“Wayward Pines” Gets a Second Season!
One of the biggest comebacks in recent memory was the 2015 run by M. Night Shyamalan, who not only directed the chilling The Visit, but was behind FOX’s awesome “Wayward Pines”
“Wayward Pines” was initially an “event series,” meaning it was to be a one-and-done season, with no second planned.
But, the first season, starring Matt Dillon, grew 33 percent with its season finale in the main 18-49 demographic. Its 1.2 rating tied a prior high.
FOX has since decided to continue the story, the network announced Wednesday.
The second season will pick up in the wake of Season 1, when a new arrival in the town Wayward Pines finds himself in the middle of a serious rebellion, as the residents battle over how to preserve the endangered human race, reports Variety.
“‘Wayward Pines’ was a huge hit for us this past summer,” said Fox Broadcasting Entertainment President David Madden in a statement. “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.”
The original cast included Dillion, Melissa Leo, Terrence Howard, Carla Gugino, Shannyn Sossamon, Toby Jones, Reed Diamond, Tim Griffin, Charlie Tahan and Juliette Lewis.
There’s no word yet on which cast members will return for Season 2, which will debut in summer 2016.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
