About “Wayward Pines” Season 2:
“WAYWARD PINES,” last summer’s No. 1 scripted series on broadcast television, returns for a second season Wednesday, May 25, 2016 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), on FOX. From executive producer M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, The Visit), the psychological thriller is based on the rich world created by author Blake Crouch in his international best-selling series of books.
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 1, 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.
