‘THE O.C.” isn’t coming back with new episodes until November – but there is hope for the “O.C.” obsessed.

The first of two “O.C.” specials – including outtakes, recaps, cast interviews and a preview of the upcoming season – airs tonight.

It ain’t “The O.C.” – but it’ll have to do until the real thing comes along.

The show’s second season won’t start until Nov. 4 because Fox’s fall schedule will be devoted to baseball playoffs and the World Series.
