FOX has announced that M. Night Shyamalan’s hit series Wayward Pines is set to return for a ten-episode second season in 2016.
“Wayward Pines was a huge hit for us this past summer,” states President of Entertainment Fox Broadcasting Company David Madden. “We were absolutely blown away by the mysterious and surprising world that Night and his team created, and the twisting-and-turning storytelling that drew viewers in from day one. Season Two is going to take the suspense, the vision of the future and the haunting character drama to whole new levels, and we can’t wait for our fans to continue that ride next year.”
Wayward Pines was the #1 broadcast scripted series among the 18-49 demographic, averaging a 2.2/8 rating. The second season will see Mark Friedman (Believe, The Forgotten) taking over as showrunner from Chad Hodge, who helped develop the series with Shyamalan from Blake Crouch’s book.
