Christopher Keyser, who created “The Society,” found out Thursday that Netflix was suddenly pulling the plug on his show. The streamer, which also canceled “I Am Not Okay With This,” released a sta…

, “We’re disappointed to have to make these decisions due to circumstances created by COVID.”

The first season of “The Society,” inspired by William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies,” reflected the chaos of living under the Trump administration, and the fragility of a just society. But this spring, as the coronavirus quarantines cleaved the United States into factions, the show had inadvertent resonances with the political upheaval of recent months as well. Keyser said those echoes would have continued in Season 2: “It would have been on point.

Another issue was that the show’s action left off in December, but Season 2, Keyser said, “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. Both actors said they thought they were going back to set in two weeks, in order to begin filming on Sept. 20. As Adlon’s mother, Pamela — the “Better Things” creator and star — voiced her displeasure of the show’s axing, “bulls—!,” in the comments, Gideon solicited fan theories: “We want to know what the fans thought was going to happen.”

Keyser would like to be able to share with fans “what we were planning for this season — but it’s a little too soon.” But because of the “Lord of the Flies” model, Keyser said, there would have been “a descent into greater darkness — the rules don’t hold.”
