Who is coming back? Warner Bros. TV are obviously working with Burton and Bush on the series, but who else is signing back up? Based on Burton's post, it seems fair to assume Bevin Prince will reprise her role of Bevin Mirskey while Ackles is reportedly “in talks” to bring back Rachel.
Multiple former cast members commented on Burton's post expressing their own desires to reprise their roles. “OTH couldn’t be in better hands,” wrote Robert Buckley, who recently joined their rewatch podcast, Drama Queens. “SIGN👏ME👏UP👏 🔥🙌.” Tyler Hilton, Bryan Greenberg, Jana Kramer, and Daphne Zuniga also commented.
Who is not returning? According to Deadline, Chad Michael Murray has “no plans to return” to the series. Like Burton, Murray left One Tree Hill after season six, though he made a guest appearance in season nine. And while his character, Lucas Scott, often found himself torn between Peyton and Brooke, the actor himself was married to Bush for five months from 2005 to 2006.
When it came to the original series, Lucas and Petyon were endgame, leaving Tree Hill to raise their daughter Sawyer Brooke Scott. Many fans will definitely not be happy if the new series breaks them up. “Please don’t ruin lucas and peyton’s endgame💔,” one fan commented on Burton's post. “No Leyton, no show.”

Who is up in the air? Well, everyone else. Deadline reports that there have been “informal conversations” with other members of the ensemble, but no more information has been shared. The biggest question marks are currently surrounding the series' other high school sweethearts: Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott, who were portrayed by James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Lenz.
