All seasons of a \u2018gritty\u2019 teen drama that is currently being rebooted <\/a>is now streaming on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n First airing in 2003, One Tree Hill was created by Mark Schwahn. Set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, it initially followed the lives of two half-brothers, Lucas (played by Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (played by James Lafferty<\/a>), who compete for positions on their school\u2019s basketball team and face drama from their respective romantic relationships.<\/p>\n The supporting cast also included Hilarie Burton<\/a>, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson and Sophia Bush.<\/p>\n The series went on to run for a total of nine seasons, eventually wrapping up in 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n The first four season followed the main characters throughout their high school years growing up in a small town, before the story then jumped four years to show their lives after college.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tGet personalised updates on all things Netflix\t\t\t<\/p>\n Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro\u2019s TV Newsletter.<\/p>\n Sign up to our newsletter<\/a> and then select your show in the link we\u2019ll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you.<\/p>\n In the years since One Tree Hill ended, the show has been singled out by several publications including Cosmopolitan and Entertainment Weekly as one of the greatest teen dramas of all time, also drawing comparisons to The O.C. and Dawson\u2019s Creek.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Many also said it had a more masculine appeal, with PopMatters writing at the time that it initially premiered: \u2018Where Dawson\u2019s was about relationships, especially between boys and girls, One Tree Hill tries to be about masculinity, especially as negotiated through sports.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018This doesn\u2019t mean boys won\u2019t watch it, just that they won\u2019t talk about it,\u2019 they added.<\/p>\n Meanwhile The Wall Street Journal called it \u2018a slick prime-time drama about a small town packed with hunky teenagers and simmering family secrets\u2019.<\/p>\n Sharing their opinions on the show on online review sites, many viewers also said they\u2019d been \u2018hooked\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018Man, since I landed my eyes to the pilot of this show, I couldn\u2019t take it away from my TV set waiting for the next episode. This show is probably one of the best high school drama I\u2019ve ever watched,\u2019 user anastasiaveno posted on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018This is my favourite series of all time!!! I can never get enough of it. I love it. Would recommend it to anybody! There\u2019s drama, thriller, romance & so much more!! Watch it!!!\u2019 kecksxo shared.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018The characters are so real, so raw and you feel like you know them, as if they are your friends. Seriously amazed of how it manages to suck you into their world, without ever living,\u2019 andreagonzaleza wrote.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s an \u201cold\u201d show but really, you won\u2019t be disappointed after watching a few episodes. Give it a try! For me it will always be a timeless show! Those that stick to your heart and leave a mark forever,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n This week the entire series was added onto Netflix, where UK viewers can now re-watch the old favourite or dive in and binge all episodes for the first time.<\/p>\n Soon after the streaming service shared a post on socials reminding subscribers, with many overjoyed. \u2018So excited about this!!! Can\u2019t wait to binge watch all over again!\u2019 Jenny commented. \u2018I remember watching this years ago. It was a great series,\u2019 Leanne shared. \u2018Yay! I\u2019ve had the DVDs for years but now I can watch whenever,\u2019 Rebecca added.<\/p>\n The upload also comes following news that One Tree Hill is being rebooted \u2013 with some of the original cast members also set to feature.<\/p>\n In August 2024 it was announced that the streaming service was working on bringing the show back, with the sequel series set to take place 20 years later, following best friends Brooke Davis (Sophia) and Peyton Sawyer (Hilarie), who are now parents of teens and facing challenges \u2018not unlike those they tackled in the original series, such as love, insecurities, and grief\u2019 according to Deadline, who broke the news.<\/p>\n Soon after Hilarie confirmed the show was coming back \u2013 writing on Instagram<\/a>: \u2018What if you really can go back home? If there\u2019s 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? Honour our fans?<\/p>\n \u2018There\u2019s only one Tree Hill, after all. And you \u2014 the #OTHfam \u2014 have shown us that it\u2019s not just an idea. It really is the place where \u201ceverything\u2019s better and everything\u2019s safe\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n Meanwhile last year Austin<\/a> Nichols \u2013 who played Julian Baker \u2013 shared his thoughts on the show finding a new life, and a generation of new fans, on streaming.<\/p>\n \u2018A whole new generation found it,\u2019 he told People. \u2018And you\u2019re suddenly going, \u201cOh, there\u2019s something that is really connecting with people\u201d. It did, and it still is. It made us realise that it was something. I think we appreciate it more later because sometimes, when you\u2019re on it, you don\u2019t really know what you have.\u2019<\/p>\n One Tree Hill is streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Editorial](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SEI_176828538-2a72-e1772383756248.jpg\")
