Canceled Netflix Series Gets Surprise Update 6 Years Later
This particular series left fans with a major cliffhanger, one which occurred at the end of its second season, and after six years it seemed as though that would remain the case.
While participating in an interview, one of the show's cast members opened up about a potential future for the series where it could continue.
Here's what actor Jason Isaacs had to say on Jo Whiley's BBC radio show regarding his update, noting that he has been speaking with the Netflix series' co-creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij:
'That story cannot end there,' he begins.
'Zal and Brit and I had dinner last week in Los Angeles, and there's no chance for letting it go. That's all I can say. Not because I'm keeping secrets from you, but because we will not let it go.'
The series that Isaacs is referring to is none other than The OA, a sci-fi show released by Netflix in 2016. The second season was later released in 2019. While this was the last season of the series, the show's co-creators intended it to last for a total of five seasons, so it's obvious that quite a few plot threads were left unanswered.
Fortunately, it seems as though this could also be a jumping point for a new iteration to pick up the prematurely-canceled Netflix series. While Isaacs couldn't reveal many other details on that front, it's certainly exciting to note that both he and the show's co-creators are interested in keeping the series from staying dead.
Of course, we'll have to see whether or not they succeed in getting a revival off the ground. Fans would definitely be delighted, however, so hopefully more news will follow soon. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the potential revival of The OA as we have them.

Leo Season Combined With Mercury In Retrograde Brings Bold Energy — and Major Drama
There won't be a shortage of scroll-stopping moments in the final weeks of July. Leo season kicks off on the 22nd, followed by a Leo new moon on the 24th. Oh, and Mercury is retrograde in Leo from July 18 to August 11. This cosmic recipe is stacked for drama. The only question is: Will you play an active role in the performance—or nibble on popcorn and make it a spectator sport? No matter your choice this Leo season, it wouldn't hurt to borrow the 'sensitive gangster' vibe of Love Island USA season 7 winner Amaya Espinal. Lead with your heart—but don't let people toy with your emotions. And if that means keeping your options open until someone comes along who fits the bill? So be it. Like 'Amaya Papaya,' you might just come out the winner. You can read your daily horoscope here Another Leo-coded hero to look to this month? Jessica, the fun, messy main character played by Megan Stalter in Lena Dunham's new Netflix series, Too Much. (Though we don't necessarily condone breaking into your ex's apartment or discussing UTIs at your boss's dinner party.) Even so, Stalter's Jessica lets it all hang out, which is exactly what captures the heart of British indie rocker Felix, played by Will Sharpe. This is Leo season gold! But beware: It's definitely possible to hit the oversaturation point this summer. Once Mercury is in retrograde, endearing traits can suddenly feel performative. Behaviours that once garnered rave reviews could get the old 'not tonight, babe.' And if that goes down? Well, with Mercury in reverse, self-reflection is warranted. Is it them? Is it you? Is it both of you? We like to think of self-expression happening in two separate fields: the individual field and the relational field. The individual field is all about you doing you—other people's opinions be damned. The relational field demands accountability. Are you tuning in to the other person's energy? Are you interested in meeting them where they are, while also being your authentic self? This is a skill worth polishing. At its best, Leo energy feels more like interactive theater than a Broadway performance. While Leo season is usually a time for unfettered experimentation, in 2025, we'll need to pull back a touch. But don't stem the tide of ideas that flow in. There will be many, especially near the Leo new moon on July 24. Capture them all for consideration in your Notes app, on a mood board, whatever. There are bound to be some gems in there. Mercury retrograde is a great time for reviewing all the half-started projects and plans that are gathering dust in your archives. Just save any hard launches for Virgo season, when common sense prevails once again. In the meantime, make the most of Leo's playful vibes. Dance on rooftops, flirt at swim-up bars, meet friends for umbrella drinks and ridiculous gossip. This is the zodiac sign ruled by the life-giving sun, after all, and it's time we all enjoyed that shine. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Harrison Ford gives emotional speech on last day of 'Shrinking' season 3 filming: 'Just f---ing amazing'
"I wasn't talking to you," Ford joked to costar Jason Segel after wrapping up his poignant wrap speech. Harrison Ford isn't quick to display the ooey-gooey side of his emotional range. So when he does, he really means it. Ford was captured delivering a stirring speech in a state of visible emotion on the day his Apple TV+ series, Shrinking, wrapped its third season. "You guys are the best. The very, very best - at what you do, and how you do it, and how you make people feel is just f---ing amazing," he said in a video shared on Tuesday to the streamer's official Instagram page. The American Graffiti actor, 83, looked around at the assembled cast and crew of the comedy drama during an exterior shot, and continued, "I love this place. I love working with you guys, I hope we can all get back here and do it again." Ford's co-star and one of the series' co-creators, Jason Segel, rapidly snapped Ford back to his usual, comically cantankerous self by remarking, "Yeah buddy." Ford quickly snapped back, "I wasn't talking to you," causing the whole crew to burst into laughter as he walked off his mark. Shrinking has been a major hit for everyone involved: Segel, who co-created the show alongside Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein three years after his previous attempt at helming a series, Dispatching From Elsewhere, stalled after just one season; Ford, who earned the first Emmy nomination of his career for his work on the second season; Lawrence, who's riding high after having created two hit series for Apple TV+, with Ted Lasso; and that streamer, which has been producing a high volume of quality television since its 2017 inception, but has failed to break most series through to the level of audience fervor Shrinking has series follows Segel's Jimmy Laird, a therapist who begins shocking his patients by telling them exactly what he thinks, who in turn shock him by actually implementing (or at least, attempting to implement) meaningful changes into their lives. Ford was at the center of one of the second season's most gripping storylines, as his Dr. Paul Rhoades waged a tragic battle against Parkinson's while falling for his own doctor, Julie (Wendie Malick). Ford will vie against the formidable competition of Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear), his own Shrinking costar, Michael Urie, and more for the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series trophy when the Emmys air September. As for season 3 of Shrinking, while no premiere date has been announced, stars Segel and Jessica Williams did tease what fans can expect to see. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in June, Segel revealed, "Each season we have a word that is our true north for the theme of the season. Season 1 was 'grief,' season 2 was 'forgiveness,' and season 3 — I acknowledge that this is two words — is 'moving forward.'"
