Wayward Season 1 Episode 9 Release Date and Time: Is It Coming?
Wayward left viewers hanging after Season 1 Episode 8, and now everyone wants to know if Episode 9 is coming — and when. With unanswered questions piling up, fans are asking whether Netflix has a Part 2 on the way and if there’s a release date and time to circle.
If you binge-watched Wayward and went hunting for a Season 1 Episode 9, you are not alone. Episode 8 leaves a few threads dangling, which always sets off the 'is Netflix doing a Part 2?' alarm. So here is the deal, straight up.
The short version
- There is no Wayward Season 1 Episode 9. Season 1 ends at Episode 8.
- All eight episodes dropped at once on Netflix on September 25, 2025.
- Netflix and the creatives have not announced a Season 2.
- The show is a thriller mini-series set in Tall Pines, Vermont, centered on a school for troubled teens run by Evelyn Wade and a cop named Alex Dempsey, who moves to town with his pregnant wife, Laura, and starts investigating odd goings-on at the institution.
- You can watch the entire season on Netflix.
Why people thought Episode 9 was coming
Wayward ends its eighth episode with some unanswered questions, which naturally makes folks think a ninth could pop up a week later or that Netflix split the season into two parts. It did not. This is a classic Netflix all-at-once drop: eight episodes, one day, done.
What kind of show is this again?
It is a Vermont-set thriller about a very not-normal school in the woods and the people circling it. Evelyn Wade runs the place, 'troubled teens' is the pitch, and Officer Alex Dempsey rolls into Tall Pines with his wife Laura right as things start feeling off. If that setup pings your 'this might get weird' radar, you are on the right wavelength.
"A small-town cop suspects that the local school for troubled teens — and its dangerously charismatic founder — may not be all it seems."
Where to watch
Wayward Season 1 is streaming on Netflix. A subscription gets you the whole season, available across phones, tablets, TVs—the usual.
So... is there a Season 2 coming?
As of now, no. Netflix and the team behind the series have not announced a second season. The show was positioned as a mini-series, and the release pattern backs that up. If that changes, I will update, but for now, consider Episode 8 the end of the line.
