'Wayward Pines' Season 2 Spoilers: A Newcomer Joins Rebellion
Fans will be happy to hear that the hit series "Wayward Pines" will be receiving a second season.
After the shocking finale of "Wayward Pines" season 1, the return of the series was put in question. The creator of the series, Chad Hodge, previously explained that the series was meant for just one season. Therefore, there were speculations that the series will not be continued.
However, it was revealed that FOX finally renewed the series for another season, consisting of 10 episodes. Unfortunately, Hodge will no longer be involved in the upcoming season; instead, the series will be continued by executive producers M. Night Shyamalan, Donald De Line, Ashwin Rajan, and Mark Friedman. The author of the "Wayward Pines" book, which is the source material of the series, Blake Crouch, will also be posing as an executive producer for the upcoming season.
According to Variety, the president of entertainment for the FOX Broadcasting Company, David Madden, shared his sentiments about the series. He stated, "'Wayward Pines' was a huge hit for us this past summer. We were absolutely blown away by the mysterious and surprising world that Night and his team created, and the twisting-and-turning storytelling that drew viewers in from day one. Season Two is going to take the suspense, the vision of the future and the haunting character drama to whole new levels, and we can't wait for our fans to continue that ride next year."
It was reported that the upcoming season of "Wayward Pines" will continue from where the finale of season 1 ended. It will feature a newcomer dealing with the chaos and rebellion in Wayward Pines. With that, fans are also wondering just how the story will continue since one of the main characters of the series, Ethan, had died at the end of the previous season.
"Wayward Pines" season 2 is expected to release mid-2016.
