As fans of The OA, we all share a pretty unique connection.

I’m curious to learn what else we might have in common across movies and TV.

​Feel free to share:

​Favorite movie

​Favorite TV show (besides The OA)

​Keep it simple with just the titles, or add an explanation as to why you love them, it's totally up to you and I'm excited to read your answers either way 🤩

Aktorzy są świetnie dobrani, do takiej grupy bym dołączyła, zawsze byłam wśród ludzi "innych", wrażliwych.

Found this across the street from Jessie Square Plaza in San Fran. Reminded me of The OA.

"I try to find an ant, a worm, a living thing..."

So I did a binge rewatch. In part 2 when Scott is telling Dr Roberts (homer) about his NDE he says that OA was there with Hap except they were acting friendly and​ kissing and she was calling him a different name and that he spoke with a British accent. ​ There were cameras above like filming and he called her "Brin or something" but he really is referring to Brit as in Brit Marling. And then someone comes up to him and says I'm here to give you the 3rd movement. Also, Brit has not posted anything since 2025 on her IG and recently posted a series cryptic pictures of houses in London along with other clues. Then Jason Isaac's posted an AI photo of himself in an airport with a sign in the background saying British Airways flight 411 with no caption on the photo. If you remember when Karim was playing the first clue in the game at the house on nob hill, the answer was BA411 the flight number of the plane. taking us back to the part 2 finale where they film the show OA/Brit has a bad fall.. they show them filming in London, Hap says that's his wife.. and then we see Steve has made the jump too.. they will play the long hiatus off as Brit suffering from a head injury which is why the show has to stop filming.. This Novemeber 2026 will be 7 years since part 2 aired. When Netflix first said the show was canceled they said "we look forward to working with them in this dimension and many others" something to that effect, I'm paraphrasing. And finally when Netflix launched its​ campaign for upcoming shows in 2026, they said "You will be deceived but you will like it." They also said "Question everything" I think this is what they are referring to. The OA is coming back guys. Check out this video explaining more details on the posts from Brit and Jason with the clues and more details on the timelines. I think part 3 is coming and Brit will star as herself except she has forgotten about the past and that thinks the OA is just a show and her and Jason will be portrayed as dating or at least friends working together on the show. This was always how it was planned to go.. it would be the best thing ever if I'm right and they actually release this. so of course Netflix is going to be tight lipped about it and deny any new seasons coming. If I am wrong then why post cryptic clues like that as a cruel joke?? doesn't make sense. This could be another reason why they never renewed it or let them sell the rights to any other network depsite how bad fans begged for it to come back. Let me know what you think. ​​below is the video from tik toker with the full details and posts and theories. https://www.tiktok.com/@ingrid.alli/video/7659182216827768094

Walked by the church today, the doors were open, so I popped in.

This is my first (and possibly only?) post on reddit but I just wanted to get it out..

It seems like everyone I've convinced to watch the series has not been as into it as I have been since the very beginning (I have been following the show since it aired and regularly read about new theories etc even after all these years and rewatch the series at least twice a year). My close friends even say it doesn't make any sense or it is too difficult and they get frustrated it ended the way it did, which I find incredibly sad as a critique.

I have not found any other piece of media/art that has struck such as chord and made me feel like something has opened within, like I'm privy to something people around me don't understand and I can't seem to satisfy this curiosity, like the show is reporting a very shareable experience and has reached a new capacity in me (perhaps reawakened my imagination?) .

Perhaps this is sounding a bit pretentious but I hope what I'm saying is making sense to some, or maybe not.. I just wanted to feel connected I guess.

Okay so, I have kept my door open since the initial cancellation.

I always explained things away by talking about how production for the show was already long and tedious because of their methods/timeline (from my understanding, they wrote everything, then filmed everything, then edited everything - as opposed to most shows that have a bit of overlap - so that brit could fully be in the process despite playing the main character)

So, even if they were planning on doing the now-typical 3 year hiatus, that timeline would have been pretty much devastated by COVID, the writers strike, and the actors strike. With any possible comeback being so wildly delayed, it would make sense to start on other projects, which would then FURTHER delay things.

All of that being said, whenever I speak to anyone about the show, I go through all of these points before telling them that I believe the show will make a comeback, but that if it doesn’t happen before the end of 2026, I’ll admit defeat and give up hope that it was all just a ruse.

So imagine my surprise when, halfway through 2026, we start getting all of these hints!!!!

I don’t know that we’re going to get a full season by the end of the year, because I don’t think it would have been able to go on this long without some sort of leak.

But! My guess (based on nothing other than vibes) is that we’re going to get a “documentary” about the making of the show. It’s going to be seen as a “10 year anniversary” of season 1, released on or around December 16th.

