It’s been over 14 years since the last episode of The O.C. aired, and there’s potential for the series to make a return — according to stars Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke, at least. “I know we talked about definitely getting together personally, as a reunion… all of us getting together,” Rachel shared during her one-on-one interview with her former co-star for Entertainment Tonight. The ladies got together before the launch of their new podcast series Welcome to The O.C. B*tches!.
“I think we have spoken to some already, everyone’s on board for that,” Rachel, 39, went on. “But a reboot would be awesome. I think that’s in the hands of [creators and executive producers] Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. There’s still a ways to go, so maybe they’ll figure it out! That’d be fun.” Melinda, 52, was all about the idea, too.
Rachel starred as Summer Roberts on the drama series, while Melinda played Julie Cooper on the show. The pair were core cast members for the entire series run, spanning more than 90 episodes. They also opened a whole new chapter in their respective careers thanks to the series. The O.C., which chronicled the lives of rich families living in Orange County, CA, also starred breakout names like Mischa Barton, Adam Brody, and more.
