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.

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’m very disappointed that Wayward Pines wasn’t renewed. The whole idea of the show was different from anything else on tv now which is why it held your interest. It was nice to watch an outside of the box show that didn’t involve a vampire, werewolf, or zombie and was never predictable. Such a waste of a good show concept. Hopefully another network will pick it up.
Please renew Wayward Pines.
someone please explain the ending
The 1st generation took over the town and killed all the adults
The 1st generation left the jail went to staging area that had stockpile of weapons and ammunition. They overpowered Kate and survivors, put them in suspended animation and continued to run wayward pines as David Pilcher intended. The last shot shows matt dillon ‘ s character hanging with a sign around his neck.
The kids that left were in the school took over Wayward Pines and continued the original plan of the creator. It ended well but left room to continue the series.
We want more wayward pines. Please renew.
Wayward Pines is such an incredible television series. Action packed, fast moving and yet full of clever plot twists and turns. Recommended it to all of my friends and family, who all love it too! Would be absolutely gutted if it were cancelled, left on such a cliff hanger too! Never watched a TV series as brilliantly thought out as this!
I think the last showing of wayward pines should have been a 2 hour showing since there won’t be a 2nd season of this spectacular show the cast is great will miss the show
Finished watching this compulsive viewing series in Australia. Loved it on all levels great acting,plot. It’s time for Fox to.bring Second Season out of suspension.for the good of TV mankind.
is this FOX related to fox cable news ? i already don’t watch that !
Renew waywards pines please I was getting into the show and I won’t if you guys keep cancelling shows that people like watching
this is the second show that has been canceled after one season i like. so now your canceling waverly pines. this is starting to tick me off and just stop watching your station all together. keep them on or just don’t show them plan and simple. what we need to do is ban this channel and then they’ll see our votes means something.
oops i said waverly pines and it’s wayward pines. lol
Same here
I think this show, Wayward Pines should be renewed for another season. It’s interesting, futuristic and fascinating. Fox has a bad habit of developing and then killing good sy-fi
shows. This show should live on, if not on Fox then somewhere else. Mainstream TV has become a true wasteland of trash game shows and unfunny family shows and that why more and more people are turning to other non mainstream channels to watch some tv.
The end of network tv is near.
We want imagination in what we watch, not dribble.
sincerely
me
Another original quality series, now gone. It had a great original story, excellent cast, and high production value.
I guess that isn’t acceptable for the demographic. So bring on more garbage. Maybe run 3 bachlorette shows at a time.
unfortunately you nailed it
Exactly, I wish they would stop airing garbage reality TV and game shows and go back to real entertainment. I don’t watch regular tv for that reason just scan Hulu for shows that might be good and found this one. I started watching it as it aired because it was good! Imagine if they aired good shows instead of trash all the time!
We want a new season of Wayward Pines, we love this series! Bring it back for season two
Wayward Pines was my favorite show! Is there any hope that it will appear on ANY channel or Netflix?
Oh no!! Just heard there is no season 2. I am tired of getting into a GOOD show and the networks pulling it!! I’m ready to drop TV all together. These network gurus are brain dead. They keep dumb stuff and get rid of the good stuff!!
it didn’t help that it took around 2 years to air the series after they filmed it – by now the actors have moved on – there was talk that a second season would have
an all new cast but now there is no second season – maybe one series covers all 3 books?
It appears so, and it also explains why it took so long to film…it had to wait on the books. The plot of Crouch’s first novel in the trilogy, Pines (2012), is covered over the first five episodes of the TV series. The second and third novels, Wayward (2013) and The Last Town (2014), make up the remaining five episodes. After reading the source material Shyamalan said of the project, “As long as everybody isn’t dead, I’m in”, his “only rule” to secure his participation. He noted that the TV series varies from the books in some ways, but as… Read more »
good information thanks! i am thinking of reading the book – are they good anyone know?
They’re different from the show but in my opinion I enjoyed them just as much. I expected the books to be different but they do give good detail and explain things the show didn’t without boring you. I’d recommend them if you enjoy the show. Just keep an open mind about a different outcome so you can still enjoy the storyline, keeps it from being ruined though!
I have been enjoying Wayward Pines since day one. I really hope there is a season 2. Matt Dillon is great. Keep up the good work. Please let come back for another season.
You’re exactly right
Wait, there’s books?!! Aww man I need those. I hope the show doesn’t get cancelled, my husband and I watch it together and he’s already upset that I cheated on him (not really) by watching the “Gone” series without him.
Love this thriller !
