M. Night Shyamalan Moves The Small Screen




Do you miss Twin Peaks?  Excited to hear that it may be coming back?  What if you don't want to wait that long?  Then the new FOX show Wayward Pines might just be the show for you.  Check out the trailer:


To quote Nathalie Caron from Blastr.com. it like the Eagles song, Hotel California, right? "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave."

The trailer for this new FOX series premiered at the end of the season finale of Empire, and as you can see from the what they've given us, his show has a lot of big-named actors starring in it.  They've got Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Toby Jones, Shannyn Sossammon, Reed Diamond, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, Hope Davis, and Julliette Lewis.  M. Night Shyamalan is producing the series, and it is being written by Chad Hodge.  Here's what FOX has released as the shows official synopsis:

"A Secret Service agent goes to Wayward Pines, Idaho, in search of two federal agents who have gone missing in the bucolic town.  He soon learns that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive."

So what do you think?  I'm kind of curious about the show, but am a little hesitant to put too much into it.  Why? it's not because of anything that they've released, but because it's airing on FOX.  I've invested too much into their shows only to have them yank them in the middle of their first season because they didn't feel like they were living up to their potential.  Examples?  Firefly!  More recently? Almost Human.

Wayward Pines will premier May 14, at 9/8 pm on FOX.
