One Tree Hill to eturn for Season 5
Returning for its fifth
season to the town of Tree Hill, this drama
revolves around the lives of two young men,
Lucas and Nathan, who have little in common
aside from their love for hoops and the fact
that they share the same father. The star of
the high school basketball team, Nathan
hails from a wealthy family, while his
half-brother Lucas is the only child of a
single mom. The inhabitants of Tree Hill
have witnessed Lucas' metamorphosis from
loner to high school basketball star, Nathan
and Haley's troubled marriage, and Peyton
and Brooke's tumultuous friendship. While
the teenagers struggle to find their places
in the world, the adults in Tree Hill
continue to deal with the residue of
decisions they made years ago. The series
stars Chad Michael Murray as Lucas Scott,
James Lafferty as Nathan Scott, Hilarie
Burton as Peyton Sawyer, Bethany Joy
Galeotti as Haley James, Paul Johansson as
Dan Scott, Sophia Bush as Brooke Davis,
Barbara Alyn Woods as Deb Scott, Barry
Corbin as Whitey Durham and Moira Kelly as
Karen Roe. ONE TREE HILL is from executive
producer and show creator Mark Schwahn
("Coach Carter"), executive producers Mike
Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola ("Smallville")
and Greg Prange for Tollin/Robbins
Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
In a strategy designed to give producers
time to make a significant creative change,
the hit drama ONE TREE HILL will be held
until midseason. When it returns, the story
will have advanced four years and the
characters will have already graduated from
college. Online digital diaries will
premiere in the fall, allowing fans to learn
what happened during the college years, and
will lead into the midseason series return.

"One Tree Hill" Gets the nod for one
more season!
‘By Allison Ballard Staff Writer
allison.ballard@starnewsonline.com
Television insiders following the progress
of One Tree Hill aren’t surprised the WB drama will be back for
a third season. After all, the current season has seen
double-digit growth in women viewers and people under 34 since
it premiered in 2003.
“I didn’t doubt that they’d pick it up
again,” said Bethany Joy Lenz, who plays Haley James Scott on
the series.
But it wasn’t until Tuesday, when the
network officially announced its upcoming fall season, that fans
could breathe a sigh of relief.
Now locals are waiting to see if the
series will return to film in Southeastern North Carolina.
“It feels good, because for so long we’ve
been the dark-horse contender, the underdog,” said series
creator Mark Schwahn about the renewal.
One Tree Hill originally was scheduled as
a midseason replacement show for the 2003-2004 season. When the
premiere date was bumped up to fall 2003, with little preceding
hype, the ratings were low.
“A lot of people predicted we wouldn’t
make it,” he said.
On Tuesday, WB executives called OTH the
fastestgrowing show on television. With an average audience this
season of 3.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media
Research, the show is tied with Everwood as the third
highest-rated show on its network, behind 7th Heaven (4 million)
and Gilmore Girls (3.5 million).
This fall, OTH will anchor The WB’s
Wednesday night schedule, airing at 8 p.m. The drama has aired
at 9 p.m. Tuesdays for two years. A new series, Related, from
Friends creator Marta Kauffman, will follow One Tree Hill. It’s
about four adult sisters navigating career, romance and life.
The next decision for the One Tree Hill
producers involves whether the show will continue to film
locally at Screen Gems Studios.
“Creatively, they’ve asked me, and I said
I’d like to stay in Wilmington,” Mr. Schwahn said. “Our
exteriors are ingrained in the show.
“But I do fear we’ll be someone’s bottom
line. The threat of moving the show is still real, it’s still
there.”
If the state passes film incentives, it
will be a good step to keeping the show here, he said.
“I think for the third season, we’ll be in
Wilmington. Beyond that, I get the sense that if initiatives
aren’t in place.».».and South Carolina has been so aggressive...
we’d really need to look hard.”
Mr. Schwahn also said the network ordered
more episodes, a total of 26, for next season. That’s four more
than the first season and three more than the current season,
which airs its final episode 9 p.m. Tuesday.
After the third season, OTH cast and crew
will have completed 71 episodes, if everything goes according to
plan.
“The magic number is 100 for syndication,”
said Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film
Commission. Syndication is a moneymaking marker for television
producers. The more episodes the series has, the more valuable
it is.
“After this season, they’ll be
three-fourths of the way there,” Mr. Griffin said. “So as long
as the numbers are good, it looks positive for a season four and
five.”
One Tree Hill stars Chad Michael Murray
and James Lafferty as two half-brothers who compete on their
high school basketball team. Hilarie Burton, Paul Johansson,
Sophia Bush, Barry Corbin, Barbara Alyn Woods, Craig Sheffer and
Moira Kelly also star. Allison Ballard: 343-2376
