Director, M. Night Shyamalan, surprised everyone with his adaptation of Blake Crouch's "The Wayward Pines Trilogy." The series turned out to be so popular that despite it being a one-shot event, fans have clamored for a second season almost as soon as the finale for the series ended. Luckily, the Indian-American director and his team were canny enough that the "Wayward Pines" finale could work either as a series finale or a jump-off point for a second season.

"Wayward Pines" ended with Ethan (Matt Dillon) sacrificing himself so that his son and the rest of the townspeople could be saved. His son, Ben Burke (Charlie Tahan), wakes up from a coma after three years and discovers that the town is now under the control of Jason and Class One and that basically nothing has changed.

Season one only ran for 10 episodes. But despite that, it was able to cover everything in the trilogy, which would make a second season challenging since there's no more source material. Plus, Shyamalan himself confirmed that there won't be another season since there was nothing else to tell. The sentiment was further reinforced by "Wayward Pines" executive producer, Chad Hodge.

However, it seems that fans might get their wish for more "Wayward Pines" as there have been reports that the 45-year-old Shyamalan might be open to directing another season. But this would depend largely on Crouch. The director has revealed that he and the author had been discussing the possibility of expanding on the story, adding that he needed to know how it would end first before he can work his way back to the start.

Shyamalan had previously assured fans that if a season two does materialize, it will be even better than the first one, revealing a pact he made with the author that they would approach it "with a very high level of integrity."

It would seem that now is the perfect time to develop "Wayward Pines 2" as the director is keen to work on his own projects and not on the rumored sequel to "The Last Airbender." Shyamalan mentioned in an interview that a movie like that usually takes two to three years and that he plans on doing another thriller first; and hopefully another riveting series of "Wayward Pines."
