Nearly two decades since their hit Fox series The O.C.<\/a> ended, OG stars Peter Gallagher<\/strong><\/a> and Kelly Rowan<\/strong> staged a reunion of sorts right before the 4th of July holiday.<\/p>\n Gallagher, 70, shared a sweet snap of him and Rowan, 60, standing in front of a green bush via Instagram on Friday, July 3.<\/p>\n \u201cLook who came to visit! Kirsten and Sandy are wishing you all a Happy Fourth! […] and sending you our love,\u201d Gallagher wrote in the caption. \u201cGreat to see her, her lovely family and long-time pal. Here\u2019s to the next occasion!\u201d<\/p>\n That prompted a wellspring of love from Gallagher\u2019s 143K followers, including some requesting that the two former costars return to the show, which still has die-hard fans in 2026.<\/p>\n The O.C. was originally broadcast on Fox from 2003 to 2007. The show initially centered around Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie<\/strong>), a rebellious teenager from Chino, California, who is taken in by Sandy and Kirsten Cohen (Gallagher and Rowan), who live in the ultra-rich Newport Beach. Together with their geeky teen son Seth (Adam Brody<\/strong><\/a>), the Cohens help Ryan ingratiate himself into Newport Beach\u2019s high society, where he eventually befriends and dates self-destructive socialite, Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n Speculation about a potential O.C. reboot has circulated for years. In 2021, while visiting costars Rachel Bilson<\/strong><\/a> and Melinda Clarke<\/strong>\u2019s podcast, \u201cWelcome to the O.C., Bitches!,\u201d Brody commented on whether or not a revival could work<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI kind of don\u2019t think it can be done because socially we\u2019re in a different place and we\u2019re in a more conscious place,\u201d Brody, 46, said. \u201cWhile The O.C. claims to be \u2014 in a similar sense as a Gossip Girl \u2014 while it would sort of say it\u2019s a critique, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s a celebration \u2014 it\u2019s a celebration of affluence in my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n At the premiere of Crime 101 in February 2026, costar Tate Donovan<\/strong><\/a>, who played Jimmy Cooper on the hit series, was more receptive to a potential return to the iconic teen drama. When E! News\u2019 Erin Lim Rhodes asked if he would join a reboot, Donovan, 62, responded<\/a>, \u201cOh yeah. [Creator] Josh Schwartz is an amazing guy. All those people would be so fun, but what would I play? The grandfather?\u201d<\/p>\n While an official O.C. revival isn\u2019t in active development, fans can enjoy Gallagher and Rowan\u2019s nostalgic reunion right before America\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nearly two decades since their hit Fox series The O.C. ended, OG stars Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan staged a reunion of sorts right before the 4th of July holiday.
