Rachel Bilson says she is game for a reboot of "The OC" but she knows at least "eight people" who would not come on board for the hit teenage drama's return.

The 36-year-old actor, who played the role of Summer Roberts in the show 15 years ago, joked that any revival would have to be named 'Summer Time in the OC' after her character.

"I mean, I would do it. I'll tell you about three people that wouldn't do it - five people? Six people? Eight people, let's be honest," Bilson told ET.

The actor recalled her time on the sets of the show, which also starred Ben McKenzie, Adam Brody, Mischa Barton, Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan, among others.

"It was pretty crazy. I guess I didn't really know what to expect. I think we kind of felt like, 'Oh, this could be a special thing'. It was a weird time, but it was a lot of fun," she said.

In the new show, Bilson plays Sam Swift, a TV star from a hit cop show who is trying to restore her image and she said her role has certain shades of Summer to it.

"Summer was so long ago that I don't really remember what she's like. She was a lot younger, but I think you always bring a part of yourself to a character," she said.
