"Wayward Pines" is set to return on the small screen in spring for its second season. In the recently released featurette, executive producer M. Night Shyamalan and author Blake Crouch revealed some tidbits as what avid viewers can expect from its storyline.

The 10-episode season 2, which premieres on May 25, will pick up after the events of the first season.

Before he found his way to the idyllic town, he was trying to patch up his rocky marriage with his architect wife Rebecca (Nimrat Kaur).

Meanwhile, the creative directors also revealed that fans of the series will get the chance to know more about the "abbies."

Fox President of Entertainment David Madden also revealed in a statement, "Season Two is going to take the suspense, the vision of the future, and the haunting character drama to whole new levels."
