The OC creator Josh Schwartz has revealed whether a long-awaited revival series will actually happen.
Schwartz was pressed for an answer while appearing at the 2019 Television Critics Association summer press tour to promote his new series Nancy Drew.

And unfortunately for fans, it seems they won't be hearing "California, here we come" blaring through their screens anytime soon.
"That was brought up at one point, we were asked about doing a return to The OC 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," said Schwartz.
However, all hope might not be lost, as Fox Entertainment boss Charlie Collier admitted he'd be interested in reviving any of its shows if the creators can come up with a suitable idea.

"There's no plan right now to revive Prison Break or any of the other franchises, but when the creators come with a story that they think is the right time to tell, we are so ready to listen because those are some franchises of which I'm so proud and feel so fortunate that they're in our stable," he said.
While there are currently no plans for a revival of The OC, Schwartz will be revisiting Gossip Girl.
"Gossip Girl, because of sort of the franchise at the centre of it, this idea, this ubiquitous, all-seeing technology, that felt like it had the opportunity to be revisited for a new generation as that technology has evolved, advanced, and unfortunately mutated in the intervening years," he said.
