Megan Vick It’s been half of a decade since “The Society” captivated Netflix viewers during its short life as a streaming series. These viewers became enraptured by a rag-tag group of teens that started their own civilization after landing in an identical version of their town but devoid of the rest of its residents, including their parents. The series, which premiered in May 2019, was renewed two months later and set to go into production in March 2020.
The streamer promised to answer burning questions: Who’s the father of Becca’s baby? How was Charlie the dog able to travel between settlements? But COVID-19 had other plans, making it difficult for the ensemble to reassemble for Season 2; the show was canceled in August 2020. “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,” says creator Christopher Keyser. Keyser, who also co-created “Party of Five” and served as showrunner of “Julia” on Max, says that “The Society” is still the show he gets asked about in every interview. And it’s still on his mind as much as it is for the fans carrying “Save ‘The Society’” torches on social media.
“It really feels like this thing that we loved and were ready for was taken away more than anything I’ve ever done. That’s true for the writers and Marc Webb, with whom I made the show. There’s a sense that it stopped in mid-animation, but we knew a lot of what was going to happen on the other side,” he says.
