StarNews: ‘One Tree Hill’ renewal going down to the wire

---


Sometimes a TV show can be so much more.

If you don’t believe it, just do a quick search of Twitter using the hashtag #OTHS9 and you’ll see that the fan base for “One Tree Hill” is taking the possibility of a ninth season seriously.

And personally.

Among the tweets:

“I pray every day for #OTHS9 because Haley is just my life inspiration! Cannot believe it could be an end…”

“Please renew for a final season #OTHS9 Because After all this years I still love the show like the first day”

“I can’t wait until next thursday to get confirmation on #OTHS9, or what I hope will be confirmation on #OTHS9. #icantwaitanylonger”

Official word about the fate of the long-running Wilmington-made series is expected during The CW network’s annual fall TV programming lineup announcement, also called the “upfronts,” on Thursday. But insider rumblings have already started pointing to a renewal for at least a partial season 9.

The network is staying tight-lipped in the meantime.

“We have no additional pickup news,” CW spokeswoman Cyndee Ellefson said on Wednesday. “Our schedule will be announced next week.”

With the season 8 finale showing at 8 p.m. Tuesday, word about the series’ future is likely to begin circulating at least a couple of days before the upfronts. Reports of creator Mark Schwahn filming several ending scenarios are popping up online.

While many in the industry are hedging their bets on a return of “One Tree Hill,” local film officials say you can never be sure what the networks will do.
