Misha’s character’s death marked the end of the show for many fans, even though it continued for another season.
But the actress, who played Marissa Cooper on the Fox teen drama series, has now dropped a major clue that a reboot is on the horizon.
Appearing on RTL, Mischa was asked if a reunion would be likely after co-stars Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke did a podcast called The O.C together and after Adam Brody and Ben McKenzie reunited.
Misha teased: “I did the podcast with Melinda and Rachel.

“There might be a reunion coming up, we’ll see.”
The host then asked if it was definitely in the pipeline and Misha added: “We’ll see…”
Fans of the show raced to the comment section to share their excitement.
One said: “There so is a reunion, you can see by her eyes.”
A second commented: “Hold up, I want this to happen.”
A third added: “A reunion is so needed.”
While it certainly seems time has flown by since the Californian teen drama started in 2003, the cast of The OC have been pretty busy.
From rehab, to Hollywood movies and marrying a Gossip Girl star, the stars of the Californian teen drama have certainly kept busy.
Ben – who played Ryan Atwood – was the ultimate teenage heartthrob and since the show ended, he’s landed two pretty huge roles in the States.
Up until 2013, he played Officer Ben Sherman in crime drama Southland, and now he’s a regular in Batman prequel Gotham, playing another lead cop – Jim Gordon.
He also married Gotham co-star Morena Baccarin last summer – and the pair have a two-year-old daughter, Frances.
Adam Brody – who played Seth Cohen – might have married his dream girl Summer Roberts in the show’s finale, but in real life, he coupled up with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (who played Blair Waldorf).
Post-Seth, Adam has landed plenty of American television roles and some pretty big leads in films too, such as Scream 4 and Jennifer’s Body.
Meanwhile, Rachel was only supposed to appear in a couple of episodes, but her character Summer soon became one of the show’s main stars.
And Rachel landed some pretty decent jobs after the show finished, including a role in How I Met Your Mother, Nashville and movie, Jumper.
Mischa played troubled Marissa Cooper – Ryan’s love interest who in a shocking and heartbreaking twist, was killed in a car accident at the end of season three.
And while Marissa had her struggles in the show – Mischa was also facing a battle in real life.
In 2007, Mischa was arrested for driving under the influence – but despite being sent to rehab not long afterwards, Mischa was admitted to a psychiatric ward in 2009.
Since leaving hospital, Mischa released her own fashion line and appeared on Dancing With the Stars in 2016.
