The producers of The OA have created a new thriller starring Emma Corrin on Disney Plus.
The Netflix series, which starred and was developed by Brit Marling, was abruptly discontinued after two seasons.
It followed Marling as Prairie Johnson, a woman who returns to society seven years after going missing before admitting she was in another realm and assembling a small team to assist in the recovery of other individuals who have vanished.
While fans were captivated, and there were even preparations for season three, it came as a surprise when it was revealed that it would be cancelled, since the conclusion saw another realm of reality opening, rather than wrapping up all the plotlines and neatly concluding.
However, Marling and co-creator Zal Batmanglij’s newest project, A Murder at the End of the World, has left fans drooling.
Along with The Crown’s Corrin, Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, and Alice Braga, as well as Marling, will appear in the series.
The synopsis for the murder mystery reads: ‘Gen Z amateur sleuth Darby Hart is invited to participate in a retreat at a remote location.’
But, of course, the retreat takes a dark turn when Darby seeks to solve a murder before the culprit strikes again.
Despite the fact that just four episodes have been released on Disney Plus thus far, people are captivated, and the series has received an astounding 97% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
‘I felt compelled to watch to the end: it’s beautifully acted (Owen is downright unnerving), and the story, while conducted at a maddening pace, is atmospheric and deeply intriguing,’ one person wrote.
Someone else praised: ‘The denouement, when it comes, is ingenious. If Agatha Christie had lived to the digital age, she’d surely approve.’
Following the most recent episode launching on the streaming platform, someone else penned: ‘Just finished S1 E4 of A Murder at the End of the World… GREAT end to the episode. A nice little twist thrown in. I’ll admit that my jaw dropped right as I heard it happen. Now, we wait for next Tuesday. Great stuff.’
Someone else wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘If there is one thing Brit Marling is going to do is make some of the best intelligent & creative tv ever & it will be severely underrated but have a cult fan base she did it with the OA & is doing it again with A Murder at the End of the World.’
‘I’m completely enthralled and obsessed with @britmarling’s A Murder At The End of the World on . If you liked her show The OA on Netflix, or love a good murder mystery, a love story, or The Crown’s Emma Corrin (Princess Di), or have an interest in the perils and hopes surrounding technology, artificial intelligence, climate change, futurism etc – please watch this!! It is all the things. I need more people to discuss!’ someone else said.
Another penned: ‘It’s so amazing to watch @britmarling on A Murder at the End of the World. So talented and always sophisticated, statuesque. The show is Phenomenal like every Zal / Brit project. OA fans are United again,’ while someone else echoed: ‘Between the oa and murder at the end of the world, brit marlings work truly excites me in a way television really hasn’t yet… in a way that I thought only film could. Baby’s got style.’
A Murder at the End of the World is available to watch on Disney Plus, with new episodes dropping weekly.
