Fox has given a second season order to M. Night Shyamalan‘s “Wayward Pines,” the network announced Wednesday.
The second season will pick up in the wake of Season 1, when a new arrival in the town Wayward Pines finds himself in the middle of a serious rebellion, as the residents battle over how to preserve the endangered human race.
The first season, starring Matt Dillon, grew 33 percent with its season finale in the main 18-49 demographic. Its 1.2 rating tied a prior high.
“‘Wayward Pines’ was a huge hit for us this past summer,” said Fox Broadcasting Entertainment President David Madden in a statement.
