The summer drama will not return for Season 3.
March 1, 2018
It is being reported that Fox has cancelled Wayward Pines after two seasons. The move is not much of a surprise, as the mystery drama - which would typically air in the summer - hasn't aired in a new episode in 19 months.
From executive producer M. Night Shyamalan, the series was originally planned for just a single season. 10 episodes were produced based on a trilogy of novels by Blake Crouch, which told the story of a Secret Service Agent who ends up stuck in a small Idaho town that ends up being more than what it seems.
After the show's first season ended up ranking as 2015's #1 broadcast drama of the summer among adults 18-49, the network picked it up for another season with a completely original storyline that continued from the events of Season 1. Unfortunately, audiences did not take to the new plot and ratings took a hit during its sophomore run.
While Fox had previously expressed interest in exploring ideas for a possible third season, it appears in all likelihood that Wayward Pines will not return.

Well, that sucks. They waited 19 mos to give us no ending! Fox must be taking notes from ABC...

I didn't even know it was still on to be honest. I watched the first season and liked it up until the end. Didn't know there was a season 2. Apparently I didn't miss much....

I watched the first 2 seasons and was wondering what happened but TBH not enough to really care but it is annoying for those who really liked it

They could do a windup movie at least And of course they waited over a year to tell us this? The show was a good one and deserved better than this.

Series w/o a proper ending are a violation of humanity. TV can go to hell.

Enjoyed season but replacing the main character just didn't catch my interest at all.

I watched first year, and it had it’s good parts. Some of it was too ridiculous but all the star actors made it worthwhile. I did not like the suggestion about the future in the final seconds of the first season. I watched first episode of 2nd season because Carla Gugino was still listed. She didn’t make it to the end, thankfully for her. The kids were now in power and there was nothing left to like.
What’s interesting is that the creators including writer Blake Crouch have gone on to create Good Behavior, which is simply outstanding. It strange that Wayward Pines has somewhat of a clever idea as it’s foundation, but it never delivers and is fatally flawed. Good Behavior has a seemingly not so clever foundation and plot, but it delivers like nothing else. Somehow, I doubt novel writer Crouch is the genius, I think it’s his co-creator (not listed above) that figured out how to script for screen.

Honestly, it should have been cancelled after season 1. The ending was drastically different from the books. I can't even imagine what season 2 was about.
