Wayward Pines refills its cast with an infusion of Djimon Hounsou
Having burnt through large swathes of its original cast—including star Matt Dillon—with the first-season’s status quo-shattering finale, Fox’s Wayward Pines has started refilling the old character tank for the slightly unexpected season two. Jason Patric has already been cast as new hero Theo Yedlin, newly awoken from suspended animation to deal with all these pines, and their attendant waywardness. Now, Deadline is reporting that Blood Diamond and Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Djimon Hounsou is joining the cast, too, as a historian with a connection to the town’s mysterious past.
