The second season of the television series The O.C. commenced airing in the United States on November 5, 2004, concluded on May 19, 2005, and consisted of 24 episodes. It aired Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET in the US on FOX, a terrestrial television network. In addition to the regular 24 episodes, two special episodes aired before the season premiere. "The O.C.: Obsess Completely" documented the shows' impact on popular culture, and the following week "Welcome to The O.C.: A Day in the Life" provided a behind-the-scenes look at the show.[1]

Continuing the stories about the characters living in Newport Beach, California, the second season would be "no longer about Ryan's past; now it's going to be about Ryan's future", said Josh Schwartz, The O.C.'s creator. Schwartz went on to add that this season would "slow down the storytelling a little bit (...) and evolve the characters".[2] The focus of the series was on the romantic developments between Ryan and Marissa, and Seth and Summer, while Sandy and Kirsten face choices that could ruin their 20-year marriage, Julie's past comes back to haunt her, and Ryan's ex-con brother Trey gives living in Newport a try.[3] The season was released on DVD as a seven-disc boxed set under the title The O.C.: The Complete Second Season on August 23, 2005 by Warner Bros. Home Video.[4] On September 7, 2008 the season became available to purchase for registered users of the US iTunes Store. In the United Kingdom the season premiered January 11, 2005 on Channel 4.[5] In Canada the season aired on CTV Television Network and in Australia it was broadcast by Network Ten.

Crew

The season was produced by Warner Bros. Television and Wonderland Sound and Vision. The executive producers were series creator Josh Schwartz, McG and Bob DeLaurentis. Stephanie Savage and Allan Heinberg served as co-executive producers, with Loucas George credited as producer.[6] The staff writers were Schwartz, Savage, Heinberg, John Stephens, J.J. Philbin and Mike Kelley. The regular directors throughout the season were Michael Lange, Ian Toynton, Michael Fresco and Tony Wharmby.[7]

Cast

The second season had star billing for nine major roles. Mischa Barton as Marissa, Rachel Bilson as Summer, Adam Brody as Seth, Melinda Clarke as recently married Julie Cooper-Nichol, Peter Gallagher as Sandy, Benjamin McKenzie as Ryan and Kelly Rowan as Kirsten all returned to the main cast. Tate Donovan also initially reprised his major character role as Jimmy, but as was written out of the series in the seventh episode.[8] However Donovan returned with Jimmy as a guest star in the season finale.[9] Alan Dale, as newly wed Caleb, joined the main cast, having previously been a recurring role.[5]

Nicholas Gonzalez (as D.J.), Michael Cassidy (as Zach Stevens), Shannon Lucio (as Lindsay Gardner) and Olivia Wilde (as Alex Kelly) all took up recurring roles in the show as love interests of existing characters,[10] Marissa, Ryan, Summer and Seth, who are all now single.[11] Former main cast member Chris Carmack, as Luke Ward, left the show as did actors Samaire Armstrong, Taylor Handley, Ashley Hartman and Bonnie Somerville, who had recurring roles as Anna, Oliver, Holly and Rachel Hoffman respectively.

Actors returning as guest stars included Amanda Righetti (as Hailey), Michael Nouri (as Dr. Neil Roberts), Navi Rawat (as Theresa Diaz) (only in the premiere) and Linda Lavin (as The Nana).[12][13] Ryan's brother Trey also returned, but Logan Marshall-Green replaced Bradley Stryker in portraying him.[14] Other guest stars in new recurring roles included Billy Campbell, as magazine editor Carter Buckley,[15] Kim Delaney, as Sandy's ex-fiancée Rebecca Bloom,[16] Johnny Messner, as Julie's ex-boyfriend Lance Baldwin,[15] Kathleen York, as mother of Caleb's illegitimate child Renee Wheeler,[17] Nikki Griffin as party girl and drug addict Jess Sathers,[18] and Marguerite Moreau, as Reed Carlson the Vice President of a graphic novel company.[19] George Lucas also guest-starred as himself in one episode.[20]

Reception

The second season was widely received as inferior to the first,[21] but it has been noted that this maybe slightly unfair.[22] The show moved to "ultra-competitive Thursday"[23] nights which Schwartz described as a "real vote of confidence [from] the network",[24] but many attributed placing The O.C. against the likes of Survivor, Joey and Will & Grace as part of The O.C.'s decline in popularity.[25][26] The move improved FOX's performance at the new time slot, but lost the show viewers.[27] The season premiere attracted 8.6 million viewers,[28] but average viewing figures decreased thirty percent from the previous season to 7 million.[29]

For the second season the show was nominated for five Teen Choice Awards winning four of them, including best drama. It was also nominated for the Favorite Television Drama People's Choice Award. Kelly Rowan won a PRISM Award for Performance in a Drama Series Episode, with Peter Gallagher also getting nominated. Additionally the season finale was nominated for the TV Drama Series Episode award.[30] The introduction of bisexual character Alex, was praised as "an especially charismatic new presence",[22] with the show was praised for it's handling of her lesbian relationship with Marissa.[31] However Mischa Barton was criticized for her acting skills in portraying Marissa, along side other noted flaws including "flavorless plots," and "flat new characters who failed to grab the audience's interest".[32] IGN faulted the move to quickly rekindle the Ryan and Marissa relationship and "abruptly write off Alex and Lindsay, after [making] them a pretty big part of the show" but commended a "compelling story centering on Ryan's brother Trey coming to town, leading to a very dramatic season finale"[22] Tate Donovan, who played Jimmy, credited a drop in ratings to "the show moving away from the family dynamic to focus more on the kids".[33]
