The townsfolk are protected only by a set of mysterious talismans. The town has divided into two factions: the main township, led by Sheriff Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), and the Colony House, a commune led by Donna (Elizabeth Saunders).The second season aired April 23, 2023.In June 2023, the series was greenlighted for a third season set to premiere somewhere in 2024.

From / int_11e0d645	comment	Arc Symbol: The circle with several lines going through it that Jade keeps seeing in his visions, and which Tabitha finds in the tunnels under the town. In the Season 2 finale, Jade has a vision while exploring the tunnels of the pale children lying on stone tables and looking up at a hole in the ceiling which has several roots passing over it in the same pattern, suggesting that the symbol is a representation of what they're seeing.

Using his military experience to organize the survivors into pooling their resources, rounding up animals that could be used as livestock, and his discovery of the talismans that keep the monsters at bay, culminated in Boyd being named the de jure leader of the entire community as the town sheriff. However, The Chains of Commanding have clearly been taking its toll on Boyd's mental health, leaving him rather irritable when needing to interact with other people.

People arrive in it on the same road from all over the country, it's a Closed Circle that can't be exited once entered, all the buildings have power despite the lack of a power grid (or even actual wires in the power cables), and of course, there are the monsters that come out every night from tunnels under the town to kill everyone they come across. The forest surrounding the town as well. The monsters emerging from it every night already make it supernatural, but exploring it just brings up more mysteries — on his first extended exploration, Boyd discovered a ruined structure composed of stones that repel the creatures from buildings when hung from a doorway. Later, he and Sara find their tent moved by something overnight, ending up in a grove covered in giant spiderwebs, wherein Boyd sees what appears to be his dead wife suspended in a cocoon, before they later stumble across a giant lighthouse. And there's also the matter of the "Farway" trees, large hollow trunks that will teleport whoever enters them to a random location.

The Season 2 finale ends with the Boy in White shoving Tabitha out the window of the lighthouse, after which she wakes up in a hospital in the outside world.

From / int_caa28b82	comment	Cloudcuckoolander: Victor, a member of the Colony House, is a very strange man, spending all his time drawing creepy pictures and measuring the trees to see if they've moved. Of course, his behavior is rather justified by the fact that he's been in the town longer than anyone, ever since he was a small child, so the accumulated trauma has clearly affected his development.

When the latter questions why he's not freaking out about it, Jade replies that he's pretty much Seen It All in regards to his hallucinations at this point, so it's not that big a deal to him.

Kenny in particular is furious after he learns that Sara caused his father's death and that Boyd never told him.

Special mention goes to Laurie and Meagan's corpses, which have been viciously ripped open and gutted, and Sara's murder of Toby by first slamming a screwdriver through his throat, after which you can clearly see it in his mouth when he gags in agony, and then her further mutilation of his body to make it look like the creatures had done it.
