Tonight’s episode of One Tree Hill will mark either the season or series finale. The CW network isn’t scheduled to announce their upcoming renewals and cancellations until Thursday but we should know the show’s fate tonight.
One Tree Hill began as the story of two half-brothers, their relationship, and their romances. Longtime castmembers Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton left the series last year. Many expected the series to quickly fold but some believe it’s found a new life creatively. The current cast includes Antwon Tanner, Austin Nichols, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Jackson Brundage, James Lafferty, Lee Norris, Lisa Goldstein, Paul Johansson, Robert Buckley, Shantel VanSanten, Michael Grubbs, and Sophia Bush.
While it’s looking promising that One Tree Hill will return for season eight, the cast and crew weren’t taking any chances. They filmed two endings — one to end the season and one that would cap the long-running series. The version that you’ll see tonight will be determined by the network’s choice.
The stars have been understandably hesitant to talk about either possible ending. However, Grubbs recently told Zap2It, “If there’s another season, we’ll hit you with a crazy twist… Look, the ending we’ll use if we get another season is just so insane. We could never use it as the series finale, with these twists and turns, because we could never do that to the fans and not wrap it up. It would just be evil.”
If the show is cancelled, Lafferty has a message for the show’s faithful fans. He told TV Guide, “Thank you. It’s because of them we’re still here. A show can’t stay on the air if it doesn’t have viewers, but our viewers have always gone above and beyond. They’ve always gone the extra mile to keep the show on the air and to let it be known they’re watching the show. All you can really say is thank you to the fans, and they’ve really helped define what the show will be remembered as. It’s just not this cult hit; [it’s] truly a show that has staying power and a generation identified with.”
What do you think? Would you like to see One Tree Hill to return for season eight or is it time for the show to be cancelled?

Please keep the show going… I have never missed an episode and I would just hate for the show to be cancelled… besides the way it ended tonight would not be a good way to end the show….
they cant end one tree hill with what happened toinght. brooke and julian are getting married finally, naley are having another baby, chase has to pick between alex and mia, and katie shot clay and quinn. so you just know that everyone is going to want to see what happens with all of them.
After watching tonights season finale, there better be a season 8! You definetly cant just leave it at that. After reading about the 2 different endings, I am convinced that the producers have already decided to renew for another season. Ill admit that when season 7 started I wasnt too thrilled but it grew on me with the Brooke/Julian love interest. I think this show should STAY!!! LOVE ONE TREE HILL!!! Been a fan since episode 1, season 1!
I hope that One Tree Hill comes back. There were some cliff-hangers…I am hoping for the best. I love Joy G. (Haley) and I love seeing Kate V. ( Mia)….then there’s that boy Jackson B… adorable! I will admit I wasn’t too hopeful after Peyton/Lucas departure. I think they could have enriched the story line. I am happy that they were mentioned in a nature (believable) way. Looking forward to next season of OTH!
It will be back, but dont be surprise if Brooke leaves I hear she is on a new show
She is filiming for the new show, but if OTH is renewed she will stay on..www.imdb.com..type her name in and you can read about it.
No Sophia has said, if OTH renews for an 8th season then she will back OTH all the way and she won’t be part of the new show. I think that Sophia was just making sure that she still had a job next year if OTH didn’t renew.
I think they should definitely bring the show back for another season. I absolutely love this show and with the ending that just played, they need to bring the show back!!
ONE TREE HILL SHOULD STAY ON THE AIR FOR A SEASON 8!!!!!
YES!!!! I have been waiting 4-ever for Brooke to be happy! And a new baby for Hailey and Nathan. Can’t wait for season 8!!!! My only gripe (too many commericals) Love the music!!
come back with an 8th season….you cant let the show go…i love one tree hill…if there is no 8th season fans will really be sad…KEEP OTH =)
If They Cancel That Show CW will Lose Tons oF Viewers And I Will Be One Of Them!!!!!! Why Would You Take This Amazing Show Off The air When Its a Family Show…………..
would LOVE to see One Tree Hill back for another season!
it mussstttt come back! way too crazy of an ending for the series to be over. and had it been ending i would think they’d thank the faithful fans who have been watching. 8TH SEASON PLEASEEE!! It is just too good to end. That girl is a psychopath
