'Wayward Pines' Season 2 News: Wayward Pines season 2 renewal has still not been confirmed but Director M. Night Shyamalan is already talking new ideas.
Wayward Pines starred Matt Dillon alongside Oscar-winning Melissa Leo, Juliette Lewis, and Oscar-nominated actor Terence Howards. At the end of Season 1, the series' main character, Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon), died while sacrificing himself to save the kids of the First Generation. Dillon played Ethan Burke, a U.S. Secret Service agent investigating the mysterious disappearance of two of his fellow agents in Wayward Pines, Idaho. Night Shyamalan said that he was happy with how the show ended.
"Wayward Pines" is based on the trilogy novel "Black Crouch," but many fans of the books thought the show felt a bit too rushed after all three books were crammed into one show. In spite of signs, no not the movie by Shyamalan, of a non-renewal, fans are not giving up hope that the books will be covered.
"I'm genuinely being as open as I can. The one thing I'm fearful of television is its open-ended nature," Shyamalan told Deadline.
"I'm such an end backwards kind of filmmaker, storyteller, and that's what I loved about doing these 10 episodes."
Shyamalan is expected to start filming his new movie "Labor of Love," which will reunite the director with "The Sixth Sense" star Bruce Willis, after production on "Split" wraps up.
"I knew where I wanted to go. I knew I wanted the fences to come down," Shyamalan told Deadline.
"I knew where we were heading for the finale and so we could architecture the 10-episodes in that manner. So, I am happy to walk away, especially with such a wonderful reaction and all that stuff. But honestly, Blake and I do have an idea."
Fox is reportedly still open to the possibility of producing a second season of "Wayward Pines."
Showrunner Chad Hodge told Give Me My Remote that the chances of a renewal are unlikely and pointed out that the series was first supposed to be a miniseries.
