The Society's second season has been given an update, and it looks like we'll be waiting until the end of year to see it.
According to Deadline, season two looks set to hit Netflix in late 2020, having previously been slated to premiere at some point in the year.
On top of that, it's been revealed that star Olivia Nikkanen, who plays Gwen on the show, has been upped to a series regular.
The show follows a group of teenagers who are transported to a version of their town without any parents, where they have to form order and alliances in order to survive.
Gwen has quite a precarious status within the society and is prone to fits of anxiety that leave her quite vulnerable and isolated. However, her wits and talent help redefine her role in this new world.
The first season of The Society premiered in May last year, with the cast including Kathryn Newton, Sean Berdy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Jacques Colimon, Olivia DeJonge and Gideon Adlon.

Speaking to Digital Spy last year about the show's adult themes, creator Christopher Keyser explained: "Every question is how parents would receive the show. We worried all the time about what our responsibility was in producing content for kids, because television can be a suggestive medium.
"This is what we decided, what we said – a couple of things. First of all, there are kids who are essentially 18-year-olds, and the majority, like the world, are going to face this stuff. It’s an inevitability. Is it better to not do that, or avoid it? Or just to talk about it?
"I think it’s better to talk about it. The show does not fetishise any of that stuff. The most important thing for us to say is that all of those things – sex, potentially, or not always, as sex can just be simply a beautiful thing."
He added: "But sex, potentially, and certainly drug use, and maybe drinking in excess, or drinking in anyway, and absolutely violence – all of those come with consequences. And the consequences are things that matter."
The Society season one is streaming now on Netflix.
