It had been rumored for quite some time that a revival of the popular O.C was on the way. Unfortunately, on the day the CW announced their renewal of all their 13 shows, FOX confirmed the news many fans were afraid of.
Fox entertainment boss Michael Thorn spoke Deadline regarding the show and stated,
that the youth-skewing, sun-soaked soap “will not happen”.
“The O.C. will not happen despite my deep passion for it to come back. No one is available, unfortunately. I would be lying if I said ‘I didn’t ask’ every June,”
Thorn’s comments were echoed by creator Schwartz.
“We were asked about doing a return to The O.C. to see those kids grown up. For us, that was a very, very singular story. We felt like we completed that tale by the end,”
