The OA is one of those moments when you realise something extremely important is happening and you are lucky enough to be a part of the experience. Netflix dropped something with no real understanding of its uniqueness , importance, depth, magic and peculiar magnetic reach. Instead they went down the route of re-runs of Friends.

if no one brings back this show, i'm gonna lose my shit. this is masterpiece. you can't just cancel shows like that and keep producing some shitty ones.

I will never stop waiting for the other seasons. We need all five! As a book, a leaked script, anything

"That's deep." Once again I am sobbing because of what Brit Marling says 🥲 I am so happy I binged the show in 2 days and am listening to this. I feel like I did acid or shrooms this weekend. But was completely sober. It was the most refreshing show I have ever seen.

the oa is one of the best shows i ve ever seen ... and i ve seen a lot of shows

Brit Marling is a Genius. She had a absolutely brilliant crew and amazing cast who I can't imagine anyone else playing those roles. Netflix has made one its most brilliant decisions to produce this show and even more brilliant to allow for a second season. The movement in the show is stunning.

I was completely blown away by the OA, and even more surprised when I learned that Season 3 has been cancelled. Why on earth the very best show on Netflix has to be cancelled? I mean I like Stranger Things, but I didn't rewatch the whole season of it. And I did it for the OA. Brit Marling's talent is just impressive, and now I know she's such a nice and lovely lady as well. I joined the petition for revival.

So basically, all you need to know is that Brit IS the OA, which is why even a boring promo interview with her seems so religious. She is naturally like The OA, because it is her.

I have watched The OA many many times. And every single time when I watch it, the moment when the soundtrack starts in the first episode, I break down crying. Even now I got goosebumps as I wrote that. I mean The OA is not just a "Netflix series", it's art. I have never felt this strongly about any series before. The OA will always be there to comfort me and remind me about life and its mysteries..

Absolutely my favorite show in the entire history of the world. This show literally healed my own soul as I watched it.

The OA made me feel things I didn't know I could feel. Brit is an incredibly wise and thoughtful woman and I'm inspired by everything she says. I'm trying to take the OA as mere inspiration, food for thought, but sometimes I feel myself slipping towards building some kind of a cult or a religion around it. It just really spoke to me and it's a little hard to accept that it was just human-made. Still trying to work it out.

I’m still SO fvcking depressed this show was canceled. Leave it to Netflix to buy the streaming rights for every season of FRIENDS for 100 MILLION DOLLARS, but cancels one of the most interesting, emotional, and just plain amazing shows I’ve ever seen in my life because of money.. 😡 At this point I feel like almost everyone on earth has seen every episode of FRIENDS at least once…not to mention it STILL comes on tv every single night. Ridiculous. Use THAT money and invest in shows like The OA that have awesome and unique storylines. Also, the Part 1 finale in the cafeteria was such an emotional scene for me and still to this day, after rewatching the show over again; once that cafeteria scene comes, I cry like a baby.

Sooooo can they please bring this show back. I need season 3!!!

She's so beautiful and you can see how much she loves her work smiling the entire time she's speaking about it.

I cried when I watched The OA for the second time.

Havent watched OA since season 2 was released, I REALLY dont think its done. With all the hints, 37s, and other thought prevoking things Brit and zal have posted to social media since the show was cancelled, i think its some sort of continuation of the story?! Prairie and the others land in "this reality". Where we are now. I REALLY hope im not wrong and we do see the conclusion of their stories. Thank you Brit and Zal for writing, producing, and staring in such a absolutely BRILLIANT show!

One of the best series ever, please allow us to continuing watching. For me the serie was a journey to somewhere hidden inside us

This show really touched me in a way that's hard to explain. I feel a little less alone & anxious when I watch it. 🌌

hands down this is the BEST interview I have ever seen. The best interview on any subject, ever. The OA is the most intriguing story I have ever seen and my favorite. I can not wait for more answers. Until then I will keep watching, rewatching, thinking and learning.

I have to stop watching Brit Marling interviews, I think I'm falling in love.

Allowing the show to exist on it's own terms was exactly what was needed for the OA. Season 1 was good enough to a point but went in a weird way that was hard to 100% be on board with for me. Season 2 sealed it as an absolute gem of a show, it actually cleans up season 1 in a really great way for me. The OA plays a long game that requires the viewer to accept imperfections to achieve a much larger type of perfection. It isn't so much a show, but a world of thought. The show just feels like something I want in my life.

The OA is completely different in the best possible way! Now I see why. She is amazing inside and outside the serie. THANK YOUUUUU

Netflix dropped the ball when they didn't bring the OA to some semblance of resolution with a final season. The show is ahead of it's time in my opinion

Wow, amazing... Brit Marling is such a wonderful human and I am so happy she is creatively representing and communicating the human psyche.

