We're still thinking about that Wayward ending on Netflix — and just how much we want to see new episodes. And considering the show is still in Netflix's Top 10 list, we're not the only ones. Well, one star just opened up about how the cast is feeling about a potential Wayward season 2, and we're crossing our fingers we could be seeing new episodes soon.
Here's everything you need to know about whether Wayward season 2 is coming to Netflix.
Will there be a season 2 of Wayward?
Netflix hasn't announced a Wayward season 2 yet, but it sounds like the cast would love to continue the story.
"We were all aware [that it was a limited series] from the start, and we were all sad about it from the start. As the cast got closer and everybody had so much fun together, we got sadder and sadder as the season progressed,” actress Alyvia Alyn Lind told The Hollywood Reporter. “But you never know. Limited series get picked up [for more seasons] all the time now, so we’re just hoping that Netflix wants to push it further. We all want more for our characters, especially me. I want to see where Leila goes. I love her so much.”
Creator and star Mae Martin also told TV Insider that, “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."
What is Wayward season 2 about?
Netflix
If we did get to see new episodes of the series, Wayward season 2 would definitely need to tell us what happened after Abbie escaped Tall Pines, Alex stayed behind, and Rory surrendered to the town. And hopefully they'd tell us sooner rather than later.
