PanARMENIAN.Net - FOX has shared the first look at "Wayward Pines" season 2 in this video, AceShowbiz reports. Mixing new footage and interviews with the people behind the show, it introduces the new characters Dr. Theo Yedlin and CJ Mitchum played by Jason Patric and Djimon Hounsou respectively.

In season 2, the residents of Wayward Pines reawaken from long hibernation only to find the city having been taken over by Fascist Millenials of the First Generation, led by Jason Higgins (Tom Stevens) from season 1.

Dr. Theo Yedlin (Patric), a new resident of Wayward Pines, awakens from suspended animation and finds himself in the middle of this rebellion, as he tries to understand what Wayward Pines really is and help preserve the endangered human race.

"There's definitely a learning curve for Theo," EP M. Night Shyamalan said at WonderCon panel on Saturday, March 26. "Because there are [so] many people asleep, we thought you could always wake up anybody and what is their reaction to the weirdness that's happening?"

Hounsou will play CJ Mitchum, a philosophical town historian who will make a decision that impacts the fate of Wayward Pines and its denizens. The actor claims that his character knows all the ins and out of the city.

Carla Gugino returns as Kate Hewson "in a big way," says executive producer Donald de Line, while Shannyn Sossamon and Charlie Tahan reprise their roles as Theresa Burke and her son Ben. The second season is also promised to reveal more about the Abbys, such as what they're really capable of and what their agenda is.

Megan Fisher (Hope Davis) survives while Adam Hassler (Tim Griffin), "who had a very small part in season 1, is a very critical part in his terms of understanding of Wayward Pines" in season 2, so EP Blake Crouch explained.
