Netflix has renewed “Untamed” for Season 2, Variety has learned exclusively.
Originally announced as a limited series, the drama set within Yosemite National Park premiered to strong ratings and critical acclaim when it launched on July 17, leading to its speedy renewal.
The series is officially described as a “character-driven mystery thriller that follows National Parks Service special agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness.” The cast for Season 1 also included Sam Neill, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lily Santiago, Wilson Bethel, Raoul Max Trujillo, William Smillie, Joe Holt, and Josh Randall.
“I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of ‘Untamed’ to life,” Bana said in a statement. “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. Massive thanks to Netflix, John Wells Productions, Warner Bros. Television and our fans.”
“Untamed” debuted at number one on the Netflix global Top 10 English language shows chart for the week of July 14-20. With just a few days of availability, the show racked up an impressive 24.6 million views, with a view defined as total hours viewed divided by total runtime. That was more than double its closest competition for the week, which was “Amy Bradley Is Missing” with 12.2 million views.
Critics likewise took to the series, with the first season holding an 80% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In her review for Variety, Aramide Tinubu wrote, “Using the beauty and splendor of the park as its backdrop, the six-episode series infuses numerous elements into the narrative, ranging from previous investigations to Indigenous practices and complex human relationships, making “Untamed” a wholly distinctive show.”
“Untamed” hails from showrunners Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith. Both serve as executive producers along with Bana, John Wells and Erin Jontow of John Wells Productions, Todd Black and Tony Shaw for Escape Artists Entertainment, Steve Lee Jones for Bee Holder Productions, and Cliff Roberts for Syndicate Entertainment. Warner Bros. Television is the studio.
