Netflix announced on Feb. 8, that the mystery thriller, "The OA" has been renewed for a second season.
The streaming giant made the announcement with a 15-second promo on Wednesday. Like "Stranger Things," the drama had been kept under wraps at Netflix before its debut on Dec. 16, and although the series did not create as much buzz as the Winona Ryder series, "The OA" did enough to be picked up for another season.
"The OA," which saw the reunion of Sundance veterans Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, follows the story of an adopted blind woman (played by Marling) who suddenly resurfaces after going missing seven years earlier, according to The Independent. With her sight restored, she returns home with mysterious scars on her body and refers to herself as the OA. She refuses to reveal her secret to anyone but a group of five locals and asks them for help to find other missing people who vanished just like her.
"From the very beginning when we were on our own daydreaming a story, we definitely thought how can we construct something that, many seasons out, has a satisfying end? So there is an end and there is an answer to every riddle and nothing is done to just be sound and fury going nowhere," Marling told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about the possibility of a second season.
"It all goes somewhere. And as to whether or not we get to tell that, I certainly hope that we do," she added. "There is a place that season two already begins in our minds and a place in which it ends."
Marling stars alongside Jason Isaacs, Emory Cohen, Scott Wilson, Alice Krige, Patrick Gibson, Brandon Meyer, Brandon Perea, Ian Alexander and Phyllis Smith. Batmanglij directed all eight episodes of the first season and also served as executive producer with Marling as well as Plan B's Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner and Anonymous Content's Michael Sugar.
