Additionally, Paul Johansson and Tyler Hilton returned as regulars after notable absences, whilst former stars Chad Michael Murray, Antwon Tanner, Barbara Alyn Woods, and Craig Sheffer returned for guest appearances.
The season opened to 1.75 million viewers and a 0.9 Adults 18–49 rating, up 26% in viewers compared to its season eight finale. The final episode aired on April 4, 2012, concluding the series with 1.43 million viewers.
After nearly a decade of highs and lows, heartbreak, celebrations, and secrets, the residents of this small North Carolina Town return for a final farewell season filled with new hope, new challenges, and dangers.
The CW officially renewed One Tree Hill for a ninth season on May 17, 2011. Mark Pedowitz, president of entertainment at the CW, said of the renewal, "We felt it would be really good for the viewers to have. It's a good show. The viewers loved it. So we thought we'd keep it going. The fans are very fervent about it, so we felt it was a great treat for them. On May 19, 2011, Dawn Ostroff confirmed that the 13 episodes for season nine would be the last for the series. In the official announcement of the CW's schedule, they confirmed the series stars and the executive producers for the final season. Mark Schwahn, Joe Davola, Greg Prange, Mike Tollin, and Brian Robbins continued in their roles on the show. Deadline reported that the final season would begin airing mid-season and its 13 episodes would air uninterrupted, leading into the series finale.
Production for the season began on July 7, 2011, at the Screen Gems Studios, Wilmington, North Carolina. While further scenes are shot in downtown Wilmington, including Wallace Park and Pure Gold Gentlemen's Club. The Corning manufacturing site on North College Road is also being used as the location for some scenes based in Tree Hill's hospital, police station and TV studio. A two-day shoot for some scenes in the season was also held at Kinston Regional Jetport. Paul Johansson will direct at least one episode in the season. At the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Mark Pedowitz said, "At this point it's the final 13", about the possibility of extending the season. He added, "You never want to say never", revealing that he did speak to executive producer Mark Schwahn and that they agreed that 13 episodes was the best number to close the series with. One Tree Hill filmed its final scenes on November 16, 2011.
The season aired Wednesdays at 8:00 pm Eastern/7:00 pm Central as a lead-in to new reality series, "Remodeled". It premiered on January 11, 2012, with an encore following immediately after. There was no opening credit sequence during the final season as producers didn't want to waste time that could potentially be used for story. Gavin Degraw will perform in the series finale. The series's final epilogue was sports-themed.
In an interview with Carina Mackenzie of Zap2it, Sophia Bush revealed she was the first person to be approached for season nine, and the first to sign on. "The idea that we would do this as 13 final episode[s] and almost shoot like it a miniseries really appealed to me," she says. "On a professional level, if we had shot 22 episodes, it would be one more year we'd be shooting through pilot season and unavailable for other things." When discussing the shows series finale and she being upset about the end, she said, "On the same side of the coin, most shows don't last this long. Most shows don't make it 6 years let alone 9, so I really feel like it's all just been a gift." In another interview, Bethany Joy Galeotti revealed her own reasons for returning, "It was a really tough decision, but I have a few friendships here that I wasn't ready to walk away from yet. Season 8 ended with like a booze-on-stage-8 kind of party. I was kind of like 'This can't be how we say goodbye. At least let's come back for 13 more episodes.'"
