Netflix's The OA stunned everyone last year by becoming one of the popular online streaming shows of 2016. Despite releasing weeks before the year ended, the show rose to fame in no time and was soon renewed for season 2.
The cliff-hanger finale of season 1 has fans eagerly waiting for the second season. With new official teasers surfacing online, a slew of speculations has started doing the rounds sending fans berserk. While Brit Marling did not spill the beans on the storyline of the upcoming season, she did tease the fans with some spoilers.

The OA co-creator was attending the Vulture Festival in New York when she revealed a few insights into the show's making.
The Inspiration:
"I think [Quentin] Tarantino said at some point along the way that, violence is uniquely cinematic. And he's right, it's true. You can read a passage that's very violent in a novel and it's moving, but when you watch it onscreen, it takes on a visceral potency that you can't find on the page," she said.
"So [co-creator Zal Batmanglij and I] started asking ourselves, is there something else that's also uniquely cinematic that is a kind of antidote to violence? And that felt like movement," she added, Bustle reported.
The most talked about aspect of the show, the movements, have been choreographed by Ryan Heffington, the man behind Maddie Ziegler's stunning performance in Sia's "Chandelier" dance video. The cast trained for five months before taping it.
About Season 2:
Calling it Part 2, the actress revealed that there will be definitely more than three seasons. Talking to Goldderby, she said, "There's definitely more story to tell so we were happy to leave the audience in a place of wonderment rather than stitching it all up. We're taking our own leap of faith in telling this story. We don't know if we get to tell one part or we get to tell three, four, who knows. But you want it to feel like a delicious novel where you get to the end of it and it meant something and it had something to say and left you with something and you'd love to get the next book if it comes out."
Regardless of the seasons, Marling assures she already knows the ending and the show will "solve all the mystery boxes," Bustle reported.
The announcement on season 2 was made in February. The new season will continue from where it ended, the shooting at the school, and new episodes will premiere as early as 2018.
The complete first season of The OA is available on Netflix.
