Shocker! 'The OA' Gets Cancelled at Netflix After Two Seasons

As much as Netflix is in the news with the barrage of shows that come in on the streaming service left, right and center; for the past few months, it has been in the news for the multiple and many cancellations that it practices.

Joining that bandwagon and actually turning out to rather shocking is the trippy drama, The OA. According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, the show has gotten canceled after two critically acclaimed seasons.

"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 Netflix head of originals Cindy Holland. "We look forward to working with them again in the future, in this and perhaps many other dimensions." 

Created and exec produced by Marling and Batmanglij, who directed, the show starred Marling as Prairie Johnson, a woman who resurfaces after going missing for seven years. Now called "The OA," she can see despite being blind before she disappeared.

The eight-episode drama landed at Netflix following a multiple network bidding war and marked the indie darling (Sound of My Voice) duo's third collaboration and first for TV. Plan B's (12 Years a Slave) Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner executive produce alongside Anonymous Content's (True Detective, The Knick) Michael Sugar.
