And what new problems will the citizens of New Ham be facing now that winter is on its way? Here's everything you need to know about The Society season 2... *Spoilers for season 1 of The Society below* Is The Society season 2 happening? In a surprise twist, Netflix has decided to cancel The Society. The show, which was previously renewed for a second season, was one of two series that the streaming decided to cancel due to COVID affecting production. The cast previously got the chance to announce the news through special video messages. After hearing the news that the show later got cancelled, they got into a group chat and Kathryn shared a photo of all of them together. kathrynnewton Instagram When was it supposed to come out? Before it was cancelled, season 2 was set to be released sometime in 2020. Production was planned to get started in August 2020, but was unable to start due to COVID-19. Which cast members had planned to return? Since the show was cancelled, we won't get to know for sure. However, we're only able to guess who planned come back based on who participated in the special announcement video. It seems like were going to see more of Kathryn Newton as Allie and Jacques Colimon as Will after the recent coup in New Ham. Alex Fitzalan, Toby Wallace, and Grace Victoria Cox will also planned to come back as Harry, Campbell, and Lexie, the new leaders of New Ham. Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Olivia DeJonge were going to return as Helena and Elle, hopefully going against their boyfriends to bring back New Ham to what is once was. Sam and Grizz shippers also had a lot to look forward to as both Sean Berdy and Jack Mulhern seemed set to return. Rounding out the cast was Alexander McNicoll as Luke, Gideon Adlon as Becca, Kristine Froseth as Kelly, and Jose Julian as Gordie. What will season 2 going to be about? The citizens of New Ham would have had a lot going on if the show had come back for another season. Between figuring out the mystery of why they were transported to a copy of their town to the new leadership that has taken over thanks to Campbell's coup d'état, there was a lot that was going on within that group. "New Ham under new leadership, [and] that’s not very stable because it’s a triumvirate of three people, none of who trust anyone else in that triumvirate. How that’s going to work and whether they will work together or will begin to undermine each other, we don’t know," show creator Christopher Keyser told IndieWire. "They’re going to need to begin to produce their own food. Food means agriculture and that’s uncertain. What stories might come out of a successful planting season or an unsuccessful planting season? […] We have not yet dealt with what happens when sickness or injury happens. There are all kinds of pressures that are going to be placed on a community like that that we haven’t explored yet." While it seemed like everyone is against Allie and Will after Campbell and his group lied to the town about them rigging the elections, the cast previously said that there were some members that wouldn't lean into his lies. "I don't think he quickly believes whatever has been sold to him about what is going on," Jack Mulhern, who plays Grizz, told Entertainment Tonight. "I think that in his heart of hearts he kind of knows what's going on and that'll be a point of conflict in the future, if there is a future. You know?"

Here's everything we know so far, including the release date and theories. Netflix's suspensful teen drama, The Society, has been billed as a modern day Lord of the Flies meets Pretty Little Liars (and like, LOST if it was set in a fictional town in New England, USA instead of a mysterious island.) Season 1 dropped on the streaming service in May 2019 and viewers couldn't get enough of the plot twists, the characters and the absolutely mind-blowing finale. But what will happen next in season 2? READ MORE: The Society: Meet the cast of the Netflix series After 10 incredibly tense episodes and one hell of a cliffhanger, the first season left us with several unanswered questions and some looming unfinished storylines that might be way more sinister than we actually thought, like who actually shot [SPOILER] in episode 3. Are they trapped in an upside down universe? Is it all a social experiment? Is it a dream!? Or is something way more dangerous afoot? And will the teenagers ever reunite with their parents and return to their actual homes? Here's everything we know about The Society season 2 including the release date, the cast and spoilers about the plot: Will there be a The Society season two on Netflix? Picture: Netflix Has The Society season 2 been renewed? Will there be a The Society season 2? Yes. On July 9th 2019, Netflix announced that The Society would be returning for a second season on Netflix. Speaking to Digital Spy before the series was renewed, creator Christopher Keyser said: "Netflix decides that based on our viewership. So you never do know. Some shows get two seasons in initial orders. I think Sabrina did. But we got a one-season order, which is usual. And then we wait, as everyone else does, to see what the audience decides." In other words, you can expect to see a lot more of your faves very soon. #TheSociety has been renewed for Season 2! Coming in 2020 pic.twitter.com/JUXW7HZDxv — See What's Next (@seewhatsnext) July 9, 2019 The Society season 2 release date: When will The Society season 2 be released? Alongside the renewal announcement, The Society cast confirmed that the show will be back in 2020. If the show works on a yearly cycle like most other Netflix series, we could expect season 2 as soon as next May. Currently, there is no official confirmation of a release date for the second season. In a report from Deadline, the show is said to be currently slated for release in late 2020. How many episodes will be in The Society season 2? If season 2 follows the template of season 1, it will likely have another 10 episodes. But so far, that's all unconfirmed. The Society season 2 cast: Which characters will be in The Society season 2? It looks like we'll be picking up exactly where we left off in season 2, which means everyone who was still alive at the end of season one will likely return. Expect to see the main characters including Allie (Kathryn Newton), Will (Jacques Coliman), Harry (Alex Fitzalan), Kelly (Kristine Froseth), Becca (Gideon Adlon), Sam (Sean Berdy), Campbell (Toby Wallace), Elle (Olivia DeJonge) and Grizz (Jack Mulhern) again. It also looks likely that Gordie (José Julián), Bean (Salena Qureshi), Lexie (Grace Victoria Cox), Jason (Emilio Garcia-Sanchez) and Clark (Spencer House) will be back too. Olivia Nikkanen, who played popular girl Gwen in season 1, has been upped to series regular ahead of season 2. Expect to see Gwen play