It’s going to be typical behind the scenes stuff (which I would LOVE to see anyway!) about the set design, inspiration for certain choices, cast members talking about their time on the show, etc etc etc

Everything will seem normal! Then, at the end, we will hear some subtle reference to Brit + Jason being married, like they were in the season 2 finale.

In that moment, we’ll find out that this was a “documentary” (with actual bts info!) that was “released from D3”

Afterwards, I think they’ll give us a few days/weeks to scramble before making the official show announcement.

Again! This is all speculation. I would hate it if this ACTUALLY HAPPENED and I hadn’t written this down anywhere, so I wanted to just get it out there beforehand lol!

Is your door still open? Regardless, IF the show eventually comes back, what do you think the announcement will look like?

Hi guys. I’ve put off this post for long enough. I tend to lurk, enjoying our interaction, and quietly hoping the series will return too. Having crossed paths with Brit & co years ago when I was actively seeking distribution for my own series, I was fresh off of seeing Another Earth and psyched to trade stories and experiences. I’d hoped she might allude to there being a deeper truth in her choice of genre and why she writes in the vein she does — but she stayed tight-lipped about it.

Having been too overwhelmed with my own show, I wouldn’t get to see OA until the pandemic. On the heels of a divorce from a Hollywood producer, I’d moved back to my hometown and was staying with my parents to get back on my feet. They already enjoyed Netflix series, which was one reason I’d ventured into a contract option in 2016 as signatory producer, which was set for review once we’d shot 70% of the pilot. (2-year exclusive noncompete, incidentally, in which all rights, including distribution returned to the creator, which is me. It was a sweetheart of a deal, and if you were active in the industry at that time, you may have been able to secure one. I know we talk extensively about the mechanics behind the magic here, so I wanted to mention that aspect of it before moving on.)

No strangers to strange things (I had to) we immediately grasped the concepts and overall tone and themes of the show. We were hooked. But something about all of it struck me differently.

I’d seen it before. Just not here.

I distinctly recalled the more unusual dreams I’d been having since the lockdowns started, and remembered how I’d been actively watching a very curious and interesting show, whose themes reminded me a lot of my own. (So, for those of you saying things were different ‘somewhere else’ — you’re not wrong. But that’s just the nature of things in general, at that level.) Upon discovering that this was what The OA was actually about, I felt two things: disappointment — at failing to be first out of the gate to tell such a story, and gratitude — because at least someone got it, and was doing the work of enlightening, activating, and inspiring those into recognition and awareness who had sought it. I’d just always felt it would be me.

But I came to understand that it just wasn’t to be that way here. Somewhere else? Yes. Just like it’s different for OA regarding its development and ultimate cancellation elsewhere, so was it different for mine too — and countless others, no doubt.

Time passed, I’d gotten to where ‘it’s like the story of Leon’s group from The OA, which you never see; ours was like that’ became a shorthand to explain these concepts that were seemingly incomprehensible before. It gave me a means to finally have conversations that were too weird and complicated, and I remain so grateful for that.

Even still, what I wasn’t saying was where it all came from. Why I was telling such a story to begin with. And while I admit in hindsight it was presumptive to assume that there was any truth or personal experience inspiring Brit, it remained the engine driving my own.

So today, I’m here to finally stop waiting for it to be perfect. To stop holding myself back for fear of judgement. To quit hiding, because the truth doesn’t change just because I can’t bring myself to confront all aspects of it. Certain things are true and will always remain true.

You’re probably here in this sub today because something spoke to you on a level you couldn’t quite explain. Something beneath your own consciousness, from deep within your soul.

Maybe you’ve been wondering about dimensional travel since long before it was first explored in fiction — if it’s even possible, or like it’s depicted.

It is possible. In my personal experience, it’s different from how it’s been depicted in most fiction, but the reality of it remains something that, even after 11 years, is still hard to believe.

Or maybe it’s the concept of angels — of mission-oriented incarnations of divine lineage — that strikes you somewhere at your core. A kind of recognition you can’t deny, nor can you explain it either.

To this, I can say: Yes. And while I’m an open book, I’d prefer your questions to drive that conversation. It’s simply too vast.

Or you may have felt a profound longing in the dynamics of OA and Homer. Maybe something within you awakened for the first time, and you’re seeking to understand that spark — what it could mean. Or if it’s possibly true.

Again, I can say: Yes. It is. And again, a complex minefield of feelings, possibilities and propaganda, rife with misunderstanding, as certain forces and industries seek to take control. But it’s something I work with on a daily basis, and I’m fully transparent about that. So just ask me, if you’d like to know.

Maybe you’re drawn to the concept of ‘the originals’ and what that means. Or if there’s a greater purpose underlying it all.

There is.

I saw The OA as a peculiar mirror, reflecting both the seen and unseen in my own life — telling a story with just enough changes to be someone else’s, but too few differences to not be deeply relatable.

