The popular Netflix crime drama Untamed has been renewed for a second season, and the creators are already giving fans a glimpse into the new direction. The show, which stars Eric Bana as agent Kyle Turner, will move to a new national park, a deliberate choice to challenge the protagonist. This new setting will force Turner to navigate unfamiliar territory without the local expertise he had in Yosemite.
The showrunners, Mark and Elle Smith, explained that the new location is a core part of the new season’s narrative. After the emotionally and professionally taxing conclusion of Season 1, Turner needed a change of scenery. The new park will serve as a formidable challenge, as he will be operating without his usual knowledge of the terrain and its people. 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.
Bana himself expressed his deep satisfaction with the show’s renewal. He noted 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.
