Netflix has officially greenlit a second season of its hit wilderness crime drama, Untamed. The show’s star, Eric Bana, is confirmed to return as agent Kyle Turner. But the new season will take the show in a different direction, as Turner begins a new assignment in a national park that is completely unfamiliar to him, a deliberate move by the creators to challenge the protagonist.
The showrunners revealed that the new location is a core element of the new season’s plot. The emotionally and physically draining conclusion of Season 1 left Turner needing a change of scenery. This new park will be a place where he has no pre-existing knowledge or connections, forcing him to rely on new methods and instincts. They explained that each national park has its own distinct identity, and they are excited to explore a new one through Turner’s investigation.
Bana himself expressed immense excitement about the show’s continuation. He told a Netflix publication that the audience’s positive reaction to the first season made the renewal all the more rewarding. The star is eager to see what challenges the new season holds for his character. The creators assured that the new mystery will be perfectly suited to the new environment, ensuring the plot feels fresh and not a mere repetition of the first season.
As for the returning cast, no official announcements have been made. The creators mentioned they would love to bring back some of the original actors, but logistical details are still being worked out. Viewers can, however, expect a new cast of supporting characters to be introduced in the new setting. These new faces will be integral to the unfolding story, providing both new allies and new antagonists for Turner to deal with.
