On July 23 the TV show “Wayward Pines” ended.

The series is an adaptation of a trilogy of novels written by Blake Crouch. Conceived as a mini-series of 10 episodes, although it leaves the door open to a continuation, it was developed by Chad Hodge, who involved in the production the director M. Night Shyamalan.

The TV show “Wayward Pines” was purchased by Fox, which decided to promote it as a special event worldwide. The pilot episode was made available online in April 2015 and the normal TV programming began on May 14, 2015 with the broadcast in about 125 countries on the same day.

“Wayward Pines” takes inspiration from previous TV shows such as the classics “The Prisoner” and “Twin Peaks” but it develops some elements in a different science fiction key. The series begins when the US secret service agent Ethan Burke is sent to the town of Wayward Pines to look for two missing colleagues and find himself in a place that immediately seems very out of the ordinary.
