‘Wayward Pines’ Season 2 Bringing Back Familiar Faces In May

Fox’s Wayward Pines was last summer’s No. 1 scripted TV series. Terrence Howard, Carla Gugino, Hope Davis, Melissa Leo, Toby Jones, Shannyn Sossamon and Charlie Tahan will be returning for season 2 which premieres on May 25.

This is big news since (spoiler) most of the cast did not survive, as the show was originally intended as a one-season project.

M. Night Shyamalan is producing the 10-episode psychological thriller based the bestselling book trilogy by Blake Crouch. The new season will pick up where the last season left off with a new resident of Wayward Pines awakening from suspended imagination.

This season will star Jason Patric as Dr. Theo Yedlin, as well as golden globe nominee Hope Davis (who was also featured on season one) and two-time Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou. Yedlin is the recently awakened resident, while Hounsou will play a historian who has extensive knowledge about the origins of the town.
