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.

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?
Please renew Wayward Pines. My husband and I rarely like the same shows but we both really enjoy this one. Thank you
Please dont cancel. This is my favorite show!!!
This series should come back for a second season i can’t get enough of it.
I know several people who wouldn’t watch this show because they thought it would be another “Lost” with endless questions and no answers. I was VERY pleased to see that answers WERE coming. I hope they renew this show, and it attracts back those who were afraid to give it a try. I’m even hooked on its companion piece, “Gone” on On Demand!
never heard of gone – i would like to read the books too after the show is over
In the beginning I was like what is this I’m confused but as the weeks passed I was hooked
I love it
My husband is big on rating shows Good & Bad and I’ve got him hooked we enjoy watching it together
So season 2 would be great.
I would be ok with it ending after season 1 with the whole town being destroyed. I like shows or movies that don’t end romantically, but end instead realistically. Not everything is a happy ending. Like Arlington Road, one of my favorite endings.
I love it! Please bring it back for a second season!
I like Wayward Pines. I think it’s a very good show. It’s mysterious and has potential to be an even greater show with strong characters who can actually act and a very interesting plot. I hope there is a season two, three, and so on.
I think you should renew Wayward Pines. It’s a wonderful show to watch and look forward to it each week! Love the suspense!
This show reminded me of Lost in the beginning, the not knowing wth was going on… I really love it!
but unlike lost we are getting answers ! i feel we were taken with lost – anyone can make up wild stuff if there is no unifying answer
Sad people are leaving, that’s the reason TV shows never did reveal, “the true”, but im in until the end, love this show
Love all the Twists and Turns of Wayward Pines and the great acting. I’m rooting for a second season!
I personally haven’t read the books but i was just up all night watching the first 6 episodes
and may i say WOW. I was intrigued almost instantly, All i know right now is i really want the
second season to start and I am Going to Start the Books. However i am a fast reader and i love books so the 3 book trilogy will be read in less than 2 days but i cant wait to get to see all the secretes…
TEN WEEK EVENT?
I wanted a beginning, middle & end.
But no, I will not watch season 2,3 etc. As the writers get replacedwhen they run out of ideas and it turns into another bloody residential sitcom.
Please end it at ten, I was enjoying it looking forward to a paced conclusion.
WOW! What a twist in the last episode. My wife and I are watching Wayward Pines again instead of the Under The Dome preview to see what further twists & turns it takes us on…
