Wayward Pines first made its way onto air in 2015. It was adapted from a trilogy of novels written by Blake Crouch, with M. Night Shyamalan serving as an executive producer. The series lent itself well to Shyamalan's twisty reputation and focused on a secret service agent (played by Matt Dillon) who one day wakes up in Wayward Pines, Idaho with no memory of how he got there. He soon learned that there was more to this seemingly idyllic town than met the eye, encountering mysterious characters and finding himself unable to leave the town. Season 2 might as well have been an entirely different show. It focused on a new cast of characters but still explored the same central mystery in the same setting.
