There’s no shortage of fictionalized cult dramas on television today, and Netflix’s latest thriller series Wayward takes us to the sinister town of Tall Pines, Vermont, which is beholden to a mysterious leader played by Toni Collette. Created and written by comedian Mae Martin, the Netflix original centers on their character Alex, who arrives in Tall Pines and begins to unravel its secrets. This is the second series created by Martin (after the 2021 autobiographical dramedy Feel Good), and Wayward is a significant departure in tone and setting for the comedian.
Martin was raised in Toronto, Canada and Wayward not only begins in their home country, but the cast is filled with actors who have roots there. Read on to learn more about the cast of Wayward and the characters who will be inhabiting Tall Pines in the eight-episode miniseries.
