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?

What do you think? Do you like the Wayward Pines TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Wow, 2nd season turned into a great surprise. Its not a happy go lucky show. Its awesome suspense and dark twist that draw you in like nothing else… Great writing
Watched the first year and saw nothing really changed at the end. That should have ended it, but now they are back. Will we see the same things as in the first year and get the same results? I’ll pass.
So happy that another season starts this May!
Keep this show, I was sooooooo into it.
As much as I like the show and the books, I don’t think they will renew it. Because in the book the survivors find out that the food stores are running out. And the only way to survive is to go back to sleep in the “canisters” and program to be awakened 70,000,000 in the future. Having a show or two of the process involved doing that would be interesting. Just my piece of my mind.
It is coming back on May 25, 2016.
KEEP WAYWARD PINES GOING
They ruined the tv show with the way that they ended it. I suggest that you read the trilogy – they are small paperbacks and a very fast read. You will not be disappointed with the story. Just one spoiler – there is no elevator death in the book. I watched the show first and then read the books when I found out that they cancelled it. The last page of the 3rd book was a stunner.
I agree, the ending felt obviously trying to rush to closure. Thanks for the suggestion to read the trilogy..
Another great show cancelled stupid decision not enough good scripted shoes left bring it back please
I really enjoyed the show. It kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a real disappointment that they did not extend the show.
I hope the network reconsiders bring it back.
Matt Dillion is wonderful, why is Wayward Pines not on anymore!
Because whoever wrote the screenplay and produced it did a horrible job. If they had followed the books, they could have had a good 3 seasons.
I see poorly scripted shows being renewed and excellent ones like Wayward pines being dropped. What is wrong with FOX, THEY NEED TO RENEW Wayward Pines for another season.
Agreed.
Yes I love it Me,and my husband watch it and were,always on the,edge of our seats we’ve been waiting for season 2 very disappointing
I, too, was participating the second season. Matt Dillion was superb!
Not Happy! This was a great show, everyone I know thought the same. Was shocked to find out it ended. Matt D. was excellent.
This is a great show, with all sorts of twists & turns that make it interesting.
Sometimes a show needs a couple of seasons to rev up the larger audiences.
Wayward Pines is definitely worth keeping, especially after that cliffhanger of
a finale. Please bring it back for another season.
You should bring Wayward Pines. It was a great show and still would be if you guys brought it back, Maybe a Movie..I don’t know However I loved the show and how could you bring it back….I am sure there are amazing script writers that could work it out how Ethan is dead or has been hiding out..I dont know but BRING it BACK!!!!! What a great show..throw it on dvd and see how many people buy it like the Family Guy..if not enough I say goodbye..at least give us better ending. I hate great shows that don’t give a… Read more »
I just am finishing season one on Hulu and was looking forward to Season 2! I am so disappointed I love this show, I hope someone reconsiders. Such a great show and there are so few good ones!
Read the trilogy. You’ll appreciate the entire story.
