Former Netflix Exec Gets Candid About Controversial Cancellation 4 Years Later

Former Netflix executive Cindy Holland addresses why the streamer cancelled the hit series The OA after two seasons. The OA follows the mystery of Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), a young blind woman who goes missing and turns up seven years later with restored vision and a new name, the OA. The show was well-received, with some magazines and news outlets labeling it the best series of all time. In 2019, Netflix did not renew The OA for season 3, which sparked intense viewer reactions. Even after four years, it remains one of Netflix’s most perplexing TV show cancellations.
