The OC — all four seasons coming to All 4

Posted Filed under

All 92 episodes of The OC are coming to All 4 in January

Running for four seasons, The OC was an American teen drama that ran from August 2003 – February 2007.

In Channel 4’s own words:

The multiple award-winning show presents the lives of a group of friends and family whose lives have forever been changed by the arrival of an outsider to their affluent oceanside community of Newport Beach in Orange County (hence The OC), California.

When Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie) was taken in from the streets of Chino by then public defender Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) and his wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), the Cohens had no idea how Ryan’s arrival would change their lives and the lives of those around them. Their son, Seth (Adam Brody), found a friend and brother in Ryan to share his quirky way of looking at the world – and the trials and tribulations of winning the heart of Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson), his lifelong crush. Meanwhile, Ryan has fallen in love with the beautiful girl next door, Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton). But their romance is ill-fated, and constantly tested by the young lovers’ inability to escape from their pasts.

The show joins Dawson’s Creek90210One Tree Hill and Freaks and Geeks on All 4, fast becoming the UK’s home for classic US teen drama. You can read the Channel 4 press release here.
