Second Season of ‘Wayward Pines’ May Have All-New Cast


Is anyone out there watching M. Night Shyamalan and Chad Hodge‘s TV series Wayward Pines on Fox? The series debuted about two years after it was picked up by the network, and while it didn’t do so well when it premiered up against the season finales of The Blacklist and Scandal, it’s actually found a decent audience since then. But while the live numbers weren’t anything to write home about, Wayward Pines gained a record percentage DVR lift of 90% for a 1.9 rating, which isn’t bad at all. In the weeks since, it’s actually gained a consistent viewership (especially after DVR numbers come in), but that could get shaken up if the show may get a second season with a whole new cast.

Deadline reports there is currently interest in a second season of the mystery series, but if Fox happens to order one, there’s a chance that cast members like Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino and Melissa Leo won’t be back. Because it took so long for the show to make it to air, the options to bring back all the actors expired awhile ago. Juliette Lewis and Terrence Howard even went on to star in Secrets and Lies and Empire respectively in the time it took for Wayward Pines to make it to air. So as of now, the idea is to have a second season follow an entirely different set of characters, but have it set in the same world. It would be a mix of the recently popular anthology series format and the more traditional serial narratives, which could be interesting. It’s still early days though, and there’s no guarantee that Wayward Pines will actually get renewed. Personally, I haven’t give then series a chance yet, so I can’t say whether this concept would make me less disinterested in the show, but surely viewers will have an opinion on the matter if this idea should become realized. If you haven’t watched any of Wayward Pines and you’re thinking about giving it a shot, here’s the series trailer and synopsis.
