Ladies and Gentleman, the wait is over, the time has come. The OA season two trailer has finally arrived, and the premiere date announced! Earlier Wednesday, Netflix released the trailer for The OAĀ season two, and does it look just as bizarre and mysterious asĀ season oneās trailer.Ā
If you have no idea what Iām talking about, go watch season one of The OA on Netflix and then we can talk. The series stars Brit Marling, Jason Isaacs, Patrick Gibson, Emory Cohen and Phyllis Smith among many. Go! Watch! Right now!
Anyway! Back to the trailerā¦
Along with a tweet from Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling —Ā the showās creators and lead actress — The OA season two trailer plunged into the world Wednesday morningĀ and was given a set release date of March 22nd. We can all sleep in peace nowā¦ the wait is over.
Brit Marling tweeted out the trailer Wednesday morning along with a message to fans of the show, tweeting: āitās been a long time coming but itās coming… love to u all for being patientā signing off with a heart emoji.Ā
WhileĀ Zal Batmanglij urges fans to not watch the mysterious trailer. Instead, he suggests going into season two like the first season, knowing nothing. On Wednesday tweeting: āHonestly, don’t watch this [trailer] and don’t read anything. Go into it dark. Much more fun that way…ā Wellā¦ — too late for me! And technically youā¦ but please! Continue reading on, for juicy details from the new trailer.
It seems season two will in fact take place in another dimension. Plot-twist! But not really. In fact, the trailer somehow has a different feel to it, almost as if the show has a new genre. It could be possible that eachĀ new season will have a different genre of its own. As Brit Marling once saidĀ in an Instragram note from November 2018: “Our chapters vary in length, scope, and even genre. There is no pattern.” New genre or not, the trailerĀ still entails all the mystery and cathartic confusion season one gave us. Cathartic confusion? Is that a thing? Well it is now.Ā
The trailer starts with The OA waking up in a hospital room. From there, sheās asked by a nurse ā just as the pilot episode ā a series of questions. How many fingers the nurse is holding up, what year it is, and who the president is. Since the show takes place in 2016 she rightly answers Barack Obama. But to our surprise, the nurse has no idea who Barack Obama is, and it looks as if nobody from season two knows who he is as well. The scene cuts to black, and The OA whispers: āI did it!ā Did the five movements work? Are we in fact in another dimension? Yes! And most definitely yes!
Was I right or was I right? Did I not say in my article ā5 āThe OAā Theories That Will Blow Your Mindā that season two would in fact take place in a different dimension? Well, technically I said it would take place within Homerās NDE in a different dimension — but hey, thatās beside the point and itās still plausible. I don’t know… a lot of those theories could still happen. Trust me. I still believeĀ itās possible. It could happen!
Itās been a long time coming. Perhaps that is an understatement. Itās been TWO YEARS! For crying out loud,Ā I am so satisfied that season two is only a month away that it feels as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have been so obsessed with this show that I even learned the five movements in their entirety! Iām still waiting for that portal to a different dimension to open thoughā¦ Iād try recruiting five people on Craigslist to do them with meĀ in an abandoned house, but I think Itād just look like Iām starting a cult.
So for now, Iāll just eagerly waitĀ for March 22nd…
Whether you are holding off on The OAās season two trailer and going into it blindly — pun actually not intended, but hey it works so what the hell (The OA fans knows what I’m talking about)Ā ā or youāve waited long enough and thereās no way youāre not watching it, you can find the trailer for part IIĀ of Netflixās The OA below.
