'Wayward Pines' Season 2 News: FOX Contemplating Second Season with New Cast

As Ethan, Ben, Theresa and the remaining inhabitants of Wayward Pines have come to know the truth regarding the mystery surrounding their town; it is likely that they will have to depart in case FOX network really decides to come out with the second season of sci-fi thriller on television.

According to Christian Today, an exclusive report in Deadline states that the sci-fi thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan had got its audience share after earning nearly twice its demo delivery in Live+3, congregating a record-breaking percentage DVR increase for any season opener on FOX as well as a new series debut in 2014-2015 from any network.

In fact, the startling performance of the series has inspired FOX is probably getting interested in ordering one more season of 'Wayward Pines.' However, 'Wayward Pines' Season 1 was filmed more than two years back and, hence; speculations are rife that the second season will feature a new set of cast members as well as characters, but the setting will remain the same. If this turns out to be true, then lead actor Matt Dillon, and the other cast members including Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, and Carla Gugino may possibly not return to reprise their roles in the show.

The report in Deadline further states that executives from FOX are scheduled to sit down with the show's creative team to talk about another season of 'Wayward Pines.'
