Netflix will release Part II of The OA, its critically divisive, genre-busting drama, on March 22, 2019.

Fans of Netflix's 2016 surprise hit series The OA, rejoice-the first trailer for Part II just dropped. Be forewarned: it's fairly spoiler-y for those who haven't already seen Part I. Then again, there are probably people who are still puzzling over what, exactly, happened in Part I of this genre-busting show-is it science fiction? Fantasy? A supernatural drama? So perhaps a refresher would be welcome.

Part I opened with an adopted young woman, Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), miraculously returning home after being missing for seven years. Her adoptive parents are thrilled and perplexed, not just about where she's been all this time, but because now their once-blind daughter can see. Prairie befriends several misfits from the local high school: four boys (Steve, French, Buck, and Jesse) and a teacher, Betty Broderick-Allen (Phyllis Smith), dubbed "BBA." Over the rest of the season, she tells them her story, beginning with a near-death experience (NDE) when she was a child, the same accident that left her blind.
