With Netflix’s latest mystery drama, Wayward, already sparking discussions about a potential Season 2, program creator Mae Martin has provided a positive update on the series’ future. In a recent interview, the Feel Good alum remarked that even though Netflix has been marketing Wayward as a limited series, there is ample room for the show to return for a sequel installment.
Mae Martin teases Wayward Season 2, says ‘there’s definitely more story to tell’
While speaking to TV Insider, Martin revealed that they already have plans for a potential Wayward Season 2, provided that Netflix chooses to renew the project for a follow-up installment.
“I was told it was a miniseries, but there’s definitely more story to tell, I think. We left all those characters in crisis, basically. Hopefully, it’s tied up enough that it’s satisfying to watch as a series,” Martin explained.
During the discussion, Toni Collette, who portrays Evelyn Wade, the conniving head teacher at Tall Pines Academy, noted that the Wayward cast constantly “talks about” coming back for Season 2. “It’s endlessly intriguing. Endlessly. So many places it could go, for sure,” the Hereditary star added.
Sydney Topliffe and Alyvia Alyn Lind, who play Tall Pines students Abbie and Leila, respectively, also expressed their enthusiasm for returning for a possible second season. “I would love to come back,” Topliffe stated. Meanwhile, Lind requested Martin to come up with a sequel, noting, “Mae, if you’re listening, we’re here. We’re ready.”
Talking about the themes they’d like to explore if Wayward Season 2 does happen, Martin said that they’d like to “dig deeper” into supporting cast members. The follow-up installment would essentially deal with the aftermath of Evelyn’s downfall, Abbie’s escape, as well as Alex and Leila’s decisions. The characters that would receive more attention in this setting, as per Martin, would be Isolde Ardies’ Stacey, Tricia Black’s Mule, and Joshua Close’s Duck. Wayward Season 2 would also include Collette’s Evelyn, who Martin confirmed is “still in there,” despite the events of Season 1.
While Netflix has yet to share an official word on a possible second season, interested viewers can catch all eight episodes of Season 1 on the streaming platform.
