It’s been one hell of a long wait for season 2 of The OA but now we know The OA returns in March! It’s been over two years since the first season’s release, and it’s safe to say fans are eager for more. With release imminent, here’s all you’ll need to know for season two of The OA, including cast, plot, release date, and trailer.
The OA is a Netflix Original sci-fi drama created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. Marling herself stars in the lead role as Praire, while Batmanglij directs the series. The first season was released in late 2016, so it’s been a long wait for The OA’s fierce and loyal fanbase. There was radio silence on renewal for a long time, and many fans thought that Netflix had given the series the boot. To great joy, the series was renewed, but it’s been one hell of a long wait for the release of the second season.

What to expect: The OA Season 2
It’s hard to predict what’s going to happen in a show like The OA. An official synopsis was given alongside the release of the promotional material:
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.
