Netflix has a new bit of genre programming gearing up for us all to binge upon, and we’ve got your details on “The OA” right here! Dig in!
From the Press Release:
The Netflix original series “The OA,” which launches this Friday, December 16th, is from visionaries Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij (Sound of My Voice, The East), who created and wrote the eight-chapter, mind-bending odyssey together. The show begins with a missing blind girl in her twenties, Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), who comes home to the community she grew up in with her sight restored. Some hail her a miracle, others a dangerous mystery, but Prairie won’t talk about her seven years missing with the FBI or her parents.
Other cast members include Emory Cohen (Brooklyn, The Place Beyond the Pines), Scott Wilson (“The Walking Dead,” Junebug), Phyllis Smith (“The Office”), Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Fury, Dig), Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact, Silent Hill), Patrick Gibson (“The Tudors”), Brendan Meyer (Mr. Young, The Guest), and newcomers Ian Alexander and Brandon Perea.
Marling stars in the series, and Batmanglij directs all episodes. Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Sarah Esberg from Plan B (Oscar-winning producers of 12 Years a Slave) and Michael Sugar from Anonymous Content (“True Detective,” “The Knick”) are executive producers of the series, along with Marling and Batmanglij. “The OA” is a Netflix production.
