Wayward Pines

Wayward Pines is a psychological thriller television series that premiered in 2015. It is based on the best-selling novel "Pines" by Blake Crouch and was brought to life by suspenseful storyteller M. Night Shyamalan. The show follows the story of Ethan Burke, a U.S. Secret Service agent played by Matt Dillon, who is investigating the disappearance of two fellow agents in the mysterious small town of Wayward Pines, Idaho. As Ethan delves deeper into the town's secrets, he discovers that the inhabitants are trapped there by an electrified fence and set of rules enforced by the strict Sheriff Arnold Pope (Terrence Howard). Any attempt to escape is punished by a public execution known as a "reckoning", when the Sheriff slits the condemned's throat. Ethan reconnects with his wife and son while working to discover the truth behind Wayward Pines and how to escape. The second season introduces Dr. Theo Yedlin (Jason Patric), a surgeon who becomes embroiled in a battle between Jason Higgins (Tom Stevens), leader of the First Generation, which took over Wayward Pines following an incident known as the Abbie incident that closed season 1, and Ben Burke (Charlie Tahan), Ethan's son who leads an underground rebellion against Jason's rule. The series features an all-star cast including Carla Gugino, Toby Jones, Shannyn Sossamon, Reed Diamond, Juliette Lewis, Tim Griffin, Melissa Leo, Nimrat Kaur, Josh Helman Kacey Rohl Hope Davis Djimon Hounsou Christopher Meyer Michael Garza .
