As a Twin Peaks diehard, I of course was interested in the Netflix mystery thriller Wayward. Like David Lynch's seminal TV series, the show revolves around a small town with dark secrets, and the lives of the teens therein that have been forever changed by them. Whether or not the rest of the world's Netflix subscribers were as big of fans of the Double R Diner as I am, they tuned into Wayward in droves, making it one of the biggest hits the streamer has seen this month. Naturally, those viewers are now wondering whether the series will get a season 2. And fortunately, someone had the good sense to ask the show's creators. 

Specifically, it was the good folks at Variety who posed the question when they sat down with the show's showrunners, Ryan Scott and Mae Martin, the latter of whom also plays main character Alex Dempsey. 

"I’m so interested in people’s reactions to the ending," Martin said when asked if they'd like to do another season of the Toni Collette-starring show, "It seems like people have an appetite for more, but also it’s so funny that people are like, 'Well, it’s really ambiguous with Alex.' I’m like, 'I don’t know if it’s ambiguous — maybe he just didn’t make the choice that you wanted him to make.' Some of the characters make disappointing and very human choices. I think, hopefully, it works as a mini-series, but then it’s also obviously fun to imagine what would happen. But I feel like the FBI would be in there pretty fast. There are so many dead people now."

(Don't worry, reader, we're not going to spoil who those dead people are.)

"There’s a lot of dead people," agrees Scott, "There are a lot of things at the bottom of that pond to find. I’m so excited to see what people think, but I mean, there’s a part of this that’s a tragedy and it does feel a little unresolved in a sense, but mostly also resolved."

Unresolved but mostly also resolved? Not exactly the clearest answer as to the possibility of season 2, Ryan. But hey, speaking as a Twin Peaks fan, it's not like I view resolution as the end-all be-all of good TV. I mean, I'm still not entirely sure I know who killed Laura Palmer.

Wayward is streaming now on Netflix.
