Season 2 of ‘Untamed’ is Confirmed, Here’s What to Expect

Netflix has officially greenlit a second season for its popular wilderness crime series, Untamed. The show’s star, Eric Bana, is confirmed to return as agent Kyle Turner. But this time, his investigation will take him far from the trails he knew so well in Yosemite. The new season promises a new case in an entirely different national park, forcing Turner to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings.
Showrunners Mark and Elle Smith revealed that the decision to move the setting was a crucial part of the storytelling. Following the resolution of the intense Season 1 case, Turner needed a clean slate. The new location will be a character in itself, but one that actively works against Turner. Unlike Yosemite, where his local knowledge was an asset, the new park will make him a stranger in a strange land, creating a fresh set of narrative hurdles for him to overcome.
In a recent interview, Bana shared his excitement about the show’s return. He was thrilled by the audience’s response to the first season and credits the hard work of the cast and crew. The actor is eager to explore the next chapter in his character’s life, navigating a new landscape and a new crime. The new mystery, according to the creators, won’t be a repeat of the last one; it will be uniquely designed to reflect the new park’s distinct environment.
As for the returning cast, details remain scarce. While the creators expressed their love for the Season 1 cast, no definitive announcements have been made regarding their return. Viewers can, however, anticipate a fresh ensemble of supporting characters in the new setting. This new cast will be central to the mystery, and their interactions with Turner will be crucial to the season’s plot, ensuring a completely new dynamic.
