'Wayward Pines' Season 2 Renewed or Canceled? Hope for a New Season Sparked
After the chaotic and bloody finale on the first season of Fox's hit supernatural drama TV series "Wayward Pines," fans were left wondering if the tale will be continued for another season.
Earlier reports seem to confirm that there won't be any as the network has designed the show as a stand-alone limited series. But, new developments emerged indicating that there might be a second season after all.
Fox CEO Dana Walden stated that the network is now exploring a follow-up.

"M. Night Shyamalan and the author of the book series (Blake Crouch) just started conversations about it, perhaps it would be another miniseries event … if the author can lay in the future book series," Walden said in a statement.
Shyamalan himself told Deadline about his conversation with the author.
"I did ask [Crouch] to come over to my house, which he did. We did sit down for a few days, and we talked about all kinds of things, and we both felt very good about our time together," he said.
"We both made a pact saying if we did decide to do something more here that we would approach it with a very high level of integrity and not let the opportunity dictate it because we're both happy to walk away ... So I am happy to walk away, especially with such a wonderful reaction and all that stuff. But honestly, Blake and I do have an idea."
However, if it's executive producer Chad Hodge to be asked, the season finale was really the show's end.
"It was the end. Period. Really what it does is it comes full circle. Just as Ethan woke up in episode 1 and found himself in this strange town of Wayward Pines in a hospital bed with a nurse standing above him, and then he walks up Main St. to find this strangely odd town and people staring at him, it's actually partly shot-for-shot exactly what we did in the first episode as Ben comes up Main St. and sees people staring at him," Hodge told Entertainment Weekly.
