As a teenager, the prospect of your parents temporarily disappearing probably sounds dreamy, but for this group of privileged teens in Netflix's new drama The Society, it sounds like it's about to turn into a NIGHTMARE.

The ten-part series has been described by the streaming service as a modern take on Lord Of The Flies - with a dollop of Gossip Girl sass and style - which follows a group of young people who are mysteriously transported to a facsimile of their wealthy New England town without any trace of their parents.

Netflix adds: "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."

In case you've forgotten, William Golding's classic novel, Lord Of The Flies, told the story of a group of young boys stranded on an uninhabited island who end up going fully feral when they attempt to form a hierarchy.

Cast members include Big Little Lies star Kathryn Newton, Legion's Rachel Keller, Jacques Colimon, and Olivia DeJonge.
