Netflix Unveils Trailer for Mystery Drama “The OA”

The good folks over at Netflix have been making some major moves in the way of original programming. The first season of Stranger Things largely focused on the disappearance of Will Byers.

The main character Prairie Johnson, played by actress and writer Brit Marling, is a twenty-something woman who had gone missing for seven years.

The online streaming service released the trailer for its new series, The OA, on Monday.

Netflix, however, did not announce what time the new series would be released, but we have a pretty good idea when to expect the release time. We’d go so far as to say that we’re more excited about this than even some of Netflix’s other recent projects.

Who is Prairie? Why does the trailer show her willingly put her head into a goldfish bowl?

Although it definitely has that Stranger Things vibe, the trailer doesn’t give MUCH away…

The creators are the team behind the 2013 thriller The East: Brit Marling, who stars, and Zal Batmanglij, who directs all eight episodes.

Marling’s costars include “Brooklyn’s” Emory Cohen, “The Walking Dead’s” Scott Wilson, and “Harry Potter” star Jason Isaacs. Through some miracle, Prairie makes her way back home to her parents after seven years with her eyesight restored. We don’t know what she means, and we also don’t know what “OA” stands for, but for now, we’re going with it.
