Described by Netflix as a modern take on 1954 dystopian novel Lord of the Flies, The Society follows a group of teenagers who find themselves mysteriously transported to a twisted version of their wealthy New England town, West Ham.
The Society stars a cast of up-and-coming stars like Australia’s own Natasha Liu Bordizzo and has a “female-centric” approach to the classic tale.
