Netflix Cancels Massachusetts-filmed Teen Drama Due To Pandemic

“The Society,”

  a Netflix drama series billed as a modern-day “Lord of the Flies” set in the New England suburbs, has been canceled by the streaming giant due to coronavirus-related logistical issues.

The show, which was filmed in Massachusetts in 2018, had already been renewed for season 2 back in July 2019. However, despite the show being well-liked by Netflix, COVID-19-related concerns about the show proved decisive, including uncertainty when season two could begin production, an increased budget due to safety measures, and the show’s large ensemble cast.

The town of Lancaster served as the primary filming location for season one, with Netflix even constructing a gazebo on the town green for filming purposes. Filming also took place in Ayer, Bolton, Carlisle, Concord, Devens, Grafton, Groton, Harvard, Lexington, and Sterling.
