Five years later, the call to renew The society is still going strong, and no one has heard it more than the creator of the show, Christopher Keyser. Speaking with Variety , Keyser revealed that there have been, and are, active efforts to bring the show back and provide a satisfying conclusion to one of the greatest mysteries to grace television. Keyser revealed that he stays in touch with the show's writers and Mark Webbwith whom he created it, saying:

“I'm in constant conversations with a bunch of the writers and Marc Webb about how we can get this back in some way. We don't have an answer yet, and I wouldn't count on it, but I don't do that with every show that gets canceled. The public still want to talk about it. They still want answers to questions and then they come up with new questions. I don't know if the world will work in a way that aligns with us, but we'll keep trying for a while because it got under my skin too.”

Keyser didn't reveal the next path to bring the show back and provide answers, but thanked fans for sticking with it, saying, “Thank you for not letting the show go. Things only live for a certain period of time and that's as long as people remember them, if that's remembered, there's not much more than people doing something for an audience.
