Shyamalan TV show not coming to Philadelphia suburbs

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. - June 26, 2013

The Intelligencer of Doylestown reports the new Fox TV show, "Wayward Pines," will be heading to Vancouver, British Columbia, instead of Sellersville or Doylestown. Shyamalan and others putting together the show were looking for a bucolic small town to film the series, which is set in Wayward Pines, Idaho.

Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, says the Philadelphia area just didn't have the dense pine forests with cliffs overlooking the sea. She says there's only so much that could be faked.

Shyamalan has set many of his films in and around Bucks County, including the 2002 movie "Signs."
