It was a bloody and brutal ending indeed in the season finale of Fox's hit series "Wayward Pines." After ten episodes, the mystery drama had played its course, with three main characters dying and others barely surviving the holocaust.
After Ethan Burke's (Matt Dillon) revelation of the town's secret, David Pilcher (Toby Jones) shut down the power lines, allowing hundreds of man-eating Abbies to get inside the protective barriers. The acting sheriff sacrificed his life to stop the carnage by manually detonating bombs in the elevator shafts.
Meanwhile, Nurse Pam took matters in her own hands and ended the life of her brother Pilcher. Ms. Fisher (Hope Davis) was also one of the casualties. Ben (Charlie Tahan) was knocked unconscious by flying debris and when he came around, he discovered a more violent Wayward Pines. The First Generations had taken control of the town and their way of leading was possibly more catastrophic than Pilcher's.
In an interview with Deadline, executive producer M. Night Shyamalan answered questions regarding the possible continuation of the story. When asked if the other showrunners, Chad Hodge and Donald De Line, were thinking of season 2, he said they're not closing doors.
"We did sit down for a few days, and we talked about all kinds of things. 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," Shyamalan replied.
Meanwhile, when The Hollywood Reporter asked Hodge about the fate of Ben and the other surviving characters in "Wayward Pines," he was brief with his answer.
"What Ben does and how he responds will be up to your imagination to decide. There is no official season two yet, no talks yet. Nothing to report on that front. Obviously Wayward Pines could keep going but it was meant to be these 10 episodes," he said.
