The Wayward has been keeping the audience on its toes with its few moments of fantasy, unresolved truths, and blurred reality. The show explores trauma, power, and the illusion of safety through the mysterious town of Tall Pines. As the show inches closer to the finale, let’s take a look at how it will end and whether there is room for a Season 2.
Why did ‘Alex Dempsey’ and ‘Laura’ come to Tall Pines?
According to Netflix, following an excessive force incident in Detroit, ‘Alex Dempsey’ and his very pregnant wife, ‘Laura’, relocate. However, ‘Laura’, once a student of the eerie Tall Pines Academy, has deeper ties than they realise, especially to the cult-like founder, ‘Evelyn’. She returns seeking comfort during pregnancy, but instead reawakens old traumas.
