The Shyamalan-directed premiere almost doubled its demo delivery in Live+3, posting a record percentage DVR lift for a Fox opener and a 2014-15 new series debut on any network — 90% — to rise to a 1.9 rating. The premiere added two more tenths in L+7 to get to a 2.1.
The somewhat surprisingly solid and consistent ratings performance by Wayward Pines has not gone unnoticed. I hear there is interest in another season of the mystery series. Because of the long time frame between the project’s pickup/production and its airdate, the options on all actors lapsed long ago. (Wayward Pines’ cast also includes Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino and Melissa Leo.) I hear the idea is to explore a potential second installment with different characters and cast but in the same world, which would not be a straight anthology format. I hear talks are preliminary, and Fox brass are expected to meet with the Wayward Pines creative team soon to discuss the possibilities.

If Fox doesn’t renew this for a 2nd season than the Syfy channel really needs to seriously consider picking up this show for a 2nd season!! This show would be absolute gold on the Syfy channel if they pick it up!!

You have got to be kidding. Just when the story was getting really good it gets the ax. There so much other junk on, things I wouldn’t let my dog watch & you take off the good stuff .
SHAME on you Fox
