One Tree Hill moves from Vuzu to M-Net Series for the show's ninth and final season in May. Season 8 ended on Vuzu in 2011 and now it eventually returns to wrap the series on Friday, 10 May. It starts with a single episode and then moves to double bills two weeks later.
Three other series also premiere on the channel in May. Here's our rating of each show followed by synopses and trailers so you can take a closer look:
Hunted = Hott
One Tree Hill = Too long overdue
The Hour = Hott
Golden Boy = definitely not hott ... the main character's too unlikable.
