‘Wayward Pines’ continues to show stellar DVR growth

At the moment, we’re not sure that there is any other summer show making as interesting a case for itself as Fox’s “Wayward Pines.” We had low expectations after seeing the premiere numbers, but not only has this show done the rare thing of keeping the majority of its viewers from week to week (not entirely common in this industry), but they also have another tremendous achievement in continuing to draw enormous DVR ratings.

According to the latest live+7 data from TVbythenumbers, the June 4 installment of the series improved from a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic all the way up to a 2.4. This is an increase of more than 110%, and there are not any other broadcast shows right now displaying that kind of growth. Consistently, it’s hard to even find one during the season proper.

So what does this mean for the long-term future of the show? While we know that it would be better if more of these viewers were actually watching live, having fans via DVR is certainly better than not having fans at all. Sometimes, you do just have to take what you can get, and these are certainly great numbers since at least some of them will see advertisements.

We’ll we know that season 1 of “Wayward Pines” is fairly close-ended, we do think that these numbers do make a second season at least somewhat more likely. With that said, we hope that all parties involved sit down and consider the future before making a quick jump on whether or not a second season will happen. We’ve love for it to, but make sure that this is not going to be yet another genre show that falls off a cliff creatively.
