'Wayward Pines' Season 2 Rumors: An Mysterious Individual Will Find Himself In The Middle Of A Rebellion

The latest "Wayward Pines" season 2 rumors claims a new individual will be dealing with the rebellion that is about to happen.

Last season's finale saw Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) sacrificing his life to stop the Abbies' bombs from exploding. While he stopped the bombings, he also knocked his out his son, Ben. At the end of the episode, Ben was seen waking up in a hopital three years later and discovers that new citizens have arrived in the mysterious town. The final scene is similar to when his father wakes up in the series' pilot, which led to speculations that it's Ben's turn to protect the town and its residents just like his father did. 

Despite the rumors that the follow up will center on Ben, Variety reports that season 2 will focus on a new character who arrives in the Wayward Pines and "finds himself in the middle of a serious rebellion, as the residents battle over how to preserve the endangered human race."

There is currently no information on who this character is or how big of a role he or she will play in season 2.

"Wayward Pines'" renewal came as a suprise since the show was originally intended to an an "event series". However, due to the show's high ratings Fox decided to renew the psychological thriller for another season.

"'Wayward Pines' was a huge hit for us this past summer," said Fox Broadcasting Company president David Madden in an official statement

Season 1 featured Matt Dillon as Ethan Burke, Shannyn Sossamon as Theresa Burke, Juliette Lewis as Beverly, Carla Gugino as Kate Hewson, Melissa Leo as Pam, Toby Jones as Dr. Jenkins, Terrence Howard as Sheriff Arnold Pope and Charlie Tahan as Ben Burke.

"Wayward Pines" is based on the best selling novel series written by Blake Crouch. The show was first broadcast on Fox on May 14, 2015 and ended on July 23, 2015.
