Netflix has announced that they've greenlit The OA, a new drama series created by Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling.
The network has ordered the pair, who collaborated on thrillers The East and The Sound Of My Voice, to create eight, one hour-long episodes, which will premiere in 2016. Batmanglij will direct and Marling will star in series.
According to Deadline, Netflix has kept mum about the show's details, but it is believed that the series will have some mystery elements to it.
"We are thrilled to be the home of the first television series Brit and Zal create together," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix. "Whether in front of or behind the camera, or both, their creative voice is always uniquely captivating."
As most may be aware, Zal is brother to gay Vampire Weekend member, Rostam Batmanglij.
