Nashville is giving us one seriously awesome ‘The O.C.’ reunion

Orange County is headed for “Nashville,” and now we’ve got the photo to prove it!

“The O.C.” alums, Chris Carmack and Rachel Bilson — a.k.a. Summer Roberts and Luke Ward — shared a behind the scenes photo from the set of “Nashville,” which Bilson recently joined as a series regular. Their caption pretty much hit us with a huge dose of Newport nostalgia.

The only possible better quote would have been, “You know what I like about Nashville? Nothing!” But we get how that might be kind of off-brand for them…

Bilson’s addition to the show comes right on the heels of Connie Britton’s on-screen departure. No one can truly fill the Queen of Country’s shoes, now that Rayna has passed away, but we’re happy to watch Bilson round out the cast with some much needed female support.

Details on Bilson’s character and what’s she’s doing in Nashville are still being kept tightly under wraps, but we do know two things: She’ll be visiting Highway 65 (if Bilson’s Instagram is any indication) and she keeps things pretty buttoned up. The plaid shirt under the black dress look is a pretty big change up from Juliette’s (Hayden Panettiere) short skirts or Scarlett (Clare Bowen) and Maddie’s (Lennon Stella) hipster-chic style.

Luckily Bilson’s got quite a bit of experience with the deep south, having starred on The CW’s “Hart of Dixie” for four years.

“Nashville” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CMT.
