I don't know the show well enough to know what the specific planets/locations are. A lot would depend on how broadly you are willing to define the word 'like'.
In terms of technology, most TV SF is pretty soft science and conventional and OA aims to be neither. So I suspect that a lot of even high-tech/middletech stuff would look rather different and probably be much more advanced than what is depicted on the show.
In terms of races/clades/cultures, you might get some similarities - at least in limited cases. A culture might go through a period where it is considered fashionable to bodymod oneself to have grey skin and hair for example. There is at least one race of provolved frogs in the setting, but I don't know if they would look anything like Rigel.
If you can provide specific examples of elements from the show we can probably do a better job of saying one way or the other.
