As shared by Deadline:
“Untamed will be back for another season. Netflix revealed Tuesday it has renewed the series, starring Eric Bana, for a second season.”
Bana stars in the series as a National Parks Service special agent who attempts to solve a mystery. Now that things were wrapped up in the first season, it looks like he’ll be finding a new mystery in this upcoming season. He shared the following statement:
“I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of Untamed to life,” Bana said. “The response to Season 1 has been a testament to the incredible effort by our crew to deliver something truly unique. I can’t wait to take Kyle on his next journey.”
Co-writer Mark L. Smith, who wrote the series with Elle Smith, added a statement regarding their decision to extend the series with an additional season:
“Elle and I envisioned it as a stand-alone, six episodes,” Smith shared. “But then the more that we got into it, it was just such a great cast … it was just like, ‘Oh yeah, how do we keep this going?’”
As such, fans will have to see what the future holds for Untamed. For now, it’s exciting to see this Netflix series originally planned for one season officially get a second season. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates as we have them.
