When May arrived, M. Night Shyamalan-produced "Wayward Pines" began airing its 10-episode run which was poised to be a summer event rather than a full-blown show. Scarcely did viewers realize that the Fox mystery drama series was going to be a smashing hit thanks to TV viewers across the United States.

Indeed, the finale of the show's freshman season ended on a high note with substantial viewers' ratings. The viewer numbers are there, but the burning question is whether its creators are ready for another season.

Shyamalan spoke to Deadline in an interview following the unexpected season finale end that saw Ethan's son Ben wake up in exactly the same way his father did when the series premiered in May. While the director-cum-producer denied plans for a second season, "The Sixth Sense" director confirmed that there was a plan for the show's sophomore season.

"I knew where I wanted to go. I knew I wanted the fences to come down. I knew where we were heading for the finale and so we could architecture the 10-episodes in that manner. So, I am happy to walk away, especially with such a wonderful reaction and all that stuff. But honestly, Blake and I do have an idea," he said.

The season ended with the electric fence finally coming down as the Abbies scaled the walls and killed many Wayward Pines residents in its wake. A few escaped while Ethan gave up his life in order to stop the Abbies from devouring the survivors. The season-ender "Cycle" definitely gave the show an end but also left room for a possible second season.

Executive producer, Chad Hodge, also told Entertainment Weekly that there was a plan but there has been no official word from Fox. "There are some preliminary discussions, but nothing official yet. It really was always designed to be this one season, so should it have a further life, it's a whole new discussion. This ending and where it went was always intended to be the end," he said.

Whether "Wayward Pines" comes back to Fox or not, fans of the series have certainly enjoyed the ride that saw a secret service agent enter an eerie and seemingly idyllic town before discovering he was in 4028.

"Wayward Pines" is based on the trilogy of books written by Blake Crouch.
