“What I can say is that this go-around, being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens is something that — whether I was doing a reboot or a brand-new show or a different movie at this phase in my life, female teamwork is something that is so vital to me,” she told People.

“It is the core of anything I’ve done that’s successful. So I’m excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly,” she added.

As for the fan reactions?

“The nicest thing is seeing the positive fan reaction to it and all of our friends from the show commenting on posts and just getting to show enthusiasm, because obviously we want Netflix to greenlight it,” she shared.

Hilarie also addressed the news being leaked before they could announce it themselves.

“Do I wish that the news hadn’t leaked before we could announce it was official? Sure. But if it happens, I will be so freaking proud, much like we said, that every single person gets to bring their expertise to the table now,” she told People.

Over the summer, Hilarie exited the One Tree Hill rewatch podcast Drama Queens that she did with Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz. Her reasoning was because she wasn’t really in the final few seasons, so a new co-host who was on the show at the end was added!

Hilarie also opened up about her final day of filming on the series and how it was awkward and “deeply uncomfortable.”
