Fox and M. Night Shyamalan have teamed up on what can best be described as a "Twin Peaks-esque" mystery thriller, Wayward Pines. Shyamalan is on board as executive producer as well as directing the first two episodes. He does not appear to be involved in the scripting, at least beyond his input as exec producer.
The cast is quite strong; Starring Academy Award Nominee's Matt Dillon, Juliette Lewis, and Terrence Howard, along with Academy Award Winner Melissa Leo, and rounded out by Toby Jones and Carla Cugino.
Synopsis:
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, ID, on a mission to find two missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan's investigation only turns up more questions. What's wrong with Wayward Pines? 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.
The 10 part event series will air sometime in 2015.
