Given that Netflix produces a seemingly infinite number of original television shows, it’s always a toss-up as to whether or not a new series that you fall in love with will get a chance at returning for Season 2. Some shows get completely overlooked upon release and get cancelled after just one season, regardless of their overall quality. Others only stick around for a couple of seasons before getting written off. This has led to a plethora of unfortunate cancellations over the past couple of years, but that’s not always the case. On Tuesday morning, Netflix delivered good news to fans of The Society.
