TV show description:
A psychological thriller, this TV show is based on the best-selling series of books by Blake Crouch.
Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) drives to the bucolic town of Wayward Pines searching for two missing federal agents. One of the best Secret Service agents in the Seattle office, Burke is the man who knew missing agent Kate Hewson (Carla Gugino) better than anyone. They were more than partners — their relationship nearly destroyed Ethan’s marriage.
Everything changes when a truck slams into his car… and he wakes up in the Wayward Pines Hospital. The intense and unpredictable Nurse Pam (Melissa Leo) is at his bedside. It soon appears that Pam is more interested in harming than healing however. She and Ethan soon grow into deadly rivals, and her role in the town proves much deeper than anyone realizes.
Among the other residents Ethan meets are the mysterious Doctor Jenkins (Toby Jones), the psychiatrist who treats him at Wayward Pines Hospital; toymaker Harold Ballinger (Reed Diamond); Beverly (Juliette Lewis), a bartender who is as wary of Wayward Pines as he is; and Sheriff Arnold Pope (Terrence Howard), who takes offense at a Secret Service agent showing up on his turf.
Meanwhile, Ethan’s boss, Adam Hassler (Tim Griffin), attempts to update Ethan’s wife, Theresa Burke (Shannyn Sossamon) with the latest news. After arriving in Wayward Pines, Theresa and Ethan enroll their teenage son, Ben (Charlie Tahan), in the town’s only school. His teacher, Megan Fisher (Hope Davis), provides key information about the town’s origins.
Ethan’s continuing investigation only turns up more and more questions, and each one leads him to the most important question of all: What’s wrong with Wayward Pines?

great show,you must renew
Definitely need to renew Wayward Pines! I really like the show so there needs to be a second season. Whenever I like a series, they end up cancelling it!!!
I like Wayward Pines, too, but I can’t get upset about it ending. I believe when it premiered it was stated as a series which would be completed in ten episodes. Does anyone else remember that or am I confusing that statement with another series?
You are correct. It was slated for 10. But in the ratings world…starts and stops are merely suggestions.
Wayward Pines is a shining example of the new golden age of television we are now lavishly and ecstatically enjoying. Fascinating, fierce, fantastical frothy fun. Shyamalan unfolds the stories’ mysteries that enchant and surprise…shock and bewilder. Some of the writing, directing and acting is downright genius. Matt Dillon?…Juliette Lewis? Come on! How did we get so lucky. Every line, every move, every word — is totally, purely naturally reality….Making WAYWARD PINES the destination you simultaneously freak out and Tune In…DVR and want to pack and go to. Unlike so many series that show glowing promise in the first episode, (Under… Read more »
Fox does it again, get us interested in a great show and cancel it. You don’t give anything a chance.
I don’t know where you get your ratings but it can’t be right. Just put another stupid reality show on so I can stop watching Fox too. Renew Wayward Pines!!!!
Please have another season. This show went in so many directions, I first thought it was a conspiracy then I thought it was aliens taking people. I like to guess the plot of show, it makes me want to see the next episode. Suspense!!! Love it!!
I agree with all of the above comments. I am shocked it’s already being cancelled!!! Why? It’s an awesome show
I am devastated that this is only airing for one season. I was hooked immediately. Why is it being cancelled?
Keep Wayward Pines on for another season.
The only mystery to this show is why the fudge are you people canceling the show?
RENEW RENEW RENEW!!! All my friends and family watch, Can’t understand why it wasn’t renewed. A great thriller for people with an IQ!!!
Please renew Wayward Pines. It is so good. And suspenseful. Great actors. My favorite show
Renew wayward pines!!! How can you stop it now and leave the show unfinished! That is one of the most aggravating things that happens with new shows! You find a great show and they cancel it! Renew Wayward Pines Fox!!!
Wayward pines…we need season 2
