Cast

 

From left to right: New additions to the cast: D.J., Lindsay, Zach and Alex.

The second season had star billing for nine major roles. Peter Gallagher as Sandy Cohen, Kelly Rowan as Kirsten Cohen, Ben McKenzie as Ryan Atwood, Mischa Barton as Marissa Cooper, Adam Brody as Seth Cohen, Melinda Clarke as recently married Julie Cooper-Nichol and Rachel Bilson as Summer Roberts all returned to the main cast. Tate Donovan also initially reprised his role as Jimmy Cooper, but was written out of the series in the seventh episode.^[30] However Donovan returned with Jimmy as a guest star in the season finale.^[31] Alan Dale, as newly wed Caleb Nichol, joined the main cast, having previously been a recurring role.^[3] Former main cast member Chris Carmack, who portrayed Luke Ward, only guest starred in the first episode.

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,^[32] Marissa, Summer, Ryan and Seth, who are all single now.^[33]

Actors returning as guest stars included Amanda Righetti (as Hailey Nichol), Michael Nouri (as Dr. Neil Roberts), Navi Rawat (as Theresa Diaz), Brian McNamara (as Carson Ward), Kim Oja (as Taryn Baker) and Linda Lavin (as The Nana).^[34][35] Ryan's brother Trey Atwood also returned, but Logan Marshall-Green replaced Bradley Stryker in portraying him.^[36] Other guest stars in new recurring roles included Billy Campbell, as magazine editor Carter Buckley,^[37] Kim Delaney, as Sandy's ex-fiancée Rebecca Bloom,^[38] Johnny Messner, as Julie's ex-boyfriend Lance Baldwin,^[37] Kathleen York, as mother of Caleb's illegitimate child Renee Wheeler,^[39] Nikki Griffin as party girl and drug addict Jess Sathers^[40] and Marguerite Moreau, as Reed Carlson the Vice President of a graphic novel company, and Max Burkholder as a child in airport, with a toy similar to Captain Oats, in "The Rainy Day Women" ^[41]

Reception

The second season was widely received as inferior to the first,^[42] but it has been noted that this may be slightly unfair.^[43] The show moved to "ultra-competitive Thursday"^[44] nights which Schwartz described as a "real vote of confidence [from] the network",^[45] 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.^[46][47] The move improved FOX's performance at the new time slot, but lost the show viewers.^[48] The season premiere attracted 8.6 million viewers,^[49] but average viewing figures decreased thirty percent from the previous season to 7 million.^[50]

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.^[51] The introduction of bisexual character Alex, was praised as "an especially charismatic new presence",^[43] with the show was praised for its handling of her lesbian relationship with Marissa.^[52] However Mischa Barton was criticized for her acting skills in portraying Marissa, alongside other noted flaws including "flavorless plots," and "flat new characters who failed to grab the audience's interest".^[53] 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"^[43] 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".^[54]

DVD release

The DVD release of season two was released by Warner Bros. in the US on August 23, 2005, after it had completed broadcast on television. As well as every episode from the season, the DVD release features bonus material including a gag reel, audio commentary and a fashion featurette.
