Jennifer Lopez's New Netflix Rom-Com Is The Thing Of Our 'Office Romance' Dreams

It's such a small moment in the landscape of the series, which ran for 9 seasons from 2003-2012, but it really captures how the heartbeat of One Tree Hill is its relationships. The show features the kind of friendships you drop everything for at a moment's notice, the friends who know you to your core and don't shy away from all your sharp edges.

But the best news is that, just like Nathan, Haley, Brooke, and the rest of the gang are best friends in the show, the One Tree Hill cast is still close today! The show turned 21 on September 23, and the cast reunited for a One Tree Hill Anniversary Celebration (and a Tree Hill Ravens basketball game, of course).

Almost all our favorite stars were in attendance, but the most important reunion for me was James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz, AKA Nathan and Haley! Sophia Bush, Bevin Prince, Danneel Ackles, Daphne Zuniga, Jana Kramer, Austin Nichols, Antwon Tanner, Lee Norris, Paul Johansson, Stephen Colletti, Bryan Greeberg, Tyler Hilton, Barbara Alyn Woods, and more of the One Tree Hill cast were in attendance for a Tree Hill basketball game.

Sophia (who played the ICONIC Brooke Davis) confirmed she'd be at the celebration with an Instagram video. "Friends! I’ll be back in Wilmington with my pals @danneelackles512 @bevinaprince @daphnezuniga @kramergirl @austinnichols and more on September 22nd," she says in the caption. "Come hang for photos and more friendship bracelets (don’t say I never gave you anything IYKYK 😉)."

Fans also got some time with their favorite actors during photo opps and meet and greets, and I was over the moon to see Sophia and Austin (who got married on the show) were paired up! I L-O-V-E them.

When is the One Tree Hill Anniversary Celebration?

This year's celebration took place from September 19-23, 2024 in Tree Hill, North Carolina (er, Wilmington!).

Will there be a One Tree Hill reunion?

In addition to the One Tree Hill Anniversary Celebration, the One Tree Hill cast is teaming up for a Netflix sequel series! While we don't have the full plot or cast list yet, Chad Michael Murray revealed what his dream spinoff would look like earlier this year.

"They could do, like, a Tree Hill Generations and deal with all the trials and tribulations the youth are going through today," he suggests on The Today Show. "Social media and discrimination and everything else that's out there in the world that we could bring to light so these kids could learn to say, 'Hey! I identify with this and that.' That's what was great about the show was everyone had someone to identify with."

"If there wasn’t some sort of like spinoff or something, I would be so surprised," Barbara Alyn Woods says in an Entertainment Tonight interview. "Because we’re all on board, we’re all friends, it would be the most fun show anybody has ever been on."

What day is One Tree Hill Day?

One Tree Hill Day is September 23 every year. This makes since considering the show originally premiered on September 23, 2003.

Netflix's A Year in the Life premiered in 2016, nine years after Gilmore Girls season 7 ended, which meant the characters we'd become so familiar with were in completely different life stages. "We have a Rory that's not successful and is struggling with life," Patterson says. "I think that was a tough pill to swallow, watching Rory struggle so much, and the fact that Luke and Lorelai didn't have any children, they didn't even have one, that they weren't married."

However, despite the fact the Netflix series doesn't have the same magic we feel in early seasons of Gilmore Girls, watching Rory, Luke, and Lorelai deal with their own struggles feels very similar to coming-of-age in the real world, where life doesn't feel quite as limitless as it does when you're a kid. But Scott Patterson, who's currently watching the Netflix miniseries for his Gilmore Girls rewatch podcast, is enjoying every moment.

"I'm really kind of loving these [miniseries] episodes," he says. "I read the reviews. I know people aren't real happy with them. I was thrilled with 'Summer.' I thought it was really kind of crazy and experimental, and it took a lot of risks...I've been thoroughly entertained, I really have. And that's really the point, isn't it?"

Netflix's 10-year deal with Warner Bros. expires by 2026, which means they could be signing another deal in the next two to three years. Scott Patterson says that getting the gang back together is all "a matter of schedules...when it's getting a lot of people together who are really busy."

While we probably won't be seeing a reunion in the near future, Patterson does tease the rewatch podcast "has a little bit of an announcement coming," and that the show's 25th anniversary is coming up next year. "Wouldn't it be nice to announce something for the 25th anniversary? Who the heck knows?"
