The unforeseen cancellation of the second season due to the pandemic left fans of ‘The Society’ craving closure. Now, five years later, there’s talk of a potential return. The show, first launched on Netflix in 2019, made waves with its gripping narrative.
An Intriguing Plot and Rising Stars
‘The Society’ is an American mystery drama that quickly captivated audiences with its intense storyline. The ten-part series follows teenagers grappling with the sudden disappearance of everyone else in their town. Returning prematurely from a canceled field trip, they find themselves isolated and surrounded by an ominous forest.
Young Talent in the Spotlight
The cast, including Kathryn Newton, Gideon Adlon, Sean Berdy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Jacques Colimon, and Olivia DeJonge, brought fresh faces to viewers’ screens. Newton, known for her roles in ‘Halt And Catch Fire,’ ‘Big Little Lies,’ and ‘Blockers,’ took the lead role and shone brightly amid the unfolding chaos. Newton once mentioned to Variety: I studied a lot in my growth journals for my character, but the truth is, I just watched my dogs because 80% of their communication is nonverbal.
A Major Cliffhanger
The series ended with a significant cliffhanger at the conclusion of its first season, leaving fans eagerly awaiting answers that never came. Now, there is renewed hope for those long-anticipated resolutions.
Potential Revival
Series creator Christopher Keyser shared his thoughts on the situation: This wasn’t a normal cancellation. This wasn’t about not having the audience or we didn’t believe in it anymore. There was a global crisis that changed all of our lives in the one year we were able to make it.
Keyser also expressed continuing discussions with writers and executive producer Marc Webb regarding the show’s future: We don’t have an answer yet, and I wouldn’t count on it, but I don’t do that with every show that gets canceled.
The Audience’s Desire
Adding to the anticipation, Keyser noted: The audience still wants to talk about it. They are still moved by it and want answers to their questions and then new questions are posed.
This shared sentiment resonates deeply among viewers who found themselves invested in the fates of these young characters navigating their mysterious new reality.
