Wayward Pines Season 2 will air on FOX in Summer 2016

FOX has ordered Wayward Pines Season 2 for Summer 2016! The announcement about the renewal of the psychological thriller was made by David Madden, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

From M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, The Visit) and based on Blake Crouch’s international best-selling series of books, 10 all-new episodes of the suspenseful drama will be coming next summer. The second season will pick up in the wake of Season One, when a new arrival in Wayward Pines finds himself in the middle of a serious rebellion, as the residents battle over how to preserve the endangered human race.

“‘Wayward Pines’ was a huge hit for us this past summer. We were absolutely blown away by the mysterious and surprising world that Night and his team created, and the twisting-and-turning storytelling that drew viewers in from day one,” said Madden. “Season Two is going to take the suspense, the vision of the future and the haunting character drama to whole new levels, and we can’t wait for our fans to continue that ride next year.”

Season One of Wayward Pines ranked as Summer 2015’s No. 1 broadcast scripted series among Adults 18-49, averaging a 2.2/8 in the key demo. The series – about a Secret Service agent on a mission to find two missing federal agents in a sleepy Northwest town, and the shocking results of his investigation – ranked among Summer 2015’s Top 10 broadcast programs overall among Adults 18-49. The series earned a multi-platform average audience of 9.4 million, which represents a +145% increase versus its Live+Same Day audience – the largest multi-platform lift versus Live+Same Day ever for a FOX drama.
