'The OA' Canceled After Two Seasons at Netflix

“The OA” will not be back for a third season at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The mystery thriller starred Brit Marling as a blind woman who disappeared seven years ago only to suddenly return with her sight restored. Now referring to herself as The OA, or Original Angel, she then recruits a small team to help rescue other people who have disappeared by opening a portal to another dimension.

Marling co-created the series along with Zal Batmanglij in addition to starring. Both also executive produced along with Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Sarah Esberg from Plan B Entertainment and Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar.

“We are incredibly proud of the 16 mesmerizing chapters of ‘The OA,’ and are grateful to Brit and Zal for sharing their audacious vision and for realizing it through their incredible artistry,” said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content for Netflix. “We look forward to working with them again in the future, in this and perhaps many other dimensions.”

I dislike shows where I have to go online to find other people to explain what happened or the ending for me.

I hate when they try to add additional seasons to shows that have wrapped up.

The first season pulled me in and kept me watching. But the second season was a reach. Ending with the first season would have been strong enough - Stuff happens, who knows why, deal with it.