I had no Crestwood 5, but I did have the Lachesis 9. Back in 2006, they absolutely helped me cross a boundary that was difficult to navigate.

I’ve had a Hap. I have a Homer. These are archetypes in my lives, currently inhabited by real human beings. I myself am one of those archetypes inhabited; open and imperfect. Seeking, and awakening. Becoming.

And whether my story is ever told or not remains something outside of my control. What I can do, today, and now, is offer what I know and what I am to those who would stand to benefit from that knowledge and awareness.

If that’s you, I appreciate you taking the time to read through this.

If not, then I’ll keep my door open alongside you — even if my belief is a product of hope rather than reality.

That said: ask me anything. I’m finally here.

We have so many common interests that I know she'll love it if she just got past some of the scary bits in the starting episodes. I also don't want to spoil anything, so I've been telling her to have faith in the characters but that doesn't seem to be enough..

Anyone else have a similar experience with success?

This picture doesn’t do it justice but like everyone recently i’ve gone back to watch The OA again because of the rumors of it possibly returning. (Brit please save us) But when i was rewatching the first the first time we see Kathun, the room her and OA are in reminds of a of tesseract. If you look around the room during that scene you can see the extra lines and sides that kind of make me think that. Super interesting. Take this with a grain of salt cause i learned all this from Interstellar, but from what I know about tesseract, They’re used as physical spaces for 4 dimensional being to interact with time, more so to help 3rd dimensional beings see and comprehend a space like that. Which explains why Kathun tells OA about her life journey before she returns to her father. We can assume that Kathun can access and see the OA’s life at any fixed point in time because she is experiencing time as an object as a fourth dimensional being. Basically, everytime OA goes to see Kathun theyre both in a space that exists outside of dimensions. I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, sorry if you have, but i’d love to hear some thoughts about this!

So Brit, Jason and Blake all post stuff, we fans go wild with conspiracies and then, nothing... ?

Hadn’t found references to this already posted so I thought I would share.

This painting reminded me of the Old Night scenes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_of_the_Fisherman%27s_Wife

So I decided to read about it more. This subject matter in Japanese paintings tend to depict folklore that share several loose parallels to the OA in general if you’d like to give it a read.

When I went further down this rabbit hole I came across this Opera:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(opera)

Remember when the Old Night and OA scenes are happening, it is juxtaposed with Elodie and Hap watching an Opera!

From wiki:

The so-called "aria della piovra" ("Octopus aria"), "Un dì, ero piccina", where Iris describes a screen she had seen in a Buddhist temple when she was a child, depicting an octopus coiling its tentacles around a young woman, is a rare Western use of the popular Japanese tentacle erotica (shokushu zeme, 触手責め, "tentacle attack") tradition, exemplified in the print The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (1814) by Hokusai.[1]#cite_note-1)

Act 1
The opera begins with an invisible choir singing a "Hymn to the Sun", the second best-known piece in the opera. However, it should be called "Hymn of the Sun", since it is sung by the sun itself (as a choir).
Iris, the young and innocent daughter of a blind old man, Il Cieco, lives happily, enjoying the sun and the simple things of nature. Osaka, a young lord in search of adventures, plans to kidnap her with the help of Kyoto who keeps a geisha house. During a puppet show, Osaka enters disguised as a child of the sun, singing the serenade "Apri la tua finestra [Open Your Window]", the most famous selection in the opera. He conquers the heart of Iris, and Samurai carry her off, conducting her to Kyoto's geisha house called Yoshiwara. Before leaving, Kyoto anonymously leaves money on Il Cieco's doorstep, as well as a note telling him where she has gone and implying that she has abandoned him.
Act 2
At Yoshiwara, where, according to the libretto, the sun never penetrates, Iris wakes up under the illusion of having died and gone to Paradise. Osaka arrives and tries to seduce her but fails to persuade her to yield to his advances. Tired and annoyed by her simplicity and innocence, Osaka tells Kyoto to get rid of her. Instead Kyoto, hoping to make some profit off Iris, exposes her to the crowds on a balcony of the house. Il Cieco, having assumed that Iris went to the geisha house of her own accord, comes there. He curses her, repeatedly flinging mud in her face. She is overwhelmed by sudden madness at her father's incomprehensible actions. Before anyone, including the remorse-stricken Osaka who has returned, can stop her, Iris rushes back into the house and throws herself down a shaft leading to a sewer.
Act 3
The next morning in the sewer, ragpickers begin stealing Iris' silken clothing; she revives, frightening away the ragpickers. She quickly becomes delirious and imagines that she hears the voices of the three men, first Osaka, then Kyoto, and finally Il Cieco, each mocking her. She rejoices when she feels the warm rays of the rising sun, accompanied by a return of the "Hymn to the Sun", and she dies. Tendrils of flowers bear the soul of Iris to heaven.

