All 9 Seasons of OG ‘One Tree Hill’ Coming to Netflix Internationally

There is only one Tree Hill, and it’s officially moving to Netflix. In perfect preparation for Netflix’s own upcoming sequel series, the original teen drama phenomenon is arriving on the platform in multiple international territories next month.

With production on Netflix’s revival series (starring Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton) expected to get underway in 2026 at some point, the streamer has wisely secured the rights to the show that started it all. This move allows a new generation to catch up on the Scott brothers’ rivalry before the next chapter begins.

We can confirm that the complete series (Seasons 1-9) of One Tree Hill will launch on Netflix in select international regions on March 1st, 2026.

Of course, this will serve as homework for the upcoming Netflix Original title, which is expected to enter production this year. In case you missed it, we announced last year that we’ll be getting a sequel series with Warner Bros. Television producing and Becky Hartman Edwards on board to write and produce. The sequel is expected to take place 20 years later, following best friends Brooke Davis (Sophie Bush) and Peyton Sawyer (Hilarie Burton), who are now parents of teens and facing challenges not unlike those they tackled in the original series, such as love, insecurities, and grief.

Where is One Tree Hill streaming?

The deal currently covers a few key international markets, mirroring a trio of other Warner Bros. vault series: The Middle, Person of Interest, and The Mentalist. As we’ve been covering, the licensing floodgates have been fully opened since Netflix’s announcement of its acquisition of Warner Bros. and most of its assets late last year.

Confirmed regions picking up the OG One Tree Hill include:

• United Kingdom
• Canada
• Australia
• Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico)
• Select European territories (France, Germany)

For those in the US: While the sequel is a Netflix Original, the classic series remains on Hulu and Max in the US for the time being. However, it’s likely the series will drop from Netflix US at some point. Of course, Netflix was the series’ long-term streaming home throughout much of the 2010s, but the title ultimately left Netflix for good in October 2017.

Basketball, Brotherhood, and Gavin DeGraw

Premiering in 2003 on The WB, One Tree Hill survived the transition to The CW and ran for an impressive nine seasons. Unlike other teen soaps of the era, it was grounded by a sports through-line and a heavy focus on male vulnerability and brotherhood.

Set in the fictional town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, the story initially revolves around half-brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty). They share the same father—the villainous Dan Scott—but grew up in vastly different worlds. When Lucas joins the high school basketball team, their rivalry explodes both on and off the court, complicating their lives and the lives of their friends.

The Cast (And Who Is Returning)

The show launched the careers of its core cast, many of whom are confirmed to be returning for the Netflix sequel:

• Chad Michael Murray as the brooding writer/athlete Lucas Scott.
• James Lafferty as the arrogant star player Nathan Scott.
• Hilarie Burton as the music-loving artist Peyton Sawyer (returning for the sequel).
• Sophia Bush as the cheerleader-turned-fashion-mogul Brooke Davis (returning for the sequel).
• Bethany Joy Lenz as the tutor-turned-rockstar Haley James Scott.
