The Society is officially coming back for season 2, so here’s everything we know so far…
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
In news that will either excite or terrify you, Netflix's The Society has officially been renewed for a second season. The streaming platform made this announcement on Tuesday, July 9 with a video featuring all the cast members. "We can't wait for you guys to see what happens next. It will be worth the wait," Jacques Colimon, who plays Will, says in the clip.
Here's hoping that's true. After all, the season one finale left us with some pretty brutal cliffhangers. Who is the father of Becca's baby? Is there a future for Sam and Grizz? And most importantly, what the hell will happen to New Ham now that Allie's been overthrown as leader?

For those who need a quick refresher on The Society, it centres on a group of high school seniors who return home from a trip to find their town completely deserted. Literally everyone is gone: their family members, other friends, random people in town. Everyone! Gone! At first they revel in this lack of parental supervision, throwing wild parties in the town's church and stealing junk food from the grocery store. But soon reality sets in that all is not well, and the group descends into chaos.
After her sister is murdered, Allie (Kathryn Newton) becomes the town's de facto leader and creates a plan to maintain order. By the end of the season, though, she's made some powerful enemies who dismantle her regime. And what's more: We learn the group's town hasn't actually been deserted. Rather, they're in a parallel universe, residing in a place that just looks like their home. Creepy, right?
Details about The Society season two are sparse at this time, but here's what we do know:

Campbell's plans for domination will fall through.
The Society's resident villain played a key role in overthrowing Allie, and now he's partially in power. But Toby Wallace, who plays Campbell, doesn't think his character will ultimately get what he wants. "The way things end in the show, theres quite a lot of potential for the shift in power and a shift in kind of alliances between characters, including the relationship between me and Elle, and various other characters,” he told Cosmopolitan. “I think Campbells mission to get power, as successful as he seems to be, will probably fall at some point…Ill be surprised if hes completely successful.”

Harry and Allie might join forces.
They're on opposing sides by the season finale—Harry's now in power, and Allie's imprisoned—but Kathryn Newton, who plays Allie, thinks that might change. "Harry really likes Ally, he might help her out and come back around," she tells Cosmo. "He looked pretty sad when she was taken away.”
Grizz and Sam will probably become a couple.
