May 1, 2021 · The series shot stars like Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson to fame and gave Ben McKenzie and Adam Brody heartthrob status. But with the show returning to Irish screens 18 years after it premiered -- yes, really -- we're taking a look at where the cast from The OC is now.
- Mischa Barton as Marissa Cooper. The girl next door wore Chanel on The O.C., where Barton played SoCal sweetheart-meets-damsel-in-distress Marissa Cooper until her character's tragic death in season 3.
- Rachel Bilson as Summer Roberts. Bilson melted hearts and perfected her tan as Summer Roberts, the popular girl who — you called it! — fell for the video game nerd (Brody's Seth Cohen).
- Adam Brody as Seth Cohen. Brody's chic geek alter ego loved all things comic books, Chrismukkah and, of course, Summer Roberts. Besides taking his love for leading lady Bilson off-screen, he also introduced the show's tween fan base to indie bands like Death Cab for Cutie.
- Ben McKenzie as Ryan Atwood. Good-looking bad boy Ryan Atwood brought as much drama as the Newport housewives when he navigated his post-Chino life and tidal wave-like relationship with Barton's Marissa Cooper — all while wearing his signature white tank top.
- Ben McKenzie as Ryan Atwood. Ben McKenzie played the broody central character Ryan Atwood for all four seasons of The O.C. The show begins with Ryan being arrested after a botched car robbery with his brother.
- Mischa Barton as Marissa Cooper. This British-American actress began her career as a child but didn't become a household name until the 2003 release of The O.C.
- Adam Brody as Seth Cohen. At times during The O.C. 's run, it felt like Adam Brody's Seth Cohen was a California re-skin of his Gilmore Girls character Dave Rygalski.
- Rachel Bilson as Summer Roberts. Bilson's Summer started the series as a recurring character before Bilson's magnetic portrayal upgraded her to regular status halfway through season one.
- Ben McKenzie - Ryan Atwood. McKenzie's kind-hearted Ryan Atwood is given a second chance at having a real family in The O.C., and his friendship with Seth and relationship with Marissa change him for the better.
- Adam Brody - Seth Cohen. Brody played the nerdy Seth Cohen, who becomes more confident after Ryan becomes part of his family. This character arc is what makes Seth a fan-favorite, and his relationship with Summer, who likes who he is makes their love story one of the best on the show.
- Mischa Barton - Marissa Cooper. Barton's The O.C. character Marissa Cooper is an unforgettable party girl who struggles with her mental health and connects with Ryan over being outsiders.
- Rachel Bilson - Summer Roberts. Bilson's Summer Roberts has a complete arc on The O.C., evolving from a shallow teenager only caring about parties and popularity to an environmental activist while in college.
