How would you like the chance to escape into an engaging crime thriller series that features the added bonus of breathtaking cinematography guaranteed to transport you to an idyllic and scenic landscape? Are you sold yet? If not, allow me to sweeten the deal even more. The series in question also features an all-star cast and a twisty narrative with which fans and critics alike are connecting.

Better yet, the series sits as the most-watched program on the Netflix platform today! Millions of subscribers cannot possibly be wrong, can they? I mean, I guess it’s technically possible, but that’s highly unlikely.

The program that I so mysteriously speak of is the limited series Untamed. The setup for the program is this: In the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park, a woman’s death draws a federal agent into lawless terrain, where nature obeys no rules but its own.

Less than two weeks after making its splashy debut on Netflix, Untamed scored a quick renewal for season 2, which even more impressive considering the streamer had originally designated the show as a limited series. The mystery thriller debuted to 24.6 million views and grew to 26.1 million views for its first full week, making a second season a no-brainer decision for Netflix.

From creators Mark L. Smith, who also created Netflix's hit limited series American Primeval, and his daughter Elle Smith, Untamed stars Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Parks Service. In season 1, Turner investigates the suspicious death of a woman in Yosemite National Park as it unexpectedly connects to the history of the park and the people who live there.

After watching how the first season ends, with the case solved and the storylines wrapped up, most viewers are probably wondering what's coming up next in Untamed season 2. Well,...

Netflix has given the green light to Untamed Season 2 following the first season’s formidable debut in the Netflix Top 10. The mystery thriller series comes from a writer of The Revenant and American Primeval.

Untamed follows Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. In the first season, an investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within Yosemite National Park and in his own past.

“I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of Untamed to life,” said Eric Bana. “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 simply can't be tamed! The mystery thriller series debuted on July 17 on Netflix and took off like wildfire, reaching the top 10 in multiple countries and staying put at No. 1 on the most popular shows ranking in the United States for over a week. The show's debut ratings, which reached an impressive mark of 24.6 million views, we clearly enough to warrant a quick renewal.

On July 29, less than two weeks since the series premiered, Netflix revealed that Untamed season 2 was officially renewed! The series, which was originally designated as a limited series, attracted enough of an audience (and then some) for Netflix to renew the series from American Primeval creator Mark L. Smith and his daughter Elle Smith. Another national park mystery is on the way!

Netflix has just revealed the future of one of its most recent releases. Untamed premiered on the platform on Jul. 17, and has been a major hit ever since.

Not even two weeks since its debut, Netflix decided to bet on the series and has officially renewed Untamed for Season 2, as per an announcement on X. Considering how popular the murder mystery drama has been since its release, the decision is not as surprising. However, the show had been created as a limited series, and it had already wrapped all the loose ends in its six episodes.

Untamed will back for another season. Netflix revealed Tuesday it has renewed the series, starring Eric Bana, for a second season.

Written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, Untamed is a character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner (Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.

Sam Neill and Rosemarie DeWitt also starred in Season 1.

In Season 2, Bana returns to investigate a new mystery. At the end of Season 1, Turner finally left Yosemite National Park and hit the road, letting go of years of emotional baggage he had stored in the park’s wilderness.

“I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of Untamed to life,” Bana said in a statement.

Despite initially being made and marketed as a limited series, Netflix has now renewed its new crime thriller show for a second season. While it was thought that the new series would be a one-and-done job, the huge success of the first season has clearly resulted in the streamer wanting more. And more it will get.

Released on the streamer earlier this month, Untamed introduces audiences to Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (Isb) who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. Suddenly, the investigation of a brutal death sends him down a path that will force him to face the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past. While the intention was for the series to last just the six episodes that are now available, the show has been at the top of the...

Netflix’s “Untamed” has been renewed for Season 2, shifting what was planned as a limited series into an ongoing show as Eric Bana’s National Parks Service investigator heads to a new park after solving a mystery in Yosemite. Indeed, Bana will return to reprise his role as Kyle Turner, Investigative Services Branch agent of the National Parks Service.

“Elle and I envisioned it as a stand-alone, six episodes,” Mark L. Smith told Tudum of plans for the first season with co-creator Elle Smith. “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?’”

Smith said Season 2 will pick up after Bana’s character has already been working at different parks, so the location for Season 2 won’t be the exact next destination after Yosemite. It’ll also be very different.

“We’ve done Yosemite.

More of the National Park Service’s dark secrets will soon be coming to light: Netflix has renewed its Yosemite-set murder mystery Untamed for Season 2, TVLine has learned.

The drama that was initially announced as a limited series dropped its full first season on July 17. 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.”

