RIP The Society. I was looking forward to season 2.

Netflix has reversed its Season 2 renewal decision for The Society. The YA drama, whose production was impacted by COVID-19, has been canceled and won’t film a second season. Additionally, Netflix has opted not to proceed with a second season of another coming-of-age series, I Am Not Okay With This.

According to sources, uncertainty around production dates and balancing the availabilities of a large cast likeThe Society, coupled with unexpected budget increases due to COVID led to the decisions on The Society and I Am Not Okay With This, which had been both well received by critics and fans and had strong support at Netflix.

This is something we will likely see more of as the months-long Hollywood shutdown due to the pandemic will create a logjam when trying to ease all series impacted by the shutdown back into production while mitigating higher production costs due to strict COVID-19 safety protocols and losses from the pandemic.

The Society was pretty great. Very disappointing.

I'm okay with this.

Damn, I liked both these shows, and both had tons of unresolved plot points.

Never watched either one, so this doesn’t effect me.

Yes, I know I am adding nothing to this discussion. >_<

The entire first season of I'm Not Okay With This was just a massive set up for season two and now it's not even getting that? It's literally just wasted time now.

Well it kinda works as a Carrie series ending with the gym massacre, but yeah it's really disappointing that we won't ever get past the very first scene in the first episode (also the final scene of the final episode). It's not Netflix's fault though, these teen series are gonna age out before they got to make the second season.

as long as Altered Carbon doesn't get cancelled idgaf. should get rid of shit like umbrella academy, warrior nun and stranger things while they're at it tbh. way too much drivel on the platform that it's becoming as poorly curated as the psn store.
