'Wayward Pines' Season 2 Release News: Set To Premiere In Summer 2016?
"Wayward Pines" season 2 is not cancelled and will be back in Summer of 2016. David Madden, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, announced that the series is preparing for a second season.
The network will give the series another go after getting good ratings during the first season. Madden has praised the story by M. Night Shyamalan. IMDb gave it a 7.8/10 on its ratings while Rotten Tomatoes gave 86/100.
"'Wayward Pines' was a huge hit for us this past summer. 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," Madden said according to Coming Soon. "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," he added.
Season 2 will have 10 new episodes filled with drama and suspense which will pick up where it left off during season one.
A new rival in Wayward Pines will go on a "serious rebellion" as the residents battle over how to preserve the diminishing human race.
According to TV.com, Chad Hodge, the show's executive producer will not come back for season 2. Also, season 2 will have different cast members because the options for the previous season's characters lapsed. According to Design and Trend, we should expect a same world but with different set of characters.
There is no exact day yet when the second season will premier. Fox has not given any details regarding the matter. Stay tuned for more updates.
