“The OA” stars Jason Isaacs and Brit Marling are a bit emotional following the news that Netflix has cancelled the show.
Isaacs, who plays sinister scientist Hap, took to Twitter to share just how much the show means to him and just how sad he is that it is ending.
“It’s hard to say goodbye to ‘The OA’ because I might just have been, in entirely inappropriate and slightly nauseating fashion, its number one fan,” he wrote.
“Farewell Prairie, who I loved, Homer, who I feared, Steve, who confused me, Scott, Rachel and Renata, who I hoped would forgive me and understand in time, somewhere. If you haven’t see #TheOA on #Netflix you should. There’ll be no new seasons, sadly, but by God we burned bright,” he captioned the lengthy post.
Isaacs goes on to tell fans that “possibly the biggest regret is that you won’t all get to know just how satisfying and exciting and moving and just downright f**king brilliant the other chapters would have been.”

Isaacs’ co-star and co-creator of the show, Brit Marling expressed similar sentiments on Instagram: “The first time I heard the news, I had a good cry. So did one of our executives at Netflix who has been with us since the early days when we were sketching out Hap’s basement on the floor of our production office in Queens.”
“It’s been an intense journey for everyone who worked on and cared about this story,” Marling, who plays Prairie Johnson, said.
Outcry from fans has been explosive since news of the cancellation broke. Some even threatened to cancel their Netflix subscriptions.
“I need Netflix to bring back ‘The OA’ by the end of the week or I WILL be clicking that cancel button,” one fan tweeted.
“If Netflix cancels ‘The OA’, we cancel Netflix,” another posted.
