A sequel to the beloved American series 'One Tree Hill' is in the early stages at Netflix. Deadline reports that original stars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton are set to executive produce and reprise their roles as Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, respectively.

Danneel Ackles, along with her husband Jensen Ackles, will also serve as executive producers through their Chaos Machine banner. She is in talks to reprise her role as Rachel Gatina. The project is spearheaded by writer-executive producer Becky Hartman Edwards and Warner Bros. Television.
