Interpretive dance magic and Roman Huberwild Jesus allegories weren't enough to keep The OA train rolling at Netflix, unfortunately.
After two seasons and 16 episodes, the streaming service has decided to not continue with the Brit Marling-led series. Season 2 answered a bunch of big questions while raising even more new ones, but you should expect no further closure after the surprising finale, which seemed to break through the fourth wall and into our reality.
"We are incredibly proud of the 16 mesmerizing chapters of The OA, and are grateful to Brit and [co-creator Zal Batmanglij] for sharing their audacious vision and for realizing it through their incredible artistry," Netflix VP of Original Content Cindy Holland said in a statement. "We look forward to working with them again in the future, in this and perhaps many other dimensions."
If you know the show well, you can see how that statement might be teasing a future Marling/Batmanglij project that lives in the same universe as The OA. Just don't start getting your hopes up; the statement could also just be a cute insider reference to help ease the pain of saying goodbye.
The OAlaunched in Dec. 2016 and quickly caused quite a stir because of its completely bananas premise and uniquely structured approach to telling the story. The series follows Marling's Prairie Johnson, a blind woman who went missing for seven years and then returned, her sight restored.
As the first season goes on, we learned more about what Prairie went through during those missing seven years, and what it is that makes her special. With many questions answered at the end of the season, and just as many new ones raised, Season 2 struck out in a new and unexpected direction.
SEE ALSO: Netflix's 'Blown Away' is your latest reality obsessionNetflix didn't have much more to say about the show returning, and the company doesn't typically share data like viewership numbers that might help subscribers understand why some shows stay and some shows go.
The fact that The OAis finished despite it receiving plenty of critical acclaim suggests that maybe viewers weren't as on board as reviews said they should be. The first season had a big viral moment, but excitement for the second set of episodes -- technically dubbed "Part II" -- never reached the same heights.
