More casting news has come in for M. Night Shyamalan’s small screen endeavor, “Wayward Pines,” as Toby Jones has signed on to play Dr. Jenkins, a charismatic and mysterious psychiatrist.

Jones’ character treats a Secret Service agent (Matt Dillon) who arrives in a small Idaho town looking for two missing agents. Dr. Jenkins believes brain damage suffered in a car wreck is the source of the visiting agent’s paranoia. Then again, very little in the town of Wayward Pines is as it seems.

Carla Gugino and Melissa Leo co-star.

Based on the best-selling novel Pines by Blake Crouch, “Wayward Pines” is an intense, mind-bending thriller evocative of the classic cult hit “Twin Peaks.” “Wayward Pines” is set to debut in 2014.

Synopsis
Ethan Burke (Dillon) is a Secret Service agent who arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, Idaho, on a mission to find two missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan’s investigation only turns up more questions. Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the life he knew, from the husband and father he was, until he must face the terrifying reality that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