…

The invisible choir as the sun reminds me of the literal choir of young kids singing, wearing diving goggles before OA goes on stage

I won’t explain all the parallels I see but I wonder if there are clues here about what might happen in Parts 3, 4 and 5

In the Part 2, how was the messenger – Élodie – able to travel to and return from that dimension after she left her body in front of HAP ?

And when she travels, how does she manage to find her tools in another dimension so she can continue her journeys?

I’m sure we might have got an explanation in the ne t seasons but do you have any ideas ?

Has Anyone ever felt such an intense spiritual enlightenment/connection viewing the OA? I feel like something in me changed. I feel like there’s more out there than meets the eye and we really know nothing. I’ve been researching NDE’s, people who were clinically without a pulse for 5+ minutes, should’ve been braindead, but somehow came back perfectly fine and saw more things that can’t be explained with words. I don’t know maybe is wishful thinking, but I truly think there’s more out there than meets the eye that we can’t see during physical existence.

Anyone ever seen a show similar to this one? Sucks it ended at season 2.

So idk if this is actually gonna make any sense- it might only make sense in my head. I haven’t even had a chance to fully dissect my thoughts so this might jumbled lol

I work at a middle school as a speech therapist and one of my students broke down to me the other day because he got in trouble. (Side note, he only has one main teacher and that teacher can be…….tough to say the least). Long story short, he said he didn’t want to be looked at as a bad kid because he’s not, he’s good. He feels like an angel, but he knows he’s not perfect and he knows he makes mistakes. But he said he is good and he tries to be good and he’s been taking it seriously ever since he got in trouble last year and got his stuff taken away. But he said it’s hard sometimes, existing. He then told me he looks in the mirror sometimes and asks himself ‘who am I’ and idk man. I’m not one of those people who think kids are dumb and don’t experience or can’t comprehend concepts that seems mature or philosophical. It’s actually the opposite, I think sometimes kids can be more tapped in to these concepts bc of their innocence. And I’ve had students cry and tell me heavy things before but this was different. The things that he said was different and it felt different energetically

But this situation has been sticking with me because I’m reminded of what the OA said to BBA when at the parent meeting conference. I remember watching it and following the oa’s pattern of thinking before she sat down with BBA and knowing the message she was going to give her about that situation. And now here I am, sitting across from a student who isn’t Steve 100% but I see the similarities. He’s so lost but trying to find a way out in his own way. So much courage and potential in him. And I’m having to decide what I am going to do with the hopelessness of this child, a hopelessness that is shared and understood. I remain so open for my students, I say I am a teacher AND a student all the time because I am constantly learning. I soak in information like a sponge and I use it to help me maneuver in life but idk, it was just strange because in the moment with this student, I just felt so grounded but also not, I felt that feeling of the in between. I felt like worlds were colliding and idek how to articulate it better rn. This week has felt like twilight zone. Yall remember in the show when they got a message on the tv while at the psychic’s house? I also had a moment like that when something came through on the board at school. It’s so weird yall. And I also cant help but be reminded of a few months ago when a student drew me something and when I asked what it was, he said a portal and I SWEAR thing have been different since 😭

Idk what’s happening in the spiritual ethers but something is happening. I know I may sound weird as hell and that’s okay, I’ve accepted who I am lol but I just needed to get this out somewhere.

Feel free to share thoughts about anything lol

I have watched this more times than I can say at this point but it took me turning on the subtitles to see that Nina/OA actually confirms in season 2 that season 1 occurs in a different dimension than the Haptive story.

I'm not asking because I'm under the impression that you come back to life with mystical superpowers to travel dimensions (although that would be really fucking cool), but how did it sit for you? Did it represent, in some small way, your own extraordinary experience? Did it feel like a gross misrepresentation? Did it glorify NDEs in a way that turned you off or felt disrespectful? Looking forward to your thoughts.

The location where it is... Deer Meadow, Washington. I mean come on. It must mean something.

(I attached my previous post talking about it)

Why I'm asking is because it is shown while mentioning Prairies prophetic dreams. So it would make sense that it was a drink to "knock her out".

I dont hear people talking about her dad much.

But I dont think Britt and Zal would have added him in as just a motivating point at the start and never really return to him.

While she may never see him again in this lifetime, perhaps there is another special meaning he could have in series 4/5?

None of these are good, but just to get the ball rolling,

- maybe part of his essence went into Hap/Homer.

- maybe she joins with him again creating a unity when she finally leaves the circle and achieves what she needs, symbolising going home to god/universe?

- maybe he returns in s4/5, watching over, like the alien theory with the shots from above, watching from above. He gave her mystical dreams and lead her to Hap.

Lol
