While FOX has yet to announce season 3 of "Wayward Pines," several speculations about the next season's plot have emerged online.
Several speculations claimed that "Wayward Pines" season 3 will center on the relationship between the humans and abbies in the mysterious town 1,000 years after the events of season 2.
At the end of the previous season, fans of the series were kept hanging because they have no idea who won in the battle between the humans and the abbies. But Blake Crouch, executive producer and writer of the novels where the series was based on, told Zap2it that the cliffhanger was intentional.
"I think we've set up a pretty big premise with the idea of half of Wayward Pines going back into suspension and what awaits them when they step out?" the executive producer said. "What happens to those who were left behind? And what is the state of the Abbies when we find them?"
He also revealed that they really intended to make the series last for three seasons, which means that it will conclude after season 3.
But while waiting for the announcement for the third season, FOX Television Group chairman and CEO Dana Walden told the panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that they are confident that a third season of "Wayward Pines" will likely happen.
"I definitely think there could be a season three," Walden said during the panel, as reported by Slash Film. "It's still the number one scripted show of the summer. It struggled. Most shows struggle year to year. We don't know yet what we're going to find when the multi-platform numbers roll up, ultimately how big that audience is. I think I'm sharing a point of view of Night's that the first couple episodes were trying to find its way in a reset. By sort of the third episode on, it really hit its stride. It's hard when you have to reinvent a series each season."
