Carla Gugino in Wayward Pines

Carla Gugino (Sydney St. James from Falcon Crest’s season 9) will star in the upcoming FOX series Wayward Pines by M. Night Shyamalan (see our news dated 2013-07-29).

Finally, a release date has been announced: The series will premiere on May 14, 2015.

Wayward Pines centers on a Secret Service agent named Ethan Burke (played by Matt Dillon) who’s searching for two missing agents in the titular town.

Gugino plays Kate Hewson, Ethan’s former partner and ex-girlfriend who now lives in Wayward Pines. She’s smart, capable, loyal, fiery, blunt and fearless. But their former love for each other simmers just below the surface.

The star-studded project (Juliette Lewis, Melissa Leo, Terence Howard and Reed Diamond are also part of the cast), based on the best-selling novel of the same name, is billed as a mind-bending new thriller set in a small town where nothing is what it seems.

There’s also a brand new trailer online.
