Why Netflix Canceled The Society After Only 1 Season
The Society had no “normal” cancelation
The Societydidn’t experience any variety of typicalone - season Netflix show cancelation . After the winner of season 1,The Societyquickly received a time of year 2 renewal in July 2019 . However , in May 2020 , it was announced thatThe Societyseason 2 had been canceled by Netflix due to complications with production from the COVID-19 pandemic . The pandemic led to delays in begin yield , increase price of production , and difficulties in aligning schedule to makeThe Societyseason 2 , so the show was result without a studio at that point .
However , in May 2020 , it was announced that The Society time of year 2 had been call off by Netflix due to complication with product from the COVID-19 pandemic .
The Societywasn’t the only TV show cancel by Netflix due to restraints from the COVID-19 pandemic , asGLOWandI Am Not Okay With Thiswere also among the serial axe at that sentence . Of naturally , The Society ’s cliffhanger endingwould bring a smashing amount of attention to its other cancelation , and it stands out among the canceled Netflix shows as one of the least satisfying “ endings ” for this reason . The cast and crowd were clearly disappointed by Netflix ’s decision , withfans even get various petitions to greenlightThe Societyseason 2over the years .
One day in West Ham, Connecticut, the students of the local high school return from a field trip to find the rest of the town’s population gone.

The Society’s Showrunner Revealing The Show’s Answers Would Have Killed Season 2 Hopes
If Keyser had already given the answers, there would be no need for season 2
I , alongside many others who binged season 1 and waitress impatiently for answers to issue forth with season 2 , was hoping that , at some compass point , Keyser would have eventually revealed the truth ofThe Society ’s mysteries after its cancelation . After all , it ’s been four years since Netflix gave it the axe andThe Societyhas still yet to be pick up by another studioor mesh or even have updates on possible story and cast detail . There are so many questions that , after five years , still pester me today when I see the mold in unexampled movies and video show .
When I saw Gideon Adlon inMiller ’s Girl , I could n’t serve but think back to how frustrating it was to never find out who the founding father of Becca ’s baby was . WhenOlivia DeJonge appeared as Priscilla Presley inElvis , I caught myself reassessing the whodunit of Elle ’s dog in West Ham . Nearly every scene with Jack Mulhern inMare of Easttownmade me wonder whether Grizz ’s fresh - see farmland inThe Societyseason 1 ’s termination would be fruitful . The list depart on , and it proves how greatly compelling the show was in engaging the audience through so many intersecting plotlines that could so easily hazard becoming convolute .
Netflix has created some truly captivating original serial over the years only to cancel them before long after , leading to some frustrative disconnected endings .
As much as I require the truth to thesequestions unanswered byThe Societyseason 1 , I realise that Christopher Keyser telling me these through a post online wo n’t give me the same gratification as concluding these storylines on filmdom like they merit . Rather , the best mode to decently continue the story and answer these questions in a substantial means is to do so throughThe Societyseason 2 . The disappointment withThe Society ’s cancelation is n’t just the lack of solvent , but the deficiency of seeing the storyline meet out by the actor , all the emotion and patch in between , and the growth of these characters and their responses to these development .
The dashing hopes withThe Society ’s cancelation is n’t just the deficiency of resolution , but the lack of seeing the storylines played out by the actors , all the emotion and plot of land in between , and the growth of these characters and their responses to these maturation .
However , if Keyser had given in and told audiences the reply that they wanted to hear after Netflix canceledThe Society , there would be no Leslie Townes Hope for time of year 2 to ever happen . Keyser himself has often remarked on the loyal and vocal support thatThe Societystill has after five years despite only enjoying 10 total episodes . The showrunner still believes in the potential forThe Societyseason 2 to encounter in some way , and I ’d rather see what he can make work in bringing the story back to the little blind ( or somewhere else ) than simply be told the resolution .
The Society’s Cast Could Still Believably Reprise Their Roles After 5 Years
The actors' aging isn’t a hindrance to The Society season 2
justifiedly or not , many TV shows receive complaints about frame histrion far older than their teenage characters . While it may make a show more realistic and relatable for teen viewers to see the characters make for by actual teenagers , sometimes casting sure-enough worker can genuinely benefit a show when the complication of production and agenda fall into play – or if a show is canceled and has the potential to return after five years . Many ofThe Society ’s cast phallus were already in their other or mid-20s when playing their stripling characters , andthey do n’t depend too much older today than they did back in 2019 .
