Hilarie Burton Morgan is sharing a tease on the One Tree Hill sequel series in the works at Netflix.
Deadline reported last month that Burton Morgan and Sophia Bush are set to executive produce the series and reprise their Peyton Sawyer and Brook Davis roles, respectively. In telling the next chapter of this story, Burton Morgan said she wanted to work with a team led by females.
“What I can say is that this go-around, being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens is something that — whether I was doing a reboot or a brand new show or a different movie at this phase in my life, female teamwork is something that is so vital to me,” Burton Morgan told People of the upcoming series.
She added, “It is the core of anything I’ve done that’s successful. So I’m excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly.”
Burton Morgan teased that her new perspective in life “affects how you tell stories” and influenced the new series and that she wants to put out there now “are very different than they were when I was 20.”
