One Tree Hill, "the little show that could" (Mark Schwahn), has graced our television screens since September 23 2003. In it's early years, OTH struggled with ratings but managed to garner a large, strong and devoted fanbase. Viewers fell in love with; the deep, confused and skilled Lucas, the troubled Nathan, the 'best friend' with enough brains and kindess for the country, Haley, the 'lonely cheerleader', Peyton, and the slutty but lovable, Brooke.

In the following 4 years, One Tree Hill's residents matured and grew, as did its devoted and now international fan base and created some of the most powerful scenes in television history ('With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept') while managing to cram in light hearted moments ('I Will Dare'). As season 4 rolled to a close, our beloved characters had matured and grown beyond their years and had acheived state basketball championship, helping run an all ages club (Tric), starting a fashion line (Clothes Over Bros.) and even touring the country with a rock tour.

In early 2008, One Tree Hill made television history by being one of the first television series to jump forward in time between seasons. To be precise, '4 Years, 6 Months and 2 Days'. This began Season 5, which also featured what some cast and crew to be 'a miracle'. On March 18 2008, One Tree Hill turned 100. One year later, contract issues and (to this day) unknown situations caused Hilarie Burton (Peyton) and Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) to leave the show in the final episode of Season 6.
Season 7 featured the return of Brooke, Haley and Nathan with 3 new additions; Robert Buckley (Clay), Shantel VanSanten (Quinn) and Jana Kramer (Alex).

On April 19 2010, 6.5 years since it's beginning, One Tree Hill will celebrate it's 150th episode.

One Tree Hill has bought financial benefits to North Carolina as well as performed benefits for the U.S Army and Breast Cancer support just to name a couple. It's reached out to it's fans and even toured to little Honey Grove.

Through changing networks, losing major cast members and other obstacles, One Tree Hill is still going strong and performing well with it's original fan base still strongly intact.

Recent media releases stating that One Tree Hill may not be renewed for an 8th season is the kindling for this petition. OTH fan's now must unite to prove to The CW and the cast and crew of One Tree Hill that your fan's from around the world and in America want/need a Season 8.

Sign this petition for a One Tree Hill season 8, forward to your friends, facebook/tweet/myspace links to this. If we can hit 10,000 signatures, we could really start a driving force to The CW to renew One Tree Hill for an 8th Season.

Thank you in advance.

I now have a 'team' of outstanding people working together to work at getting something close to our hearts renewed. A twitter account for the Petition will be created soon so that people who sign can stay updated and so that more people can find out about it. Details coming soon.

This really does prove just how devote and wonderful One Tree Hill fans are. Thank you all and keep on fighting.

An official One Tree Hill Season 8 Petition has been created to help spread the word of the petition. Twitter has become a powerful and extremely effective way of spreading news and opinions. I think it's about time we spread this opinion: One Tree Hill deserves and needs an 8th Season.
Reading many of your signatures, it seems that the main reason is devotion and love to this great show and the fact that after many years of devotion and loyalty, you feel you deserve a proper series finale which season 7 could not effectively pull off in such a short time.
The CW needs to here these messages, so keep spreading the word so our voices can be heard.

News has emerged that a 2nd petition has began.. It's great to have the support, but it's certainly not a good thing. It confuses and divides fans, signatures and support which is absolutely ridiculous. Please be sure that everyone is aware of the Original and Official petition.
