Major Spoiler Alert: Fox’s new miniseries, Wayward Pines is creeping out and winning over fans after only 2 episodes. The show stars Matt Dillon, Empire’s Terence Howard, and Secrets and Lies star Juliette Lewis, or at least it did. Lewis’s character Beverly Brown, made it out of Wayward Pines in a manor of speaking, at the end of last week’s episode. Now, executive producer Chad Hodge is opening up about Beverly’s death and why it was necessary to kill her off so soon.
Recently, Wayward Pines executive producer Chad Hodge penned a column in Entertainment Weekly, about why Beverly was killed in the final moments of the second season finale:
“Think about it. How many of us would love to start over and forget the past? To be given permission not to have some huge ‘important’ life in the big, bad world? How many of us would love to live a simple life in a small beautiful town? ‘You could be happy here, Ethan,’ says Kate (Carla Gugino). Does she mean it? Hard to tell at this point. Did I almost convince you? Scary, right? But this is why we needed to kill Beverly Brown (Juliette Lewis).”
Hodge went on to further explain the need for the revelation:
“You, just like the residents of Wayward Pines, needed to see and know the deep, dark underbelly of this perfect little town. Because now you’re on the same page with the residents, most of whom know nothing more than you do right here at the end of episode 2. I didn’t want you to watch these people acting weirdly perfect episode after episode after episode. I wanted you to know why.”
