* NamesTheSame: The character Sam Eliot is just one letter off from the same name with [[Creator/SamElliott the actor.]]

* ActorSharedBackground: Natasha Liu Bordizzo, like Helena, is mixed race.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Averted. The show takes place in a small town in Connecticut, and it's filmed in the New England area— Lancaster, Massachusetts, to be precise.

* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: Sean Berdy, who plays Sam, really is deaf.
* FakeAmerican: A good number of the main cast (Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Olivia [=DeJonge=], Alex Fitalan, and Toby Wallace) are all Australians playing Americans (Helena, Elle, Harry, and Campbell respectively).

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite positive critical and audience reception, it was not renewed until a couple of months after its premiere; as it was, Spring 2020 was the earliest time to accommodate filming. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in shooting being suddenly delayed ''just a few days'' before it was scheduled to begin. The show was originally planned to begin shooting again in the fall but just weeks before the beginning of production, Netflix abruptly canceled the show instead. It's speculated that the increased production costs due to COVID-19 combined with the show's large cast put it high on Netflix's cancellation list. None of this, however, was apparent to the cast and crew so the decision came off as a ''huge'' shock to both them and audiences (quickly inciting a '''massive''' fan backlash online, with Netflix’s social media sites being flooded with spam posts in the months after, demanding the cancellation to be reversed). While some saw the show as a simple victim of pandemic circumstances, many more blamed the delay in renewing the show, as well as Netflix's tendency to constantly start new original series (meaning ''The Society'' had to compete for budget with many shows that haven't even premiered).
