Netflix has saved many of our favorite series from being forgotten; whether it’s seemingly immortalizing Dunder Mifflin or a certain Boston bar, we can credit the platform for keeping old gems alive. The CW’s hit teen drama One Tree Hill has called the streaming service home for longer than we can remember, but it seems like cord-cutters’ time in Tree Hill may be coming to a close.
The series followed half-brothers Nathan and Lucas Scott (James Lafferty and Chad Michael Murray), their friendships, relationships, and general existence in Tree Hill, North Carolina, and ran for 9 seasons. In the process, One Tree Hill easily stole the hearts of teens and adults alike and cemented Murray as something of a permanent teen idol. Rumors began swirling of the drama departing Netflix earlier this year, but they weren’t addressed until recently. So what’s the deal? Here’s everything you need to know about One Tree Hill‘s future on the platform.
Is One Tree Hill leaving Netflix?
Unfortunately, it is. On October 1, 2017, all nine seasons of One Tree Hill will leave Netflix. That means you have a little under a month to binge it all over again and indulge in some big, drippy crying sessions before you bid farewell to your favorite friends, lovers, and storylines involving dogs consuming human organs.
Why is One Tree Hill leaving Netflix?
There’s no official reason, but it likely has to do with hefty licensing fees and the platform’s desire to increase original content and decrease the number of licensed series to generate more revenue.
Are One Tree Hill fans upset?
You bet they are. There’s even a group of fans threatening to boycott the platform if they don’t keep One Tree Hill available to stream.
Will One Tree Hill be available to stream on another platform?
There haven’t been any announcements about a new home for the series, though it’s likely that another could pick it up – Hulu grabbed Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other WB properties when they departed Netflix.
