The show was marketed as a limited series by Netflix. However, Martin is not ruling out the possibility of a return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI was told it was a miniseries, but there\u2019s definitely more story to tell, I think,\u201d they told TV Insider. \u201cWe left all those characters in crisis, basically. Hopefully it\u2019s tied up enough that it\u2019s satisfying to watch as a series.\u201d But, as Gadon pointed out, \u201cNothing\u2019s tied up in a neat little bow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Collette noted that the cast \u201ctalks about\u201d coming back, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s endlessly intriguing.

But I feel like the FBI would be in there pretty fast. There are so many dead people now.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">What would happen in\u00a0<em>Wayward<\/em> Season 2?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Should the show get picked up to return for more, Martin said told us they\u2019d like to \u201cdig deeper\u201d into supporting cast members, such as Stacey (Isolde Ardies), the Tall Pines student who was \u201cLeaped\u201d by Evelyn and believes in what the school is doing, Mule (Tricia Black), the Tall Pines employee who unknowingly plays into Abbie and Leila\u2019s escape plan, and Duck (Joshua Close), one of Evelyn\u2019s Tall Pines Academy employees who manages the boys\u2019 side of the school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Season 2 would also have to explore the aftermath of Evelyn\u2019s downfall, Alex and Leila\u2019s unexpected decisions, and Abbie\u2019s escape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Who would be in the\u00a0<em>Wayward<\/em> Season 2 cast?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Should the show return, it\u2019s likely that Martin, Gadon, Lind, and Topliffe would return so their stories could be explored further.

I think she\u2019s a vegetable and, yeah, I\u2019d be curious to see if she could ever come out of it, but she\u2019s definitely a vegetable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Plus, should Martin explore some of the secondary characters, Ardies, Black, and Close would be shoe-ins to return. Rabbit (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/tattiawna-jones\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tattiawna Jones;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tattiawna Jones<\/a>) would also be an interesting character to continue exploring, as she inadvertently caused Evelyn\u2019s downfall by injecting her with the drugs to help Alex escape (even though Alex was the one to add the more lethal injection afterwards).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One person who won\u2019t be able to return is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/brandon-jay-mclaren\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Brandon Jay McLaren;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Brandon Jay McLaren<\/a>, who played Dwyane in Season 1, as his character was killed by Alex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Do you think <em>Wayward<\/em> should come back for another season, or is the ending satisfying enough as is?
