“Wayward Pines” had an interesting first season, and the show managed to quickly gather a large crowd of followers who were excited from the beginning all the way to the last episode of season 1. And now that the show is over for the time being, speculations are running wild about season 2 and what it could show to fans. There are many possibilities for where the story can go right now, and the producers are likely evaluating their approach very carefully, because after a successful first season, it’s important to maintain the momentum and keep fans even more excited with new developments.
We don’t know much about the showrunners’ future plans right now, but there are claims that season 2 is planned for the summer season and is going to air in a few months. From what we’re able to tell, it sounds like there is a lot of interest in continuing the story as the show saw good ratings in its first season and there is a strong potential for a second one.
It’s entirely in the style of M. Night Shyamalan to create a story that captivates his viewers and takes them on a wild rollercoaster, but even this show managed to surprise his fans and gave them something exciting to discuss. Some were worried that Shyamalan could be losing his touch and his style might be getting a bit worn out, but that definitely doesn’t seem to be the case as far as “Wayward Pines” is concerned. The plot twists in the show’s first season were carefully placed and very appropriate for every point of the story where they occurred.
And now, it sounds like season 2 will be even more full of suspense and thrilling moments. We don’t know how much more the director could ramp up the tension and what he could do to make his fans scratch their heads more than they already were, but we are confident that he has a few tricks up his sleeve and we might see a new season that will do even more with the premise.
There are some changes in the lineup of showrunners, according to some rumors, and this got some fans worried to some extent. It’s been reported that Chad Hodge is not taking part in the production anymore, while on the other hand there will be new additions to the people responsible to the series. How exactly this would reflect on the show’s quality and if the new showrunners will be able to retain everything that made season 1 so good remains to be seen. But we are confident that these changes were done in a way that will not clash with the base ideas of the show and we are going to see more of what made “Wayward Pines” so good in the first place. Plus, there might be more changes coming that could make fans even more interested in the new style of the production.
All in all, the trends among the rumors that we’ve been hearing seem to lean towards the idea of bringing more challenges to the residents of Wayward Pines, and making their lives more difficult in some ways. Fans might have to get used to the idea that their favorite characters will go through situations that could bring lasting changes to their personalities, so those who were attached to a particular quality of some character in season 1 might find themselves less attached to the show in its new installment.
