Fans of Billie Eilish will snap to attention upon hearing the 17-year-old nightmare pop sensation's "Bury a Friend" peppered throughout the trailer for Netflix's THE SOCIETY, an upcoming series that follows a group of teenagers who are mysteriously transported to a facsimile of their wealthy New England town without any trace of their parents. Their newfound freedom will be fun… but it will also be very dangerous. As they struggle to figure out what has happened to them and how to get home, they must establish order and form alliances if they want to survive.
The upcoming drama from showrunner Chris Keyser stars an impresive list of up-and-comers such as LEGION's Rachel Keller (Cassandra), Kathryn Newton (Allie), Alex Fitzalan (Harry), Kristine Froseth (Kelly), Jacques Colimon (Will), Sean Berdy (Sam), Toby Wallace (Campbell), Gideon Adlon (Becca), Olivia DeJonge (Elle), Alex MacNicoll (Luke), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Helena), Jose Julian (Gordie), Salena Qureshi (Bean), Jack Mulhern (Grizz), and Grace Victoria Cox (Lexie).
In addition to serving as showrunner, Keyser will also executive produce alongside Marc Webb. The 10-episode one-hour series is set to launch globally on Netflix on May 10.
The series looks to be a Twilight Zone-style elseworlds tale where a group of teens find themselves on the wrong side of reality. How many will die before they're able to return to their normal lives? Are there any other bangers included on the soundtrack? We'll have to wait until the show's debut to find out, but honestly, I think this looks pretty intriguing.
Oh, and if you're itching to hear Eilish's "Bury a Friend" in it's entirety, I've included the full video for the track below. I've been listening to her new album "When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go" obsessively since last week, and I highly recommend that you check it out. She's quite brilliant. Enjoy.