I wish I could meet her, this guy is so lucky. Even before this show came out, I was following a lot of the theories touched on in the show. The theories that life is compiled of endless dimensions within/on top of each other that change based on our choices, and that when we die, we travel through these dimensions. I remember deep conversations with my uncle, talking about exactly what this show touched on.

This was the best show that could have ever been made ever in the history of the universe. The chills I get every time I rewatch both parts at certain points is something I KNOW I will NEVER experience with any other show ever. To be able to do that for an audience should feel incredible. I learn something new every time I watch it, so much so that I swear it was a scene that wasn’t included the last time I watched it. And I’ve watched this entire show a good 10 times now. It begins to make more and more sense to me and I love it more and more. I’ve never been more obsessed with a show in my life and I will continue to rewatch it over and over until the story is complete. I am so glad I came across such a magnificent show.

NEVER ACCEPT **YOUR*** REALITY AS "ENOUGH," OR ACTUAL "REALITY." Maybe Brit is an angel even if she doesn't know it. This is her expression of the amalgam of her experiences. We were robbed of the rest of this story's arc, but the answers are always all around you.

I hope that one day we will still have a 3rd season. Or that Brit manages to produce it somehow, even if it's under another name, or that Netflix sells the series to another streaming service. I do not know . Let something happen. Wonderful series. It needs a conclusion. It gave me new perspectives on life. I even started reading different books because of the series. It's another universe, it transcends this conventional and mediocre thing where we are.

This is amazing story telling. This show was life-changing for me and I'm so heartbroken netflix decided to rip it away.

she is such a pure and mesmerizing human. literally in love.

I love how she has the opportunity to immerse herself in this story so thoroughly through acting and writing and even outside of that learning aspects of other peoples lives, it really leaves a resonating and resounding melody that really reaches you. Hell who needs cgi when you can create something so moving without it. This story is so perfectly raw organic and professionally put together which is important to really reach everybody. It’s just all so beautifully put together and i was incredibly moved by its honesty and transcendent beauty of conquering trauma and healing others through healing yourself. You never know how simply a retelling of your own pain and experience can really help and inspire another person.

She has such a beautiful, calming, awakened voice! I love her, she seems to be on such a different level than most people, it’s amazing 💚

I’m so happy to have found this interview, I have a huge smile on my face right now. Great interview with such an intelligent and thoughtful human being. Brit radiates honesty and happiness, like whatever the path to enlightenment is, she’s got to be well on her way to moksha - I’m speechless!

I remember watching the end of Part 1 thinking she is definitely going to another dimension, and then my entire family was like no I think she's making it all up!

the oa is like the opposite world to stranger things with a sense of divine duality

She is light. The OA is the best show I’ve ever seen.

Seriously the best interview I've seen about OA.

The OA is an emotional show, well written, they don't just tell the story but also make you ask yourself a lot of question about life too, and thank you Gold Derby for always come up with such good interview and even some question I haven't heard it elsewhere.

How has your channel not blown up?! My god, what a relief to find a channel that is intelligent and doesn't suck up to the talent! Please keep going, you have a treasure on your hands. You just need some branding and word-of-mouth to get your channel in front of more eyeballs.

Love her since Another earth, lol didn't even know she acted and co-created OA at first and was so thrilled to learn that and binge it.

I loved the teacher in the movie she was brilliant!

If you want action and clearly defined plot this show is not for you. If you are a deep thinker, drawn to the supernatural and a plot that encourages discussion and concepts then this show is most definitely for you. Artistic and brilliant acting and music make this a must see. Unfortunately Netflix has cancelled it after 2 seasons so please #WatchTheOA now and help the fans #SaveTheOA. Be blessed.

I was drawn to this show because ive experienced similar transcending events. As if an Angel jumping dimensions, future seeing, NDE, etc. To some of us, this is more fact than fiction.

I want more of The OA. BRIT is brilliant ♥️

I was born dying, bedridden for 6 years facing death in every moment, and entered other ways of dying for close to 73 years (it became an obsession). At 16, after a serious suicide attempt, I began tapping into other dimensions of perception not accessible except by being in a state of death/dying, and stayed dying in many other ways throughout my life (faced with execution at age 20, and dreamed in vivid detail every form of execution). I found a methodology where I could camp out on the exact line of demarcation between death and life, and it always resulted in grand clarity. I eventually became friends with Death & sought his company in exploring other dimensions of perception. I recorded a lot of this in a novel many years ago, 1st in a trilogy. The only film from the past that tapped into this territory was Pascal Laugier's "Martyrs". Amazing series.

