THE OA Creators Bringing New Mystery Series Titled RETREAT to FX, With Brit Marling Set to Star
The creators of The OA are bringing another new show to TV with the FX mystery series Retreat. Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij’s twist on the detective trope “follows an amateur sleuth named Darby Hart, as she attempts to solve a murder case at a secluded retreat. Both writers will direct, with Marling also playing a key role in the whodunnit.”
Gina Balian, president of original programming at FX, said of the project:
“Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij have delivered a suspenseful story that updates the classic mystery genre with a bold new character for our times. We are thrilled that Brit and Zal and the rest of the creative team will bring this series to life with their unique points of view and care.”
Per the Retreat logline, “Darby and 11 other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When one of the guests is found dead, Darby must fight to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life.” The show is executive produced by Marling, Batmanglij and Andrea Sperling (Transparent).
I was a huge fan of The OA, and I really wish we could get another season of it. But I will definitely be tuning in to watch Retreat. How about you?
