That\u2019s why it\u2019s a welcome surprise to see a show that was supposed to only be one season possibly expanded to a second season, and one star has addressed their potential return.<\/p>\n<p>The show in question <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/tv-shows\/review\/wayward-review-tv-show-netflix-toni-collette\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is the hit psychological thriller Wayward<\/a>, which earned Toni Collette rave reviews <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/tv-shows\/news\/is-netflixs-wayward-based-on-a-true-story\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as the head of an Academy for troubled teens<\/a>. In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/toni-collette-wayward-potential-season-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ScreenRant<\/a>, Collette was asked about creator Mae Martin\u2019s comments that there could be more story to tell, and if it happens, Collette is 100% on board. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHell yeah. We had the best time. Are you kidding? And I love Mae, and we\u2019ve talked about potential storylines, but I thought it had been buried, but maybe there is some hope. I don\u2019t know. I would totally do it,\u201d Collette said.<\/p>\n<p>Wayward Delivered Big Time Views (And Divisive Opinions)<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wayward-netflix.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1504292\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Wayward tells the story of Tall Pines, a town that is also home to an academy for troubled teens. As you might imagine, there\u2019s far more going on at this academy than anyone on the outside believes, and the series follows an investigation from outside the Academy and the attempts of two girls trying to uncover its secrets from within its walls.<\/p>\n<p>The series was a big draw for Netflix when it debuted in September, as it entered the <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/tv-shows\/news\/netflixs-new-mystery-show-is-officially-a-hit-with-almost-50-million-views\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Netflix Global Top 10 in shows with nearly 50 million views<\/a>. That said, there have been divisive opinions about the series, as a glance at its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/wayward\/s01\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rotten Tomatoes score<\/a> will attest.<\/p>\n<p>The show has a strong critics\u2019 score of 78%, but it also has an audience score of 46%. Fans highlighted the show\u2019s subject matter and strong individual performances, but also pointed to issues with the story development, lack of big moments, and an unsatisfying ending. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if a second season happens, but at least there\u2019s now hope it actually could become a reality.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