I'm pretty sure Brit is THE OA irl :)

Beautiful interview, really insightful and eloquent, from you both... I feel ashamed - I hadn't spotted EITHER the 5 cracks OR understood that was actually Braille! I think I speak for many when I say I was heartbroken when Netflix decided to can the show, after Season 2. I appreciate it was a 'numbers' issue - production cost to audience loyalty ratio, I suppose, put bluntly. But Netflix could/should have better estimated the complexity of the gamble, ahead of outbidding their main competitors for all 5 Seasons. This wasn't new territory for them - they'd just gone through the process with Sense8, their most expensive show to date. Having failed to just shut the show down, Netflix found itself coerced - by the sheer force of the Sense8 fan following - to acquiesce to the final movie-length "winding up" episode, which gave the production team the chance at least to finish the job. That doesn't seem to have ever been on the table with The OA, I've not seen Brit refer to any artistic/creative 'solution' on Netflix's part, which is actually pretty appalling. Because - it isn't - in reality - just a 'numbers' issue. There is an extremely precious artistic and creative 'exchange,' something intrinsically 'human,' going on between the Creators and the Audience directly - that you isolate and highlight wonderfully in this interview. That unique experience that Creator and Viewer share, at the end of the day is what the Audience is actually after, and which it is Netflix's role to merely 'facilitate.' Perhaps Creators can try to have this added to future contracts - that Netflix is actually prevented from being able to cancel a show without warning, as it did with "The OA." A year on, and I still feel the vacuum - emotionally, artistically, creatively, hell "Humanly" - the shock announcement that Seasons 3 - 5 would not be made, has left. In my opinion, Netflix needs to recalibrate its 'policy' around defining the conditions under which it feels compelled to cancel a show. They need to factor in the 'damage' cancellation inflicts on their relationship with their audience, who - after all - are ultimately bankrolling everything. And sometimes, some masterpieces - and The OA is undoubtedly a masterpiece - are masterpieces for their quality, not just their 'quantity' in terms of the ratings/viewing figures they generate. It is both absurd and unsustainable in the long term, to decide the fate of especially high-quality projects such as The OA, based solely on the efficiency of their commercial 'turn-around.' If that is the priority criteria, then in my opinion Netflix could get rid of all their surplus to requirements execs, which in turn would halve the cost for the audience, and run the whole show via a couple of bespoke algorithms! The execs are there to ensure mistakes like this are not made, that Netflix does not damage the careers or output of the Creators they choose to acquire, especially not those in Brit Marling's league - so that 1st class talent will still feel able to trust, and want to bring their work to Netflix. My understanding is that Zal and Brit wrote all 5 Seasons, putting the complete product out to auction, and that Netflix aggressively outbid Amazon, Disney etc, to acquire the title, (correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I heard.) Under those conditions, Netflix should have honoured its' obvious enthusiasm - ideally to the complete project it bid for, or at the very least giving Brit and Zal a chance in a re-written S3, to condense the remainder of the story, and deliver a completed work, not a suddenly decapitated mess mid-way, as has been the case. The Audience are paying for this, they are the client here, to whom Netflix ought to feel beholden. And - traditionally - "Client is King." It is not the Audience's concern whether a show is deemed 'not to be representing its' cost.' Netflix should have onboard sufficiently experienced TV executives, to avoid it ever finding itself in that catastrophic situation, frankly. Had there ever been the slightest doubt within Netflix about the nature of the gamble they were taking with "The OA," that should have immediately curbed the aggressiveness with which they bid to net the title. That didn't happen, and that is something I sincerely hope Netflix are/have reflected long and hard on. And I repeat, I think there is room here for contractual adjustments, moving forward, that defend Creators - especially those of the quality of Marling and Batlanglij - from 'knee-jerk corporate decision-making" that fails to appreciate how such cancellation decisions inevitably lead to a loss of trust between Netflix and their Audience, their "Client." Which in turn morphs into a loss of loyalty, and ultimately depleted Subscriber numbers, as disappointed and 'deprived' audiences start to abandon the platform.

I love this show. Very disappointed it didn’t continue-but sometimes things end up more powerful when left with your own questions; rather than being fed an answer.

I haven’t seen a series as compelling as the OA since LOST

The OA is one of the, if not the best, show I have ever seen! It is absolutely amazing! And I’m so excited to see the next season! Only a little more than a week!

Really hope the OA will continue .. thanks so much for this beautiful creation which opens our minds

I love this interview so much! I've been thinking about studying/pursuing film and I love The OA - everything about it is inspiring, especially the writing. It is such a profound, unique, and special story. It means a lot to me and I am extremely inspired by Brit and Zal.

What an awesome interview! I love this show and it is wonderful to see how eloquent and intelligent Brit Marling is; also the interviewer (I am so sorry I don’t know his name) is very insightful and a strong professional, as well. Great job, guys. I hope you are showing it in Brazil...I know they will love this show too.

I must say, this is a wonderful interview. The questions are all very interesting, and it was a pleasure to get Brit Marling's insight on the series and the different topics that are covered. I wish more interviews were like this :)

Parallel universe it feels. Your personality traits made me get rid of the unnecessary things in life and made me focus on truth. It was definitely metaphoric, made me feel skeptic because of personal life events experienced. Thank you for the narrative. See you in another life.

