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.

Lenz, of course, is the third original co-host of the Drama Queens podcast with Burton and Bush. However, fans suspect Burton and Lenz have been feuding since March, with many believing that it led Burton to step back from the podcast in July.
Fans have very mixed feelings about the whole thing. Of course, so many fans are thrilled about the return of their favourite show. “Full body chills and tears running down my cheeks,” one fan wrote on Instagram. “You guys are taking it all BACK & going back HOME 🥹😭❤️🔥💀”
Given the alleged drama behind the scenes of Drama Queens, however, some fans are concerned that the show will be missing too many key players. “This show can’t happen without Joy,” one fan commented on the announcement post. “I expect way more out of you both. DO BETTER! There is no OTH without Haley and her music!!”

TikTok user @itshmarie is proud of Burton and Bush, no matter what the future holds for the series. “This is just a PSA that while not all reboots are going to mesh well with viewers, it’s important to note that a reboot like One Tree Hill is going to allow people like Sophia Bush and Hilary Burton Morgan a chance to reclaim that power after working under such a monstrous man,” they said in a video about the sequel.
“While I might not know how I feel about this reboot as an individual, because we don’t know who’s going to be back and we don’t know how the writing’s going to be, I am still so very happy to see these beautiful women play my favourite characters again,” the fan continued. “Because after listening to their podcast and understanding the conditions that they were working under, I am glad to see them get that power back.”
