M. Night Shyamalan’s second season of “Wayward Pines” returns to FOX Wednesday, May 25, 2016 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
The biggest mystery of the new season revolves around the “Abbies,” the creatures running amok behind the giant gate keeping the Wayward Pines residents safe. Now that we know that this post-apocalyptic future is a reality, what does this mean for the Abbies? The new poster teases that there may be a problem, and it’s that these monsters are fertile. As Doctor Ian Malcolm once said, “Life finds a way.”
Starring Jason Patric (Rush, Narc), two-time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America), and Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Hope Davis (“American Crime,” “The Newsroom”), the 10-episode second season will pick up after the shocking events of Season One, with the residents of Wayward Pines battling against the iron-fisted rule of the First Generation. Dr. Theo Yedlin (Patric) – a new resident of Wayward Pines – awakens from suspended animation and finds himself in the middle of this rebellion, as he tries to understand what Wayward Pines really is and help preserve the endangered human race.
Also joining the second season are cast members Tom Stevens (“Cedar Cove”), returning from Season One as Jason Higgins, a member of the First Generation and Pilcher’s young acolyte; Nimrat Kaur (“Homeland”) as Rebecca, who has her own secrets she keeps from Theo, her husband; Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men: Days of Future Past) as Xander, a resident working to undermine Wayward Pines from within; and Kacey Rohl (“Hannibal”) as Kerry, one of Jason’s lieutenants in the civil war going on in Wayward Pines.
Additionally, several Season One cast members will appear in Season Two, including Carla Gugino (Kate Hewson), Toby Jones (DR. Jenkins/David Pilcher), Melissa Leo (Nurse Pam), Tim Griffin (Adam Hassler), Shannyn Sossamon (Thersa Burke), and Charlie Tahan (Ben Burke).
The psychological thriller is based on the rich world created by author Blake Crouch in his international best-selling series of books.