Also, this was one of the best interviews I've ever seen; Gold Derby is eloquent and thoughtful and very nice!! Thank you!! Brit Marling is also such a fucking darling, so sweet and validating and well spoken. (Such a great pair for this interview, like they were on the same level, so refreshing to see)

made me sad, happy and wanting more. what a great show.

This was a very enjoyable interview with fantastic questions. Brit exudes passion and wonderment in her answers and is so inspirational. It's been a couple of years since I watched the show but it's so memorable that I could recall the images clear in my mind while watching the video. I'm glad at least 2 seasons were made though I wish we lived in the reality where there were more.

Brit explains complicated things well giving us a look inside the window of her mind.

Just finished watching season 2 which I Waited which seems like eternity and I'm literally obsessed and in aww of how amazing this show is. I can't wait another year n a half to watch the 3rd part..Brit I finally getting the reconision she deserves what a brilliant woman..

What an intelligent, amazing young lady. Fantastic series and imagine the work they all put in.

Oh my goodness she’s still explaining everything??! I can wait til the next chapter bc I can’t wait fer how good it’s gonna be lol😅 but honestly I know know there has to be another installment, it’s so beautiful how it feels like it always allowed and shown the fact she/they wrote such a beautiful story in what sounds like she. They allowed all voices to tell stories❤

Awesome interview, show gave me everything ,ive wanted to feel and experience, thru books and thoughts I've had in my lifetime thank you, I want more ,ready for season 2

I felt so connected to the characters!! Now I moss my friends! Season 3 plzzz! I could watch this forever! So many episode possibilities!

Great interview. Amazing questions. Absolutely worth watching this video. 'Thank you for taking the time to talk.' Isn't she a darling?

I reaaly hoped to see Khatun more often, the Arabic and Russian and the movement

Set the show aside. She is the most authentic listener and responder. Blown away I hope I can meet her someday! So curious what would have happened if Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof got her on board for Lost. I really hope Session 3,4,5 will get turned into books if we can't get them back on the air. Someone has to be chomping at the bits to write these next chapters of this story.

Fantastic interview. Enjoyed every moment of it!

best show i have ever watched! I cant wait for the next chapter, hopefully it will be coming sometime at the end of this year

I only just found this show and am so in love with it, I can't believe it only has 2 seasons!!

Beautifully said! I love going in to any movie/show without seeing everything already through previews! Some of my favorites ever like "The Game" I came to the theater knowing anything at all. The worst 2 words on television "coming up"

Gold Derby + Rob Licuria, Help us #SaveTheOA - The OAngelists

OA is my favorite show ever on netflix! im watching it a second time all the way through...

There is a common correlation between mental heath and spiritual awakenings. If you're interested in this then you MUST watch Legion... But yeah, there's plenty of articles (the more interesting ones on Reddit) about mental heath and conditions and spiritual missions, agendas, beliefs etc... Some articles give me Goosebumps

I honestly just melt every time Brit marling smiles

Amazing interview!!

I was so excited to watch this. I've been like where's that OA second season. I had no idea it had blown up so much. I'm not a media girl, so it was just my little thing. Anyway THANKS

By Netflix not marketing the show, I think that was OA’s downfall. Not enough people knew enough about the show to give it a chance. Such a shame 🙁 What a great show.

we need more seasons

Great questions! I love this interview.

the oa was amazing. looking forward to seeing more from these artists.

No wonder I loved it so much! it left everything to be experienced in the moment. Best thing I’ve ever seen 💜🙏🏼

This is a great interview.

Great interview!!

Love her work. The OA was no exception. Can't wait for season 2.....

I wish she would finish the story with books.

I think Im In love with you Brit. Your write is AMAZING! Best story I’ve ever digested (for the lack of a better word) ❤️✌️

Brilliant interview.

Definately the very best most creative and entertaining show I’ve seen in many yrs !

Bring it back.

Please tell me the rest of the story is coming…. Killing me that Netflix would cancel this gem of a show!!! Save The OA!!!

She's such a wonderful artist.

She is amazing and so well spoken! She was born for this.

Hah! What she says at 23:00 that is exactly how I felt about the movements! Just like, I don't get it but I want that.

what an amazing interview

Wow,Brit Marling is amazing and genuine person.

Her smile is something angelic for real.

i love listening to her talk

I love this show, I like shows that you have to think and boy is this one of them. I have to watch it again as it was crammed with info I know i did not get first time round. I do not buy DVDs unless they have layers as soon as this one comes out I will be buying it as no matter how much I watch it I know that there will be new things I have missed 10/10

When the questions are good, she's a wonderful interview. This is a great one. Nice job, GD.
