Lucas & Peyton to return in season 8 in this new One tree Hill season 8 spoiler. According to E! Online, characters Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) are definitely in talks to return to the show sometime this season. However,nothing is set in stone at this point.

They say their sources have revealed that their original plan was to have Lucas and Peyton return as a happy family,along with a baby to attend Brooke’s two-episode wedding during the original 13 episode order. However, the CW extended the show out to 19 episodes,so they may return at a later time.

Mark Schwahn who is the producer of One Tree Hill, revealed that everyone is interested in their return. He stated, “If schedules don’t work for Brooke’s wedding, maybe we’ll bring back Chad and Hilarie at a later date. If we get a full season maybe at the end of the journey, but those two characters are a big part of this world. We’ve talked about it, and there seems to be interest from all sides.”

He also revealed that there aren’t any past actors who aren’t invited back to the show,stating, “We’ve never parted ways with anyone with any animosity. We’ve had such a large cast and we’ve been on for so long, but there’s not one actor that is not invited back or unwilling to come back.”
