On February 8, 2017, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, dubbed "Part II", that was released on March 22, 2019. Although The OA was planned by its creators to be a five-part story told in five seasons,[10] on August 5, 2019, Netflix canceled the series after two seasons, leaving the show with a cliffhanger ending.[11] The OA received generally favorable critical reception, averaging 77% for Part I and 92% for Part II on Rotten Tomatoes. The series' directing, visuals and acting were often singled out, as was its social impact.[12] It has been listed by many publications as one of the best TV shows of the 2010s,[13][14][15] the 21st century,[16] and all time.[17]
