Good news for fans of the wilderness drama Untamed: the show is officially returning for a second season on Netflix. The show’s star, Eric Bana, is set to reprise his role as ISB agent Kyle Turner, but with a major twist. The next installment will see him move to an entirely different national park, leaving the familiar trails of Yosemite behind.
The series creators explained that the new location is at the heart of the new season’s story. The conclusion of Season 1 left Turner emotionally and professionally exhausted, and he needed a change. The new park will serve as a fresh start, but also a formidable challenge. The creators said they are excited to explore a new environment, emphasizing that each national park has a distinct identity that will inform the new case.
The lead actor, Bana, shared his excitement in a statement, noting that he is “absolutely thrilled” to be working on a new season. He praised the cast and crew for the first season’s success and is looking forward to the next stage of his character’s journey. The new mystery, he added, will be an organic part of the new landscape, providing a different type of challenge for Turner than what he faced in Yosemite.
While the creators are still figuring out whether any of the original cast will return, they have not ruled it out. They said they loved the original cast and are trying to find ways to bring them back. For now, what is certain is that Turner will encounter a completely new set of characters in his new assignment. These new people will be central to the new case and will influence the direction of the plot.
