Carla Gugino to Join Matt Dillon & Melissa Leo in Fox's Event Series WAYWARD PINES

Carla Gugino is set to go into the WAYWARD PINES for Fox.

The actress joins Matt Dillon and Melisa Leo for the new event series, slated for a premiere in 2014. Based on the best-selling novel "Pines" by Blake Crouch and brought to life by suspenseful storyteller M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense," "Signs"), WAYWARD PINES is the intense new mind-bending event thriller evocative of the classic cult hit "Twin Peaks."

Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke (Academy Award nominee Matt Dillon, "Crash," "City of Ghosts") is tasked to head to the secluded town of Wayward Pines, ID, to find two missing federal agents, one being his former partner and romantic interest Kate Hewson (Gugino). Challenged at every turn by the town's die-hard residents, no communication with the outside world, and no way out, Ethan's investigation only turns up more questions, the most important of which is: What's wrong with Wayward Pines?

WAYWARD PINES is a production of FX Productions. The series is created and written by Chad Hodge ("The Playboy Club," "Runaway") and executive-produced by Shyamalan, Hodge, Donald De Line ("Green Lantern," "The Italian Job") and Ashwin Rajan ("After Earth").

Gugino has appeared in such television shows as POLITICAL ANIMALS, NEW GIRL, KAREN SISQO, and more. She has also starred in SPY KIDS, SIN CITY, and WATCHMEN. Gugino can currently be seen Off-Broadway in LCT3's production of Daniel Pearle's a A KID LIKE JAKE.
