Ben McKenzie says yeah, sure, you could talk him into an O.C. revival
A cheerful McKenzie clearly knows he's got to pay the Ryan Atwood tax every time he wants to promote his anti-crypto documentary.
Ben McKenzie, the writer-director behind the anti-crypto documentary Everyone Is Lying To You For Money, has expressed interest in a potential revival of his former hit show, The O.C. Despite the lack of serious discussions surrounding the idea, McKenzie revealed during a recent radio interview that he would be open to the concept under the right circumstances.
Although the actor admits he doesn't know if there have ever been any serious talks about bringing the series back, he emphasized his willingness to participate should the opportunity arise.
McKenzie, who played Ryan Atwood in the popular teen drama, fondly recalled the time spent on set and the valuable lessons he learned from working alongside his co-stars. Reflecting on the experience, he admitted that being so young during the show's production taught him a great deal. As for the rumors surrounding a possible O.C. revival, McKenzie jokingly responded with a "bullshit" verdict on crypto, before giving a playful "Let's make it happen" in response to fan demand for a reunion.
It is not uncommon for cast members of The O.C. to be asked about the possibility of a revival every few years, with most of them providing non-committal responses. Adam Brody, for example, stated that a revival would require a truly inspired idea, which he clarified meant a substantial amount of money. Series creator Josh Schwartz has made it clear that a revival is unlikely to occur, stating in 2024 that "We're just going to leave the O.C. story there."
