The Netflix miniseries starring Eric Bana follows an investigation team in Yosemite National Park.
Afew years ago, it seemed like you couldn’t turn on the news without hearing about someone who went missing in one of America’s national parks. Plus, here’s this unsettling fact: The special agents of the NPS Investigative Services Branch currently attribute most of their ongoing cold cases to Yosemite National Park. Which is all to say, it makes sense that Netflix kicked around the idea of a murder-mystery procedural set around park rangers in the California national park.
Starring Eric Bana and coming from creator Mark L. Smith (American Primeval), Untamed follows special agent Kyle Turner, an investigator looking into the death of a Jane Doe who fell off the side of El Capitan. Turner is also five years into trying to solve the mystery of what happened to his own son, who was murdered at Yosemite by an unknown assailant. By the end of the six-episode miniseries on Netflix, audiences learn the answers to both murders and so much more. Turner uncovers a widespread drug operation at Yosemite, a murder-for-hire conspiracy, and a twist that affects every single character in the miniseries.
Though Turner ends the series by solving the cases and departing Yosemite, he leaves rookie agent Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago) both his horse and his station. Much like any Netflix series, there’s always room to continue at the streamer.
The ‘Untamed’ Finale Is So Complicated

The cast is already taking about the potential for season 2.
Will Untamed Return for Season 2?
Netflix has yet to officially renew Untamed for season 2, but that hasn’t stopped any of the cast or creators from talking about it like it’s an inevitability.
In an interview with Variety, Bana stated that he and creator Mark L. Smith “spoke about what would happen to Kyle after this, in theory.” Plus, Smith told Netflix’s Tudum that he’s already plotting where Turner’s head is at after leaving Yosemite. “Instead of Turner being in his element, he’ll be in a land where he doesn’t understand all the dangers and the risks, and he doesn’t understand the people around [him],” Smith said. “He’ll be a little bit on his back foot and a little bit unsure, and he’ll have to learn as well.”
Santiago was even more direct than her costar and the series creator during an interview with TV Insider. The actress behind Vasquez stated that “in a season 2, I want more solving of murders.”
Even more murders? “Honestly, I would love for her to get called up to go to a different place,” she continued. “Bring me to a mountain in Hawaii. I’m hoping that it’s new murder, new location, wilderness challenges, and new things to learn.”
If Turner and Vasquez do return for Untamed season 2, it sounds like they’ve got their work cut out for them.
