Everyone is on the lookout for "Wayward Pines" season 2. Originally designed as a one-off adaptation of author Blake Crouch's book trilogy, the thriller drama was officially renewed by FOX for a second season, which will reportedly introduce new characters.
When viewers check back in on the crazy little town, there will be a "serious rebellion" orchestrated by the residents who fight to "preserve the endangered human race." This premise will be told through the eyes of a new, yet-to-be-named character, who will find himself in the middle of the said conflict.
Details about this character and the plot FOX will go with in "Wayward Pines" season 2 should trickle in soon, considering the new season is scheduled to premiere summer of this year. For now, what's set in stone is that Chad Hodge will no longer be one of the executive producers.
When the first 10-episode season of the show came to a wild close, Ethan Burke, who came there as a special agent and died a sheriff, sacrificed his life for his family and the rest of the frightened inhabitants by blowing up the elevator that the Abbys could use to reach them.
However, his and everyone's efforts were eventually put to waste when the First Generation took over and continued the work started by David Pilcher, the creator of the false town. Ethan's son Ben, who was knocked out after hitting his head, woke up to an indifferent, more dangerous Wayward Pines.
FOX recognizes the fans' yearning for "Wayward Pines" season 2. After all, the first season, despite its limited number of episodes, became the most successful broadcast series of the summer last year. The network continues to keep its lips tight about the new season.
As per Korea Portal, viewers who read Crouch's novels felt that the storytelling was crammed in the first season, but with "Wayward Pines" season 2 official (it remains to be seen if the show could go on for more seasons), M. Night Shyamalan, who is returning to executive produce it, could take things slow this time.
