Earlier this season, Terrence Howard starred in a new FOX show called Empire. It quickly became the biggest hit in network television in years and will be back for a second season. He’s co-starring in another new FOX show called Wayward Pines. Will that be a hit in the ratings as well or, will it be cancelled like so many others? Stay tuned to find out.
On Wayward Pines, Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) drives to the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, in search of two missing federal agents. One was a former partner and they once had an affair. A truck slams into his car, he wakes up in the local hospital, and things start to get really strange. The cast of this thriller series also includes Howard, Melissa Leo, Carla Gugino, Toby Jones, Shannyn Sossamon, Charlie Tahan, Reed Diamond, Juliette Lewis, and Tim Griffin.
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
7/17 update: FOX has made it official — there won’t be a second season of Wayward Pines.
7/24 update: Though FOX advertised the last episode as the “series finale”, talks of a second season continue.

These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Wayward Pines TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show it’s a number 1 in my book hope they don’t cancel it. I got my mom and dad interested in this show which is a very difficult they are hooked on other shows and I hope that many more will join can’t wait till tonight episode 6 oh yeah love it.
great show great cast great story but afraid to get too involved as all good shows get cancelled. would love to see it go for season 2 and forward.
My husband and I LOVE this show!! Super tired of great shows getting cancelled while the mediocre and terrible ones stay on!
If anyone has been watching Wayward Pines Howard ‘s character was killed off when Ethan’s wife & son come to town. When they were trying escape he got killed off by Matt Dillon.
I was leery at first, but its uniqueness is what has me hooked. In some ways the show reminds me of Person’s Unknown which was on NBC during the summer a few years back. Town in the middle of nowhere, no way out. Friend/family looking for lost one. Though there are differences as well.
Looks like a good show to run 10 episodes and avoid the silliness we now see with Under the Dome genre shows.
Another great show. I hope ratings increase.
Like the show.. Kind of spooky at times..
Makes no sense whatsoever. Continuity is terrible. I read the books and the only thing that is familiar is the name. This could have been a great series if it followed the books.
you do know that tv shows don’t follow the book exactly right? if they did why would you watch. the writers are alway’s given leeway. so my advise, don’t watch. keep reading.
OK so….I’m totally in for the long run.
This is a really good show hope it stays that way.
Creepy……but, I love it. Could NOT believe last nights episode…..Terrence Howard may have gotten in on another hit….Wow…CREEPY…
I loved the first episode! Creepy town, creepy people. Loving it!
Hey you had a hit with Backstrom and look where that is!!!! I likethis a lot also so it’ll probably be cancelled soon.
I’ll admit I’m sort of waiting to see if it makes it before I get too attached. I like Matt Dillon, but nothing this network does sticks because they don’t promote their shows and they bail on them too early without, say, trying them in a different time slot. I had my heart broken by Backstrom, and my daughter was pretty upset about Red Band (which failed opposite Modern Family — imagine that!). I’ll watch it on Hulu (where I will also be watching their cancelled show, The Mindy Project) if it gets renewed.
What a great first episode. Can not wait for the next episode.
I taped it, can’t wait to watch it
Watched the pilot which was o.k. however, I don’t think it will last. I’m giving it a chance but, we shall see.
it’s a 10 week event series. what do you mean it won’t last? it’s not supposed to.
I liked this show for its mysterious twists & turns. I’ll definitely watch it again.
By the way, it’s Idaho…not Indiana.
I caught that too! Idaho not Indiana!
Interesting because I think the materials from FOX said Indiana. Thanks for the catch.
