Fox's upcoming event series Wayward Pines is adding to its all-star cast.
Political Animals and Watchmen alum Carla Gugino has booked a leading role in the limited series from Chad Hodge (The Playboy Club) and M. Night Shyamalan, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The 10-episode drama is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Blake Crouch and is described as a thriller in the vein of Twin Peaks. The project revolves around Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon), a Secret Service agent who arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, Id., on a mission to find two missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan's investigation only turns up more questions. Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the life he knew, from the husband and father he was, until he must face the terrifying reality that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
Gugino will play Kate Hewson, Ethan's ex-Secret Service partner and a resident of Wayward Pines. She's smart, capable, loyal, fiery, blunt and fearless and the love that Kate and Ethan once shared still simmers just below the surface.

Nice casting news!
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget to mention that Melissa Leo, who won an Oscar for her role in The Fighter, is co-starring alongside Dillon as well! I'm very much looking forward to seeing this, alongside 24.

ReplyDeleteCasting has been pretty good for this and even though it's M.Night I'm still quite interested in it
