Is OA Returning? Jason Isaacs Drops a Major Spoiler For Sci-Fi Show Coming Back After 6 Years
The series, which debuted in 2016 and ran for two seasons, was called off abruptly when the filming for Season 3 was underway.
Isaacs portrayed the role of Dr. Hunter Aloysius Percy, alongside Brit Marling, Patrick Gibson, Ian Alexander, and Phyllis Smith, among others.
Jason Isaacs spills the beans over the return of The OA
While sitting down for an interview with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the actor shared that the show is "not over yet" and the team is getting back together for the revival. Ripa went on to quip, "We were the original fans of The OA. We were diligent about our viewing; we binged it, we rewatched...at a certain point, we knew the moves.'
Isaacs claimed that it was 'impressive.' The Patriot actor went on to state that the show's makers faced protests initially due to the cancelation of the show. They performed movements outside the Netflix building. He casually mentioned, "By the way, it's not over. Not for us."
The British star further revealed that she recently had a meeting with the showrunners, Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. Isaacs shared, "We can't let it go. I was with them just a couple of weeks ago, and we have decided, whatever it takes."
While the talk show hosts cheered over hearing that the show will come back, Jason went on to conclude, "I think there's only about 40 million people around the world who want to watch it. It was a very successful show. So hopefully, they'll watch whatever we do."
Further details about The OA will be rolled out by the makers soon.

HBO unveils first look at Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter as filming begins in the UK
HBO has released the first official image from its much-anticipated television adaptation of Harry Potter, marking the beginning of production at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in the United Kingdom. The image introduces Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, the 11-year-old actor stepping into the iconic role first made famous by Daniel Radcliffe. McLaughlin will be joined by Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, forming the new generation of Hogwarts' beloved trio. The young actors were selected following an extensive casting search of British children aged 9 to 11. 'The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen,' said executive producers Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, who introduced the trio in May. They also added, 'We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.' Additional cast announcements include Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Hooch, and Anton Lesser as wandmaker Garrick Ollivander. The series is described as a 'faithful adaptation' of J.K. Rowling's bestselling novels, with one season dedicated to each book. According to HBO, the show promises to be 'full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.' The ensemble also features John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid. Other cast members include Luke Thallon as Professor Quirrell, Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley, and Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley. The series is being executive-produced by J.K. Rowling, with Francesca Gardiner also serving as writer. Mark Mylod, best known for his work on 'Succession', is among the directors attached to the project. HBO's Harry Potter is slated to premiere in 2027—exactly 30 years after the publication of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and 16 years after the release of the final instalment in the original film franchise.
