“Insanely addictive” Netflix drama whose cancellation devastated fans has return addressed by star

Kathryn Newton, known for her role in The Society, has talked about reprising her character, Allie Pressman, in the popular Netflix series. The show, which first came out in 2019, centers around a group of teens who come home to find their town deserted and their parents missing.

The show was originally picked up for another season, but it was cancelled after only one season aired. The streaming service cited COVID-19 as the reason.

The first season concluded with a shocking twist: the parents were still in the original town, believing their teenage children were lost or had died.

At the London premiere of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Sam Newton told HELLO! that people frequently approach her to discuss her work on the teen drama.

Newton stated she’d immediately return to the show if Netflix renewed it, saying she’d be eager to play the role again.
