Sophia Bush<\/strong><\/a> thinks a return to Tree Hill could be in the cards \u2014 but with an updated twist.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I will say is I think for a long time our answer on that was a firm no, we were really ready to put it to bed,\u201d Bush, 41, told E! News<\/em><\/a> of a potential One Tree Hill<\/em><\/a> reunion on Wednesday, January 24, at the premiere of her new film Junction<\/em>. \u201cAnd then with the girls and I deciding that that was our show and we deserve to reclaim it, now we\u2019re like, \u2018Well what would a feminist reclamation of our show look like?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Bush starred on One Tree Hill<\/em> as Brooke Davis for nine seasons from 2003 to 2012. Nearly a decade later, the actress, along with costars Hilarie Burton Morgan<\/strong> and Bethany Joy Lenz<\/strong>, announced their rewatch podcast, \u2018Drama Queens<\/a>,\u201d in June 2021. Taking an introspective look back at their time on the show is something Bush said has changed her perspective on a potential future reboot of the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe podcast has brought us some joy and I think it has changed our answer collectively from \u2018never\u2019 to \u2018never say never,\u2019\u201d she teased. \u201cI don\u2019t have any answers from you but things change over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for where Bush thinks her character would be today, the actress pointed to a specific season 2 story line that she thinks could be the launching point for Brooke\u2019s current career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always joke that, you know, Brooke Davis running for class president really changed the trajectory of her whole life,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d like to see her in elected office. I\u2019d like to see her delivering an impassioned rant about what people deserve. I think that would really be up her alley.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Tree Hill, which initially aired on the WB and later the CW, was set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, and followed two estranged half-brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray<\/strong>) and Nathan (James Lafferty<\/strong>) as they navigated sharing a town \u2014 and a basketball team \u2014 while dealing with their malicious father, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

While the series is beloved by fans, the show was often a tumultuous experience for its cast. The women of the series went public with harassment allegations against creator Mark Schwahn<\/strong> in 2017. While Schwahn never addressed the accusations, Bush previously shared that she, along with Morgan Burton, 41, and Lenz, 42, who portrayed Peyton Sawyer and Haley James Scott, respectively, started their podcast in order to reframe their experience on the show in an empowering way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show itself is a thing that we have had all these mixed emotions about for so long,\u201d Bush told Variety<\/em> in 2021. \u201cThis is an opportunity for us to lean into everything that was good and we\u2019re going to take back everything that should have been better. To be in that position of empathetic power feels really good. Because there was no one in power who showed us all that much empathy, and we want to do it differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an April 2023 episode of \u201cDrama Queens,\u201d the trio explained<\/a> why they feel a responsibility to continue to speak about the harassment allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil there\u2019s some kind of change<\/a> in our industry, I don\u2019t know how we stop [speaking out],\u201d Burton Morgan said. \u201cThe only reason that we made it out is because we had each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
