Canceled Netflix Series Gets Surprise Update 6 Years Later
With so many shows being available on Netflix, that means plenty of cancellations in addition to those being renewed, and some fans are devastated as their favorite shows are seemingly dropped forever. Now, however, one canceled Netflix series has received a surprising update six years following its cancellation.
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.
