The Society: A Fan Favorite
Ever since The Society was cruelly canceled after the first season, fans have been crying out for it to somehow return – and our hopes could possibly get answered soon. The beloved series premiered on Netflix in May, 2019, and followed teenagers who were displaced from their hometown while on a school trip – and thrown into an identical version, without any adult supervision. They were forced to take things into their own hands and created their own community, but things quickly got out of hand and spiraled into a Lord of the Flies-style situation with an almighty cliffhanger.
Fans’ Continued Support
Five years on, fans’ calls for more episodes have not quietened, with creator Christopher Keyser touched by the huge response – teasing that those behind the camera are always trying to come up with ways to move the story on. In fact, we were almost close to getting new episodes in the form of a graphic novel before the publishing company went bust.
The Unresolved Mysteries
The first series ended on a huge cliffhanger as viewers learned that the parents of the teens were still alive and well back in ‘normality’, and believed that their children had somehow died. We also had questions about where the school buses transporting the students actually went after vanishing in thin air, and whether the two timelines would ever merge again.
Fans’ Pleas for Closure
Right on cue, fans began dissecting his comments on social media, begging Netflix to pick up more episodes once again for some much-needed ‘closure’.
- Elise begged: ‘Bring the entire cast back and continue on, we as a society will ignore the fact they’ve aged.’
- Ashley agreed: ‘OH MY GOD?! please I’m begging, I’ve literally never wanted a show to return more than The Society. I need closure!!!’
- Kathy fumed: ‘This show was renewed then cancelled when it should have been placed on delay. We deserve another season.’
- Nowwhyami_innit pleaded: ‘Even if it’s one more season FINE! Just tell us wtf happened in that town.’
- Kat Pettibone added: ‘When I say I would sell my soul for this! It would be my biggest win.’
