Will There be a Wayward Season 2?
The first season pulled strong reactions and landed in Netflix’s top shows. This helps its chances. But Netflix and the creators keep saying the series is stand-alone for now. Creator Mae Martin said there is more story to tell if given the chance. The cast agrees. Alyvia Alyn Lind, who plays Leila, said she would come back anytime. Toni Collette also seems open. But there is no script or start date yet.
What the Cast Says?
The main actors have made it clear they like the show and their roles. In interviews, they talk about wanting to return if Netflix makes another season. Alyvia Alyn Lind called it one of her best jobs. She hopes her character can get some peace if the show comes back. Mae Martin, who also plays Alex, thinks the story could continue but wants it to feel worth it. Right now there are no talks in progress according to official sources.
Wayward Season 1 Recap
Wayward is set in Tall Pines, Vermont. It centers on Alex, a police officer, and his wife Laura. They move to the town and get pulled into secrets around Tall Pines Academy, a school for troubled kids run by Evelyn. The story follows teens trying to survive the strict and dark rules of the academy.
Alex discovers the school's cult history. Laura becomes the new leader in the end. The finale leaves many characters’ fates up in the air. Leila stays. Abby escapes. Evelyn’s survival is unclear. The final scene sets the stage for more story, but leaves things open.
Wayward for now is one season only. Fans and cast both want season 2. The creators say there is material left to explore if Netflix changes its mind. Until then, it stays as one finished story.
