In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he revealed that he won’t be appearing in the series. He also confirmed this would also be the case for James Lafferty, who played his half-brother, Nathan Scott, on the show.

Murray shared a simple reason why both he and Lafferty won’t be appearing. As he put it,  “We’re not doing it because no one’s ever picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey, we’re doing this,’ so we’re not doing it.”

Lafferty and Murray seem to still be close years after the show came out. As the publication noted, Lafferty even texted Murray while discussing the reboot, causing Murray to joke, “Speak of the devil.”

Despite not appearing, Murray noted both he and Lafferty did like the fact that the show was coming back in some form. As Murray himself shared, “I want it for the fans.”
