It would be great," Hodge told The Salt Lake Tribune last year about a hypothetical Season 2. However, the door was left open just enough to allow for the possibility of a continuation: "Bring it on, yeah. Given the fact that the two projects were conceived of together, that Season 1 adapted all three novels, and that FOX originally billed Episode 10 as the "series finale" (see promo below), it's safe to say that Wayward Pines was originally supposed to be a one-and-done. "And then we continue our story after that with where Book 2 and Book 3 go." Shyamalan also revealed to the publication that he and Crouch were actually developing the show and the books in tandem, which led to "all kinds of cross-pollinating" between them. "You do find out the big truth halfway through the season," Hodge told The Salt Lake Tribune in advance of the series premiere last May. The game-changing reveal that came in Episode 5 of the show's 10-episode freshman season is actually the ending of Crouch's first novel. In fact, adapting Crouch's entire series to the screen in one fell swoop was always the plan. The 10-episode first season of Wayward Pines sped through the events of all three of Crouch's novels, which means Season 2 of the show will be entirely original. Thanks to other TV adaptations like Game Of Thrones, the one-book-per-season rule is an easy assumption to make - but in this case, it couldn't be further from the truth.
So Season 1 of Wayward Pines obviously covered the first book in Crouch's series, and there's two more books' worth of source material left, right? Wrong. The freshman season of the "event series" was adapted from a trilogy of books published by Blake Crouch between 20 titled Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town, respectively. But is Wayward Pines Season 2 based on a book, like the first? Well regardless of the network's original intentions, the eerie series was a big enough ratings success that Wayward Pines was renewed for a second season, which will be premiering this Wednesday night. But that ambiguous qualifier - "event series" - made it unclear whether the show was a finite miniseries, or whether it would return for a second season. Last summer, FOX took us to a creepy town with a ton of secrets in its "event series" Wayward Pines, produced and directed by M.
