The psychological thriller series "Wayward Pines" is said to be returning to television this summer. While fans are still waiting for the exact date to be announced, it has been confirmed that Jason Patric will take part of the show.

May we warn the readers that this article might contain spoilers for the next season, so read at own risk.

The "Lost Boys" alum will portray the role of Dr. Theo Yedlin, a surgeon who wakes up after a "suspended animation," as per Deadline report.

The doctor will find himself in the middle of rebellion-the residents fighting against the First Generation's strong dictatorship. According to the site, his confidence and leadership skills will hold an important key to "help preserve the endangered human race."

As for Patric portraying the lead role, "Wayward Pines" director M. Night Shyamalan said that he fits the role. "Jason is an incredibly grounded and believable actor," he revealed. "I'm so excited for audiences to see what he brings to the world of Wayward Pines."

And since we mentioned above that Dr. Yedlin will be caught between the resident's rebellion and the First Generation government, Design and Trend added some interesting bits about the much-awaited television series.

The site revealed that the 10-episode Season 2 of the Fox series will show that the individuals were "actually living in 4028 and were the last humans on Earth." They also learned that humans had evolved into aberrations (or abbies) - creatures with a thirst to kill. The latest discovery was allegedly unveiled by the teenagers and children of the First Generation.
