"THE O.C." RETURNS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, ON FOX

AUTUMN REESER AND WILLA HOLLAND JOIN CAST AS SERIES REGULARS POP/R&B TEEN SENSATION CHRIS BROWN AND CHRIS PRATT JOIN AS GUEST-STARS


The fourth season of THE O.C. will premiere Thursday, Nov. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. This season hits the ground running with THE O.C.'s trademark mix of heart, humor, drama, action and romance.

Josh Schwartz, creator and executive producer of THE O.C., says of the new season: "I'm very proud of these episodes and I think they convey real emotion and drama but also, more importantly, humor and heart. I believe our fans will find this focus on our core characters and their relationships really satisfying. The show has been reinvented; rebooted. Personally, it feels like THE O.C. is back. I hope our fans feel the same way."

When the series returns for Season Four, high school seems like a distant memory to the young graduates, who have been thrust into adulthood after the death of their beloved friend Marissa. The Cohens struggle to keep Ryan focused on the future, fighting the forces that threaten to pull him back into his old life. SANDY (Peter Gallagher) returns to the Public Defender's office, and he and KIRSTEN (Kelly Rowan) find themselves the happiest they have ever been with each other while rising to the challenge of keeping their family together.

SUMMER (Rachel Bilson) has left Orange County and is attending Brown University in Rhode Island, where she has reinvented herself as a left-leaning, tree-hugging activist under the sway of CHE (guest-star Chris Pratt); out are Summer's celebrity gossip magazines and in are her "Chicken-lovers of the world unite!" flyers. Meanwhile, SETH (Adam Brody), lonely in the O.C. and working at a local comic book store, turns to watching golf with DR. ROBERTS (Michael Nouri) and hanging out with the Newpsies for social stimulation.

KAITLIN COOPER (new series regular Willa Holland) returns to the O.C. as the No. 1 troublemaker at The Harbor School. Over the summer she has befriended Luke's younger twin brothers, ERIC (Corey Price) and BRAD WARD (Wayne Dalglish), who worship her. Meanwhile, JULIE COOPER (Melinda Clarke) will do anything – even yard work – to avoid dealing with the loss of Marissa. And TAYLOR TOWNSEND (new series regular Autumn Reeser) is hiding out and speaking French in the O.C. after her mysterious romance in Paris.

Chris Pratt will appear in a multi-episode arc starting on the season premiere, playing Summer's environmentalist activist Svengali, Che. Pratt was last seen on "Everwood" as "Bright Abbott." He was recently on the big screen opposite Amy Sedaris in "Strangers with Candy" and will next appear opposite Cary Elwes in "Walk the Talk." Pratt was born in Minnesota and currently lives in Los Angeles.

Pop/R&B teen sensation Chris Brown, 17, begins production on THE O.C. in late October; episodes featuring Brown will air on FOX later in the season. Brown will play WILL TUTT, a lonely band geek at The Harbor School who befriends Kaitlin Cooper. As their friendship grows, a possible romance blossoms in the O.C. Brown debuted on the music scene with the single "Run It!" and became the first male solo artist to release a single that went straight to the top of the Billboard singles chart. Brown's self-titled debut album was an immediate Top-10 hit and is certified platinum. Brown is from Tappahannock, VA, and has a recording contract with Jive Records. He will make his motion picture debut in 2007 in Sony Screen Gems' "Stomp the Yard."

From Wonderland Sound and Vision and College Hill Pictures and in association with Warner Bros. Television Production Inc., THE O.C. is executive-produced by Josh Schwartz, Bob DeLaurentis, Stephanie Savage and McG. Ian Toynton and John Stevens are co-executive producers. The series stars Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen), Kelly Rowan (Kirsten Cohen), Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan Atwood), Adam Brody (Seth Cohen), Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper), Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts), Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend) and Willa Holland (Autumn Reeser).

Kristin Cavallari is looking forward to spending a couple of months in the company of nerds. The "Laguna Beach" star-turned-actress confirms in the next issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands Friday) that she will star in a remake of the 1984 cult classic "Revenge of the Nerds." The flick is being co-produced by Adam Brody of "The O.C." and is due next year. Cavallari — who will play Kaley, a Pi-Delta-Pi sorority sister — told the magazine that she's "so excited" to be in the movie. "I love the original, so it's an honor to be a part of [the sequel]." ...

Casting for state film office head

Now that Mark Drago's been shown the door, who'll be fronting the state's film office? Some folks are whispering Sam Weisman's name, claiming the ``Dickie Roberts " director has been gunning for Drago's job all along. ``Ridiculous," says Weisman, who lives in Newton. ``Believe it or not, I promoted a plan to keep Drago." The Massachusetts Sports and Entertainment Commission , on whose board Weisman sits, announced this week it's ditching Drago, who had limited success enticing Hollywood to the Hub. Rich Krezwick , managing director of the private nonprofit commission, insists there's no front - runner for the position. ``I have had many conversations with Sam Weisman about the film business. He's been incredibly helpful and supportive," said Krezwick. ``[But] none of those conversations has ever involved Sam taking the job." (In one bit of behind-the-scenes manuevering, we're told Weisman helped producers of ``The Game Plan" -- the football flick costarring 7-year-old Madison Pettis -- sidestep the state's antiquated child labor laws.) Weisman, whose credits also include ``George of the Jungle " and ``Bye Bye Love ," told us his plate is full: He's producing a movie that starts shooting in Waltham later this month, after which he'll direct ``Surrender" starring Mischa Barton and Eric McCormack, and then ``Love Sucks," which was written by Conan O'Brien's sister, Jane , and may star Nia Vardalos .

From Cloudy Day on TwoP:


Check this out - a whole site dedicated to the 3rd season of The OC on DVD. It has some Season 3 pics that I personally haven't seen before, and 3 videos that will probably be part of the special features on the DVD - The real Volchok who the character was named after, the filming of the prom episode, and a little blooper with Adam, Ben and... Rachel or Nikki Reed (can't tell, she was with her back and the video barely worked for me).
Have fun.

Thanks to Cloudy Day.

For UK Fans:

Digital Spy Tube Talk

Mark: "Hi, Do you think the fact that the oc is starting in november instead of the start of the american season will help it avoid cancellation and do you know when the 4th season will be on e4? Also in the event of it being cancelled in the US will the remaining episodes be shown in the uk?"

Neil: Moving to a better slot will help it avoid cancellation - it's against both CSI and Grey's Anatomy. January is normally the expected landing time on E4 but it may be a month or two later this time. If it does get chopped prematurely - I suspect given its calibre they wouldn't just take it off the air, but instead maybe reduce the order - but if it is, then E4 would show any produced episodes not yet screened.
