Christopher Kryser, the creator of the Netflix series The Society, is reacting to the news that the streaming service has canceled the show.

The show had already been renewed for season two, but Netflix just decided to scrap plans for the second season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We spent the last bunch of months getting ready to go back again, dealing with all the COVID protocols,” Christopher told Variety. “And then I got a call from Netflix saying, ‘We have made this decision.’ It was obviously pretty upsetting and abrupt.”

Production was supposed to begin on season two in March, but it was delayed due to the pandemic. The storyline of the first season ended in December and the second season “was meant to be shot mostly in the summer — but we were heading back into fall and winter. And then they made the decision that it was too much. That’s, I guess, how it goes. I can’t pretend I’m surprised. I know we had many months of conversations about the challenges of producing in this environment.”

See how some of the actors of the show reacted to the sad news.

Kathryn Newton is opening up about The Society‘s cancellation from Netflix, just after one season.

The 23-year-old actress played Allie Pressman on the series, opposite Gideon Adlon, Alex Fitzalan and more, who also spoke out after the announcement.

“Very sad news this morning. Not sure what to say right now but I wanted to share some pics of my time on set for season 1 of The Society. Love you all ❤️,” Alex shared on his Instagram, with a handful of behind-the-scenes photos from filming.

Gideon shared a short thank you to her sign language coach for the show on Instagram.

“Big big big love to my sign language coach on @thesociety @rlmoriarty. 🤟🏼 you always. I could not have achieved this without you and @seanberdy,” she wrote.

Kathryn took to both Twitter and Instagram to address the cancellation.

“I am proud,” she shared with a screenshot of the cast on a video call.

Kathryn and Gideon also shared a video call that they had later on. See it below!

The Society and this other young adult show were cancelled due to the pandemic.

Netflix has announced some unfortunate news – two shows that had previously been given renewals for more seasons have now been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The streaming service has announced that the new shows The Society and I Am Not Okay With This will no longer be moving forward with the planned second seasons.

THR reports that even though the renewal for I Am Not Okay With This had not been announced, scripts for season two were already written.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to move forward with second seasons of The Society and I Am Not Okay With This,” Netflix said in a statement. “We’re disappointed to have to make these decisions due to circumstances created by COVID, and we are grateful to these creators, including: 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 tirelessly to make these shows for our members around the world.”

It is being reported that the cancellations are due to “uncertainty surrounding production dates, efforts to balance the needs and scheduling availabilities of a large cast (like The Society) and unexpected budget increases because of the pandemic prompted both cancellations.”
