40 free The Society trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The Society dropped a busload of high school students back into their hometown and took everyone else away. No parents, no police, no way out: just a crowd of teenagers who have to decide who is in charge, who eats, and what happens when one of them commits a crime. It ran for a single season on Netflix in 2019 and still has fans asking what was meant to come next. This quiz covers the whole story: the first night of freedom, the rules that follow, the trial that divides the town, the holiday dinner that goes badly wrong and the power grab in the finale. It also covers the people who made it, from the cast and their later roles to the creator, the directors and where the series was shot. The first questions are for anyone who watched the season once; later ones are for viewers who remember the smaller details. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you can play it straight or use it to settle an argument about how the season ended.
