The hit Netflix series Untamed is coming back for a second season, the streaming service has announced. Lead actor Eric Bana will be reprising his role as agent Kyle Turner, but in a completely new setting. The next chapter will see Turner investigating a new mystery in a different national park, leaving his home base of Yosemite behind for good.
The showrunners have emphasized that the move to a new location is central to the new season’s plot. The conclusion of Season 1 left Turner in need of a fresh start, and the new park will provide just that, while also presenting new challenges. The creators explained that unlike Yosemite, where he was a local expert, the new park will make him an outsider, forcing him to be “very uncomfortable” and to rely on new skills.
The star, Eric Bana, expressed his excitement about the renewal, stating he is “thrilled” to continue his character’s story. He noted that the success of the first season was a result of the hard work of everyone involved. Bana is eager to see what new challenges await Turner as he tackles a mystery that is intrinsically tied to the new park’s distinct cultural and geographical identity.
While the return of original cast members is still unconfirmed, the creators are exploring their options. They stated that they loved working with the first season’s actors and would like to find a way to bring them back. In the meantime, viewers can expect an all-new cast of supporting characters to be introduced in the new setting, all of whom will be crucial to the new investigation.
