Watch: The Long Awaited Second Season of Netflix's 'The OA' is Almost Here
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
The follow up to Netflix's mystery drama "The OA" is right around the corner, and the streaming service teased the new installment with a trailer Wednesday.
After debuting it in late 2016, the series, created by Zak Batmanglij and the show's star Brit Marling, earned a strong following. The show followed Prairie/OA (Marling) when she returns home after missing for years. As a little girl, she was blind, but she has returned with her full sight. The season explores her past and the powers she may or may not have.
The follow-up, dubbed "The OA: Part 2" finds OA in a "new dimension" where she has a totally different life – a rich woman living in San Francisco. And, according to the trailer, Barack Obama was never president.
"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," Marling told Entertainment Weekly.
"We think of Part II as very much a noir," Batmanglij, added. "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?'"
"The OA: Part 2" hits Netflix on March 22. Check out the trailer below.
