Great news for fans of the wilderness thriller Untamed: Netflix has given the show a second season. The show’s lead, Eric Bana, is set to return as agent Kyle Turner, but viewers should not expect a return to Yosemite. Season 2 will follow Turner to a new national park, where he will have to solve a new case without the home-field advantage he had in the first season.
The series creators explained that the new setting is a deliberate choice to shake things up for the protagonist. After a taxing case that ended with Turner needing to get away from his home park, the new season will place him in a situation where he is the outsider. The creators said this is a way to put Turner on his “back foot,” making him vulnerable and forcing him to adapt. The landscape itself will continue to be a vital part of the story, with a new mystery designed to fit the unique environment.
The actor, Eric Bana, expressed his delight about the renewal. He credited the overwhelming audience response and the hard work of the production team for the show’s success. Bana is excited to explore the new challenges his character will face as he tackles a new mystery. The new case will be intricately tied to the new park’s landscape, promising an investigation that is both unique and unpredictable.
The creators confirmed that they are exploring the possibility of bringing back some of the first season’s cast, though nothing is finalized. While it’s unknown if characters like Naya Vasquez will reappear, what is certain is that Turner will encounter a brand-new set of characters in the new park. These individuals will either assist or hinder his new investigation, adding new layers to the ongoing narrative.
