Considering how the show ended, many fans are eager to know whether Wayward Season 2 is in the works or not. While the series was created as a miniseries, there are signs that a second season might happen. During an interview, the show creator spoke about the possibility of exploring a story beyond what the viewers have currently seen.
Did Wayward get canceled or renewed for Season 2?
Netflix has neither renewed nor canceled Wayward Season 2. Given that it was a miniseries, the chances are low. However, the showmaker believes that there’s more to the story.
During an interview with TV Insider, Mae Martin, the show’s creator, shared a possibility for a second season. “I was told it was a miniseries, but there’s definitely more story to tell, I think,” Martin shared. “We left all those characters in crisis, basically. Hopefully it’s tied up enough that it’s satisfying to watch as a series.”
According to the same report, Toni Collette, who plays Evelyn Wade, also shared the prospect of exploring the story further. She said, “It’s endlessly intriguing. Endlessly. So many places it could go, for sure.”
Furthermore, Sydney Topliffe and Alyvia Alyn Lind, who play students Abbie and Leila, respectively, also expressed their intent to come back if Netflix decides to renew the show. “I would love to come back,” Topliffe expressed. “Mae, if you’re listening, we’re here. We’re ready,” Lind added. (via Yahoo)
On the other hand, during an interview with Variety, Martin had stated that, realistically, it would be difficult to return to the series. “I feel like the FBI would be in there pretty fast. There are so many dead people now,” Martin shared.
While Netflix has yet to make an official announcement about the fate of the show, fans are expecting to return to Tall Pine sometime in the future.
All episodes of Wayward are currently streaming on Netflix.
