The official trailer for season two of The OA has been released by Netflix, as well as the season’s release date.
It’s been a long time to wait for fans of Netflix’s mind-bending sci-fi drama The OA, with season one airing back in 2016. They can rejoice now, however, as Netflix has released a trailer for the second season of the show and announced that it will debut on March 22nd.
The series stars Brit Marling as Praire (who also created the show) and the second season (dubbed Part II) will see her character and Jason Isaac’s Hap teleport themselves to another dimension thanks to the climactic events of season one.
Speaking to EW about the upcoming season, Marling said: “It was really delicious to dive back into a realm you had been intimate with and land in the body of someone who had not been through all the experiences we watch Prairie go through in Part I.”
The show’s co-creator Zal Batmanglij commented: “We think of Part II as very much a noir. We wanted to come in through the character of a cynical detective. Films like The Big Sleep didn’t seem antiquated [when they came out]. They were very modern. That’s why we thought, ‘What better place than San Francisco and the tech world to set a noir today?’”
A synopsis for The OA season two can be found below:
The “mind-bending” story returns with The OA Part II, which follows OA as she navigates a new dimension, one in which she had a completely different life as a Russian heiress, and one in which she once again finds herself as Hap’s captive. Part II introduces Karim Washington, a private detective tasked with finding a missing teen, Michelle Vu. His path crosses with OA, as they try to solve the mystery of Michelle’s whereabouts and a house on Nob Hill connected to the disappearance of several teenagers. Meanwhile, back in the first dimension, BBA, Angie and the boys find themselves on a journey to understand the truth behind OA’s story and the incredible realities she described.
