartwarming drama that made One Tree Hill a classic.

As anticipation builds, fans should mark their calendars: Another Tree Hill is slated for release on October 16, 2026, exclusively on Netflix. Stay tuned for trailers, sneak peeks, and more casting announcements in the coming months!
