Last Tuesday (May 18), a day after the seventh season finale of “One Tree Hill” aired, The CW announced that the series will be back this fall for an eighth year.
Though the show’s cast and crew had the luxury of being renewed early over the last couple seasons, that was not the case this time around.
According to show creator Mark Schwahn, the decision really did come down to the last possible second and, though Monday’s (May 17) finale included some pretty serious cliffhangers, the producers truly didn’t know if they would have the opportunity to tie them up.
Schwahn, who says he and his cast and crew couldn’t be more giddy and energized about getting that chance, was kind enough to tell Korbi TV the true story of how the 11th hour renewal actually went down…
When Clay and Quinn were shot just seconds before the finale faded to black, we figured you knew for sure that the show was getting another season. Is that not true?
MS: It’s such a good question and, you know, I haven’t talked to anyone about this — I don’t think I’ve even done an interview since [last fall] when you and I talked — but no, I saw some speculation online about [the show's fate], but I knew five minutes before you guys posted it.
