Why Was ‘The Society’ Canceled?
Production of the show was temporarily halted due to the COVID-19 outbreak but was expected to resume shortly.
Everyone on set has been gearing up for their return to work, as several cast members have noted. The COVID scenario, however, may have caused production costs to skyrocket, and Netflix may now be reconsidering its choice.
We’ve made the tough choice not to move forward with second seasons of The Society, and I Am Not Okay With This, Netflix informed Deadline.
“We’re disappointed to have to make these decisions due to COVID-created circumstances, and we’re grateful to these creators,” the statement reads.
“This includes Jonathan Entwistle, Christy Hall, Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen, and Josh Barry at 21 Laps Entertainment for I Am Not Okay With This; Chris Keyser, Marc Webb, and Pavlina Hatoupis for The Society; and all the writers, casts, and crews who worked tireless
A combination of “uncertainty about production schedules and managing the availabilities of a large ensemble like The Society” and “unexpected budget rises due to COVID” reportedly had a role in the film’s final decision, as reported by Deadline.