a major role in the second season. Those who likely won't return, because they died are: Cassandra (Rachel Keller) and Dewey (Seth Meriwether). However, given the mystery surrounding the series, anything is possible. What’s going to happen in The Society season 2? Now that Campbell and Harry have taken control over the town and imprisoned Allie and Will, things don't look good for the teen residents of New Ham. Season 2 will likely focus on the negative effects of them being in power. That being said, we reckon that Kelly, Becca, Sam, Grizz, Bean and Gordie will work to set Allie and Will free and put a stop to Campbell. It looks like Elle will also help them from the inside. Elsewhere, season 2 will probably see some of the residents of New Ham move outside of the town. In the season 1 finale, Grizz and a team of explorers discovered new land for the teens to farm on. It will be interesting to see how this affects the dynamic of New Ham. Character wise, there's still no word on who the father of Becca's baby is, so we hope that will be explained in season 2. The main question season 1 left us with though is: are the teenagers all dead? The final shot of the series switched to the actual West Ham and showed a memorial paying tribute to all of the teens in New Ham. Is the whole series based in some sort of afterlife? Are the parents involved in a government experiment? Did anyone actually die? Fingers crossed we find out in the next season.<doc-sep>Netflix's latest teen drama, The Society, brings together a group of teenagers back in their hometown after a class trip, only to find out that their parents have gone missing and the place they ended up is just a copy of their town. As they question everything around them and try to find a way to survive, many characters come out on top to make things better or worse for everyone else in the town of New Ham. *Spoilers for season 1 of The Society* While the citizens of New Ham continued to figure out where they were and how to get back home, it wasn't until the end of season one that they realized there was a much bigger threat among them. Although Campbell, played by scene stealer Toby Wallace, is not really the big villain of the series (who is that bus driver and do the parents know more than they lead on?! ), it seems like he'll be the big villain in season 2. Here's everything you need to know about Campbell from The Society... How is he related to Allie, Cassandra, and Sam? While there seems to be a lot of different families in West Ham and New Ham, it looks like there are two families that are connected together somehow. Allie and Cassandra are related to Campbell since they are cousins, while Sam is Campbell's brother. It still hasn't been revealed exactly which side of the family they are connected by, but it seems like their relationship was really strained before the show even started. Is he really a sociopath? It seems pretty clear from his actions throughout season 1 that Campbell has sociopathic tendencies. It's not officially confirmed until Sam admits that Campbell was tested when he was younger. According to Mayo Clinic, antisocial personality disorder "is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others." Between his relationship with Elle, who he often abuses, and the rest of the citizens of New Ham, it's not surprising to hear this diagnosis is true. Is he really the new mayor of New Ham? Although the rest of the citizens might not know it, Campbell is really the one that is currently running the town after leading a coup to take down Allie and her group. By manipulating Harry and Lexie to take over the town as co-mayors by lying and saying that Allie and Will were planning to rig the election, it seems like Campbell has all the power. The only reason why Harry and Lexie agreed to his plan is because he has something on each of them and he has the power to order the Guard to kill them both, so Campbell will be making some big changes through the two of them that will certainly make things worse for the rest of the citizens of New Ham.

As the citizens of New Ham figure out a way to get back home to their parents and the rest of the world, there was one character that broke out of the pack to help with a significant part of their survival. While the rest of the characters were often fighting about who would lead and be in charge of the town, Grizz (played by the incredible Jack Mulhern) has been significant in helping find food and figuring out a long-term plan to ensure the town's survival. *Spoilers for season 1 of The Society* Not only has Grizz helped the town find a way to make more food before they run out of supplies, he's also started a new relationship with Sam that made all the show's viewers fall in love. While he left for an important mission at the end of the first season, he came back with big news, but not before seeing how much the town changed before Campbell's coup to take over. It seems like with his big return, Grizz will certainly play a big part in season 2 and what happens next for the town. Here's everything you need to know about Grizz from The Society... What is his real name? While it was never really said out loud, Grizz's full name is "Gareth Visser" as seen on the trophy he has in his room in episode 8. Netflix What is his main job in New Ham? Grizz is known for his survival skills and is often the leader of the pack when it comes to traveling outside of the town. After figuring out that the town of New Ham has only forest land near it and food begins to be rationed, Grizz ends up starting a community garden in the town to help grow some more food. Allie later asks Grizz to lead a search to find some farmland in order to grow more food before they run out of supplies. At the end of season 1, Grizz and the members of his group end up traveling outside of the town to try to find farmland that is suitable for them to farm in. After spending the night camping, the team goes in time to see Campbell take over the town from Allie and Will after lying to the townspeople and saying that they were planning to rig the elections. Is Grizz going to do anything against Campbell in season 2? When Grizz and his team come back after finding some farmland at the end of the season 1 finale, it's pretty clear that he is hesitant to believe Harry and Lexie when they take over with the help of Campbell. It seems like Grizz will have a hand in helping Allie and Will get control back of the town and reveal that Campbell was the one behind it all. "I don't think he quickly believes whatever has been sold to him about what is going on," Jack Mulhern, who plays Grizz, told Entertainment Tonight. "I think that in his heart of hearts he kind of knows what's going on and that'll be a point of conflict in the future, if there is a future. You know?"
