Fan Demand Could Revive a Canceled Show – But It’s Not ‘NCIS Hawaii’!

The landscape of modern TV is changing, showing that fans can influence the fate of their favorite shows. While examples of resurrected series are still relatively rare, the trend is positive, with another show potentially returning due to fan campaigns.

Despite the hopes of fans of recently canceled CBS shows like “NCIS: Hawai’i” and “So Help Me Todd,” the lucky series in question is not produced by CBS. Instead, it’s Netflix’s mystery adolescent thriller “The Society,” which captivated audiences with its debut season in 2019. The show was discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite its popularity.

Creator Christopher Keyser mentioned that the cancellation was primarily due to pandemic-related uncertainties. Fans have been vocal about their disappointment for years, which has encouraged Keyser to revisit the show and discuss its revival with Netflix. While the future of “The Society” remains uncertain, Keyser’s efforts demonstrate that not every canceled show is forgotten.

What’s the Point of ‘The Society’? Starring “Big Little Lies” actress Kathryn Newton, “The Society” follows a group of teenagers whose typical field trip takes an unexpected turn, transporting them to a strange reality where all the adults from their town have vanished.

Faced with the danger of limited resources, the characters must create their own societal rules to survive in a partially apocalyptic world.

Season 1 of “The Society” is available on Netflix.
