‘One Tree Hill’ Cast 17 Years Later: Where Are They Now?

‘One Tree Hill’ premiered on Sept. 23, 2003. The series has become one of the most beloved teen dramas of all-time, and fans still love the cast 17 years later. So, what is the cast doing today?

On Sept. 23, 2003, TV audiences went to Tree Hill and didn’t leave for another 9 years. Over the course of 9 seasons, the young cast of One Tree Hill grew up before our eyes — onscreen and offscreen. They went from teenagers to adults (particularly thanks to that season 5 time jump). One Tree Hill came to an end in 2012 and the show’s main stars have taken on new roles, had kids, and more.

But the cast hasn’t forgotten how they got their start. In addition to reuniting at fan conventions in Wilmington, where the show filmed, and other places, cast members like Hilarie Burton, 38, Lee Norris, 38, Tyler Hilton, 36, and more have reunited onscreen in Lifetime movies. See where the beloved One Tree Hill cast is now.
