— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015"This form of being able to do an anthology of 'We'll give it all for this,'" Shymalan says is why he wanted to do this #WaywardPines #TCA15
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015So Shymalan says if the opportunity to do season 2 of #WaywardPines presents and he thinks there is organic story he would do it. #TCA15
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015#WaywardPines has a real definitive place to go, puzzle pieces fit. They'd have to make sure that could replicate. #TCA15
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015#WaywardPines is a 10 episode series that could be renewed for more. Based on the books by Blake Crouch.
— Tim Goodman (@BastardMachine) January 17, 2015"The reveal is a beautiful idea. It's a very deep, but beautiful idea." - @MNightShyamalan #waywardpines #FOXTCA #TCA15

— Diane Gordon (@thesurfreport) January 17, 2015"It is a perfect, perfect reveal." - @chad_hodge #waywardpines
#FOXTCA #TCA15

— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015"All the layers of the people in #WaywardPines" was joy of writing show for Hodge. People in town act one way, are different under #TCA15
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015MNight: we needed the landscape - that was a dominant visual for #WaywardPines. I mimicked Philadelphia buildings in Canada. #TCA15
— Diane Gordon (@thesurfreport) January 17, 2015"I want to shoot everything in Philly, that's my usual," Shyamalan. But Canada had the landscape so they mimicked towns. #WaywardPines
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015Shyamalan says he had no idea summer was hard time to launch a show. "I'm going to be calling some people..." #WaywardPines #TCA15

— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015Shyamalan had to make a decision about who in cast to tell "everything." They don't need to know until their characters know. #WaywardPines
— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015Every actor had a different process (some didn't want to know), Shyamalan just gave up and told everybody everything. #WaywardPines #TCA15

— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015Cast and EPs being very careful so as not to reveal much about #WaywardPines - that's the end of the #TCA15 panel. Next: #AmericanIdol
