"There's only one Tree Hill, after all," Bush and Burton's posts continued. "And you — the #OTHfam — have shown us that it's not just an idea. It really is the place where 'everything’s better and everything's safe.'"

In the comments section of her Instagram post, Bush revealed that "it took 3 years for this to get leaked so I guess we are actually (very) good at waiting." Her comment was in response to someone commenting they couldn't wait for the "One Tree Hill" stars to hit the small screen again.

According to Variety and Deadline, Bush, Burton and Ackles will serve as executive producers on the reboot. No other cast announcements were shared, but Deadline reports that Murray − who was briefly married to Bush in 2005 − has "no plans to return for the follow-up."

This isn't the first time former "One Tree Hill" cast members reunite.

Bush, Burton and Lenz have co-hosted the show's rewatch podcast "Drama Queens" and have welcomed special guests from the show, including Jana Kramer, Daphne Zuniga, Cullen Moss and Paul Johansson. Burton recently stepped down from co-hosting duties after Season 6, which marks when Peyton left Tree Hill.

"We have reached the end of my behind-the-scenes experience on the show, and so I really started to question what I brought to this, but also how we keep that storytelling alive and important," Burton said during one of her final episodes on the podcast. "And so as we head into seasons seven through nine, it was important that we introduced a new queen who could take over for me."

Robert Buckley, who joined the show in Season 7, is now hosting the podcast alongside Bush and Lenz.
