Netflix's Top Secret 'The OA' Reveals A Trailer Before Its Friday Debut

The story follows Prarie Johnson (series co-creator Britt Marling), a young blind woman abducted seven years ago. Prarie suddenly returns, her sight restored, and covered in strange markings, among other mysteries, some of which may be tied to a mysterious doctor (Jason Isaacs). Marling and the show’s other creative voice, Zal Batmanglij, are best known for meditative indie movies like The East and Sound Of My Voice, hence the trailer’s interest in wintry landscapes and young women on bicycles instead of the central mystery, although it appears Prarie’s claims she wasn’t “missing” may ring truer than we know.
