Fox sets global premiere date for M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Fox has set a premiere date for the M. Night Shyamalan-produced “Wayward Pines”, a 10-part miniseries created by Chad Hodge and based on the novel “Pines” by Blake Crouch. 

THR is sharing that “Wayward Pines” is set to bow Thursday, May 14, on Fox and Fox channels in 125 countries. The 10-episode run is slated to air at 9 p.m. on Thursdays.

I’m actually looking forward to peeping “Wayward Pines” as I’m getting a very “Twin Peak”-ish vibe from it (and I loves me some “Twin Peaks”!). Plus it has an amazing cast which includes Matt Dillon, Melissa Leo, Terrence Howard, Carla Gugino, Shannyn Sossamon, Toby Jones, Reed Diamond and Juliette Lewis.

Here’s what it’s about:

Ethan Burke (Dillon), a Secret Service agent who arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, Id., is on a mission to find two missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan’s investigation only turns up more questions. Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the life he knew, from the husband and father he was, until he must face the terrifying reality that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

“Wayward Pines” is a production of FX Productions. The series is created by Chad Hodge (“The Playboy Club,” “Runaway”) and executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Hodge, Donald De Line (Green Lantern, The Italian Job), and Ashwin Rajan (After Earth). Hodge wrote and Shyamalan directed the premiere episode.
