‘Wayward Pines’ Season 3 Premiere Date, News & Update: Fox Series On Abbies, Humans Trilogy Cancelled?

"Wayward Pines" Season 3 from Fox and creator Blake Crouch may now be on the back burner. While the "Wayward Pines" Season 2 finale promised dire happenings for humans against Abbies (Aberrations), executive producer M. Night Shyamalan now has new priorities.

The "Wayward Pines" Season 2 finale left humans unfairly disadvantaged by the Abbies. According to "Wayward Pines" trilogy author Blake Crouch, this was intentionally designed with S3 in mind.

Parent Herald cites E! News in quoting Blake Crouch that "Wayward Pines" Season 3 will be a study of the final hours of the human race against Abbie ascendancy. Were Fox to have returned "Wayward Pines" with a Season 3, fans of the Blake Crouch creation would have seen a transition into an Abbie dominated world.

In "Wayward Pines" Season 1, Abbies had seemed primal carnivores that were inferior to humans in intellect. However "Wayward Pines" Season 2 revealed a twist.

In the "Wayward Pines" Season 2 revelation, Abbies led by their Queen,Margaret (Rochelle Okoye), proved more than meets the eye. Not only were the "Wayward Pines" villains superior in strength and speed. Abbies also challenged human intellect.

At the end of "Wayward Pines" Season 2, the humans had to admit defeat and sought to save the race by returning to cryo-stasis. "Wayward Pines" wise man, CJ Mitchum (Djimon Hounsou), understood that humans were really defeated by their own tendencies rather than Abbie superiority.

In a cliffhanger of a moment, CJ Mitchum almost ended all hopes for "Wayward Pines" Season 3 when he thought to terminate the humans going into cryo-stasis. However, CJ Mitchum would not have been the reason for a "Wayward Pines" Season 3 cancellation.

Instead, "Wayward Pines" Season 3 may be put on hold with series visionary M. Night Shyamalan going into animated series "Eleven Little Indians" for Fox. Variety reports that the "Wayward Pines" executive producer has partnered with "Family Guy" writer Alex Carter for the new Fox series "Eleven Little Indians."

M. Night Shyamalan had been the visionary, who saw the potential that the "Wayward Pines" novels by Blake Crouch had for TV. M. Night Shyamalan also had the foresight to sign on Matt and Ross Duffer before their "Stranger Things" fame to write and produce "Wayward Pines" for Fox.

Although "Wayward Pines" Season 1 covered the full content of Blake Crouch's trilogy, M. Night Shyamalan designed the Fox series to be extended to S3. "Wayward Pines" Season 2 suffered in viewer ratings as a result, but the remaining Fox series fans continue to be excited for S3.

Hopefully, both Season 2 ratings and "Eleven Little Indians" won't cause a "Wayward Pines" Season 3 cancellation. Do you think "Wayward Pines" Season 3 will be a worthy watch or do you feel the Fox series should have stopped at S1?
