Harry Bingham

**Harry Bingham** is one of the main characters in the first season of *The Society*. He is portrayed by Alex Fitzalan.

Harry is the epitome of privilege, being handsome and wealthy but other than that entirely unremarkable. Harry finds himself the leader of the roughly half of the population that would choose to recreate, in the New World, an exact replica of the world they left behind.

Harry is your typical spoiled rich boy and has a relationship with Kelly. He eventually is forced by Campbell to run for mayor and it does not go well.

## Early Life

Not much known about his early life. We know that his Father died 6 months before they left for the camping trip and came back to West Ham.

### Season 1

In episode 1, Harry and his girlfriend Kelly go to his mother's workplace and sees her in a secret and dramatic meeting. They ask Harry's mother about it and she says it is just "business as usual".

In episode 2, Harry asks Allie to join playing Fugitive. She joins, and at the party afterward, he tries to kiss her. Allie moves away from him but then suggests they go inside, where they have sex.

In episode 4, Kelly asks Harry if he had anything to do with the murder of Cassandra. He does not answer no.

Campbell signs up Harry as a candidate to be the leader of New Ham, since none of them like the way the Society shares resources. Harry takes part in the debate in episode 9, "I say it's time to give back what is rightfully yours. Control over your property, control over your destiny, control over your own lives."
## Personality

Harry is self-confident, to say the least. Aware of his privilege and intelligence, Harry prioritizes his material possessions and his privilege, which he is not afraid to fight for.

Through the series, Harry does not seem to understand the true extent that complete isolation will have on the value of his possessions so he continues to protect them.

Easily angered and temperamental, he can hold a grudge and is capable of manipulating truths to benefit himself. However, though he puts up a very unbothered or aggressive facade, Harry is actually very sensitive and can become emotionally dependent on others.

## Relationships

### Kelly Aldrich

*Main article: Harry and Kelly*
He was in a relationship with Kelly, but during a party in What Happened? he touches another girl and they get in a fight during which he says that Kelly doesn't "own" him and she breaks up with him. He makes many attempts to get back together with her but she doesn't want to, both because they had different opinions on how to live in this new town but also because she felt that she couldn't rely on him. Unfortunately, shortly after this, he falls into a state of depression. She is seen coming to check on his well being throughout the season, sensing a change in him, and Harry admits to being upset that she holds him making one mistake against him and abandoned him when he claims to have needed her the most. However, their relationship is once again strained when he takes Allie and Will into custody and takes over the town with Campbell, to which Kelly strongly disagrees with.

### Cassandra Pressman

Harry and Cassandra were long-time rivals in high school, especially after Cassandra beat Harry out for Student Council president. They both starred in their school play together and evidently have a long and complex history together. Harry doesn't agree with Cassandra's idea of democracy and hates the way the other girls in New Ham (including his on and off girlfriend Kelly) follow her. He also states in Episode 3 that he wishes she was dead, which supposedly triggers Dewey to murder Cassandra later in the same episode. However, he did admit to not meaning it, as he was in an alcohol-induced state at the time, and stated it as nothing more than an "ugly thought."

### Campbell Eliot

*Main article: Harry and Campbell*

Campbell seems to be one of Harry's closest friends as well as his drug supplier. He is offered cocaine by Campbell and soon becomes addicted. Campbell seems to be a bad influence on Harry, as he goads him on as he talks about how Cassandra is the reason he lost Kelly, and how she doesn't deserve to be the leader. He is also the one who convinces Harry to run against Allie and later lies about her rigging the election.

### Harry's mother

In *What Happened?*, Harry and his girlfriend Kelly go to his mother's workplace and see her in a secret meeting, they ask her about it and she says it is just "business as usual". Later Harry has a panic attack and goes to take some Xanax from his mom's bathroom cabinet and he discovers some condoms and goes to tells Kelly that his mother was "fucking" someone even though his dad only died five months ago. They later discover that she was having an affair with Kelly's dad.

### Allie Pressman

Harry and Allie get closer after his breakup with Kelly Aldrich and her rejection from Will LeClair. In *Our Town* he invites her to a game of fugitive. She initially declines as she thinks it's wrong that he is rude to her sister and acting friendly towards her. She later comes to play, at some point in the game she is hit by a car and Harry seems genuinely concerned. Later that night they hung out at his party and when it starts to rain they get inside and have sex.

At the prom in *Childhood's End* Harry asks her to dance after seeing Kelly dance with Will. She declines and tells him that this would complicate things too much. They later run against each other in the mayoral election. Allie then calls a meeting with Harry, trying to convince him to drop out of the race and to compensate she'll put him on the council, to which he declines to. She says she wishes there was a world where they were friends or possibly in a relationship by the way they act towards each other previously. Soon after this, he, along with Campbell, arrest her and Will and falsely accuse them of rigging the election.

**HollywoodLife** talked EXCLUSIVELY with **Kathryn Newton** about Allie and Harry, including whether or not they would have ended up together:

***“One hundred percent they are endgame. That’s it. They’re meant to be. They’re meant to be together,” Kathryn told HollywoodLife while promoting her new movie Freaky.***

### Will LeClair

Harry doesn't have a particular liking to Will, mainly because he knows about his crush on Kelly. The first day Will move to West Ham, it was revealed that Harry made fun of his shoes, probably not knowing that Will is a foster child. They never seem to share a common bond, and even though their fight over Kelly cools down by the end of the season, they show no sign of reconciliation thus far.

### Harry's Father

Harry's father died five months before their school trip. It is unknown how close their relationship was. All we know is that he left Harry a slew of gold bars after his death.

### Lexie Pemberton

Harry and Lexie first interacted in Childhood's End after Allie turned down his invitation to dance. As she walked towards him to get a drink, he complimented her dress. She responded by saying he has something on his shirt, before walking away from him.

It wasn't until the last episode that they once again shared an interaction. Lexie barges into the Mayor debate and signs up last minute. She then begins to trash talk both Harry and Allie's ideals. Because it seems that she was most likely to win the mayoral campaign, Harry, aided by Campbell and The Guard, try to convince her to join their cause and take the election. She declined at first, but when they made it clear they wouldn't take no for an answer, she surrendered. They then went to the church to announce to everyone that Will and Allie have been taken into custody, and she and Harry will be co-mayors.
