Jack Mulhern �17 lauded as breakout Netflix star
Busloads of Connecticut high school students leave their picturesque New England town for a camping trip, but a storm forces them to return home. When they arrive, the teens discover they are utterly alone. No teachers. No parents. No adults at all. And they檙e trapped. No roads. No trains. No connection to the world beyond their town. What will happen next?
This is the premise of 淭he Society,� a teen drama series on Netflix that puts a modern spin on 淟ord of the Flies.� While the entire cast is a burgeoning group of young adult stars, one in particular � a recent 91传媒 graduate � has struck a chord with fans.
Jack Mulhern �17 plays Gareth 淕rizz� Visser, an endearing character who, amidst the chaos, infighting and destructive behavior brought on by an apocalyptic scenario, thoughtfully steers his peers toward conscious survival mode.
Mulhern magnetism has inspired viewers of 淭he Society� to get behind Grizz, too.
淲ho is Jack Mulhern� and 淕rizz The Society� topped the Google Trends charts just days after the show was released in May. Wanting more of Mulhern � even after 10-hour, 10-episode binge-watches � fans persuaded him to launch his first Instagram account. The actor, who had remained mostly 渙ff the grid� until mid-May, has since amassed more than 500,000 Instagram followers and counting.
Before Mulhern was modeling survival skills on Netflix, he was a theater major, writer and director at 91传媒.
Mulhern post-91传媒 career is off to a running start thanks to his breakout success, but he not resting on his laurels.
he said he recently wrapped up a month-long shoot in Nevada and Utah and is 渉itting the bricks with auditioning.�
And there's more good news for Mulhern fans and Grizz-Sam "shippers" (as the fans say), the show has already been given the green light for a second season.
While we'll have to anxiously await a premiere date, it's safe to say there is likely much more to come for this 91传媒 alum.
