Netflix's The Society actors are way older than the teenagers they play

1

Kathryn Newton

Allie's age: 17/18

Kathryn's age: 22

The Big Little Lies star takes the lead as Allie - a vulnerable but emotionally mature and charismatic teen who tries to make her peers see sense and act considerately in the wake of chaos.

Alex Fitzalan

Harry's age: 17/18

Alex's age: 22

The Australian Slender Man actor plays badass Harry Bingham, who has been getting away with his general awfulness due to his good looks and fast cars.

3

Sean Berdy

Sam's age: 17/18

Sean's age: 25

The Switched at Birth star plays Sam Elliot, and so far we can't get enough of his platonic and unconditional relationship with Gideon Adlon's Becca.

Sam is deaf and out and proud, and irl the actor has become a prominent face of the American Sign Language community, in much need of representation.

Toby Wallace

Campbell's age: 17/18

Toby's age: 22

Toby Wallace is so convincing as super-freaky, creepy Campbell that whenever he's on screen, he gives us the heebie-jeebies. And don't abuse Simon Says like that...

The Australian actor also played Corey O'Donohue in Neighbours.

5

Jacques Colimon

Will: 17/18

Jacques's age: 24

The actor, poet and activist plays level-headed Will, and frankly, if we were caught up in The Society's existential crisis, we'd definitely stick with him.

Olivia DeJonge

Elle's age: 17/18

Olivia's age: 21

The Australian actress plays the enigmatic Elle, who has become entangled in Campbell's murky dealings. Come on, someone make friends with her.

Natasha Liu Bordizzo

Helena's age: 17/18

Natasha's age: 24

The Greatest Showman actress plays Helena, who seems sensible enough so far -she's been uniting with her female contemporaries to keep the boys in line.

8

Gideon Adlon

Becca's age: 17/18

Gideon's age: 22

We love Gideon's Becca and her loyal friendship with Sam. Just. Tell. Us. Who. The. Father. Is.

9

Jack Mulhern

Grizz's age: 17/18

Jack's age: 20

Jack's Grizz is one of our favourite characters because we can't get enough of his sensitivity and his love for an emotive lyric or quote.

The star makes his acting debut in The Society.

Jose Julian

Gordie's age: 17/18

Jose's age: 22

Jose plays the sensitive and inquisitive Gordie. Could he be the one to solve the mystery behind the teen's new town?

Kristine Froseth

Kelly's age: 17/18

Kristine's age: 22

The Norwegian star plays Kelly, who's caught up in a dangerous love triangle between Harry and Will.

12

Alex MacNicoll

Luke's age: 17/18

Alex's age: 28

The 13 Reasons Why star plays locker-room-banter-loving jock Luke. God, we hope he does the right thing.

Salena Qureshi

Bean's age: 17/18

Salena's age: 22

The Madame Secretary star plays Bean, who might just help save these teens from losing their sanity. We want more of Bean if a season 2 is commissioned.

14

Rachel Keller

Cassandra's age: 19/20

Rachel's age: 26

The Fargo star plays Cassandra (possibly named after the princess in Greek mythology who is cursed to utter prophecies that were true but that no one believed?). She is the older sister to Allie, and all she wants to do is restore peace and order to her home town.
