Netflix Renews Eric Bana's Untamed for Second Season After Record Viewership

Netflix has renewed the mystery drama series Untamed for a second season following its successful debut, which quickly climbed to the top of the global English-language charts with over 24 million views. Eric Bana will reprise his role as Kyle Turner, an Investigative Services Branch agent of the National Parks Service, who will face new and tougher challenges in a different national park, moving beyond Yosemite where the first season was set. Co-creators Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith emphasized that each national park will serve as a key character in the story, influencing Turner’s emotional journey and the investigation. The new season promises to explore different cultural and geographical identities through fresh cases and a potentially new supporting cast, as Kyle adapts to unfamiliar terrain and its inhabitants. The first season was praised for its unique blend of natural beauty with darker themes such as trauma, loyalty, and violence, which the creators intend to deepen in the upcoming episodes. While the release date for season two has yet to be announced, the renewal reflects both fan enthusiasm and critical acclaim for the series.
