dailynewham: #SAVETHESOCIETYThe Society follows the story of a group of teenagers who struggle to survive after they’re mysteriously transported to a facsimile of their hometown with no trace of their parents. Busloads of West Ham high school students head off for an extended camping trip while the Federal Government deal with the mysterious and irritating smell permeating the town, but a storm forces them to return home. Upon their return, the teens realise that all of the town’s residents are gone and that while local phones and texting work, they are electronically cut off from the rest of the world. Their newfound freedom is fun at first, but it quickly becomes dangerous. While they struggle to figure out what has happened to them and how to get the town back to normal, the teens must establish order and form alliances in order to survive.Although it was renewed for a second season by its streaming service over a year ago (July 2019), Netflix have now rescinded this decision due to the ongoing pandemic, citing scheduling, cast and financial issues, despite still renewing other shows and films that should surely face the same issues. The cancellation of The Society leaves viewers with countless questions, and is made even more painful when its taken into account the fact that the scripts had already been written and both the cast and fans were given false hope for months on end. In an effort to save the fan favourite series that features representation for both the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, and a complex plot that raises questions of morality, politics, leadership, etc, fans have taken to Twitter with the #SaveTheSociety and #RenewTheSociety hashtags to make some noise. We suggest also tweeting other streaming platforms such as Hulu, Amazon Prime Video & HBO Max to appeal for the show! -- source link
