Set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, the series originally revolved around the rivalry between half-brothers Lucas (Murray) and Nathan (Lafferty).

Burton played Peyton Sawyer, while Bush played Brooke Davis. Ackles played the character Rachel Gatina. Bush, Burton and Lenz previously co-hosted the “One Tree Hill” rewatch podcast “Drama Queens.” However, Burton retired from the podcast after season 6 as her character was no longer on the show. Robert Buckley, who joined “One Tree Hill” in season 7, is now the third host.

Mark Schwahn is the original creator of One Tree Hill, but is not involved in the sequel. In 2017, Schwahn was publicly accused by Burton and a number of cast and crew members of the series of assault and harassment during their time on the show. The group has spoken at length about the alleged abuse on their podcast.