Netflix's new limited series Untamed starring Eric Bana continues to be one of the most surprising new releases on the platform. After the mystery thriller limited series premiered on July 17, the show shot straight to the No. 1 position on the daily top 10 most popular shows on Netflix, where it's remained a week later. But the show's debut ratings are even more cause for celebration.

On July 21, Netflix revealed that in its first four days of release, Untamed debuted with 24.6 million views, which translates to 119.5 million hours viewed. The series hit the peak of the weekly top 10 most-watched English-language shows on Netflix. Last week, the No. 1 show on the chart was The Sandman with 5.9 million views. That's a huge change!

Netflix audiences were enthralled by the mysterious death of a woman in Yosemite National Park in Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith’s Untamed last week.

The series debuted on July 17 and quickly racked up 24.6M views, putting it at No. 1 on the English-language TV list. That’s quite a strong start — and a rejuvenation of that chart, which was looking a little lackluster last week. This also marks the second No. 1 debut for Mark L. Smith this year, after American Primeval hit the top spot in January.

Once again, true crime was also top of mind for Netflix viewers. Amy Bradley Is Missing took second place, amassing 12.2M views from July 14 to 20.

The Sandman Season 2 also picked up another 3.3M views, good enough for third place. As Deadline previously reported, the series took a bit of a viewership hit from the first season, which finished its second week of availability with around 11.5M views.

Untamedstar Eric Bana plays it cool when pressed about the series' potential second season.

Speaking withVariety, Bana responded to whether there would be a second season of Untamed with, "We'll have to wait and see." When asked if discussions about a second season have come up behind the scenes, Bana replied, "We spoke about what would happen to Kyle after this, in theory. So you never know."

Created by writers and showrunners Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, Untamed stars Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent with the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch working out of Yosemite National Park while grieving the death of his young son, Caleb. When the body of an unidentified Jane Doe is found having fallen from a cliffside, Turner is partnered with Lily Santiago's Naya Vasquez, a rookie National Park Service ranger. Over the course of the series, Turner and Vasquez uncover...

A big turning point on Untamed for Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) and the newest park ranger, Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), is when he saves her when she’s trapped in a mine during their investigation into the death of Jane Doe. “That’s when we first see that he realized he really cares about her as a character and that also that they become real true partners at that moment,” coshowrunner Elle Smith tells TV Insider. Filming those scenes was “an exciting challenge,” shares Santiago. “Mark [L. Smith, co-showrunner] couldn’t even be there that day. He was like, ‘This is too claustrophobic.’ It was a very long, exhausting day, but I was so lucky to have such incredible support from the crew, the director, the showrunners, Eric. I felt very supported. And I was really scared because they built this incredible, huge mine. They built the whole thing for...

Ozark is one of Netflix's most successful TV shows, and the crime drama received praise for its moral ambiguity, bleak atmosphere, and adrenaline-inducing decisions that led to terrifying results. Since its conclusion, the streamer has constantly tried to offer some replacements, and the latest one is Untamed.

The new release is a murder mystery drama starring Jurassic World's Sam Neill and Troy's Eric Bana and is set in the Yosemite National Park. Untamed, which is a six-part limited series, follows Agent Kyle Turner (Bana) as he investigates a brutal death in the park. The series debuted with positive reactions and has instantly become a hit on streaming. After its release on Jul. 17, Untamed didn't waste any time and headed straight to the top of the charts, according to FlixPatrol.

On Jul. 18, Untamed was the No. 1 title in 77 countries where Netflix is streaming. It automatically became the biggest TV show in the U.

Created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, “Untamed” (TV Mini Series 2025) diligently checks off the noir-ish modern detective mystery tropes. Barring an electrifying opening scene, it does not stand apart as a police procedural. What the Netflix mini-series does excel at, and thus significantly elevates its status, is exalting its unique setting—a murder mystery at Yosemite National Park. Boosted by a solid cast, which is led by an earnestly committed Eric Bana, the show astutely takes the chance to shine in Yosemite National Park’s reflected glory. With its mountains, greenery, and fauna, the National Park’s towering presence becomes a pivotal character in the story, not just a backdrop. And it works wonders for the mini-series. So much so, we would not mind a second instalment.

Eric Bana is venturing into the wilderness of an American national park in the recently-launched limited series Untamed. As Kyle Turner, an Investigative Services Branch agent of the National Parks Service, Bana is on the hunt for a killer, one who knows Yosemite National Park as well as he does; however, the dark secrets lurking in both Kyle and the park’s past may be just as dangerous as the murderer.

Created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), the character-driven mystery thriller follows a murder on the grounds of Yosemite. “Everyone thinks of Yosemite as this beautiful place with all the vistas and all the scenery, but we were trying to touch on the dangers that are just beyond that,” co-showrunner Mark L.

Netflix may have just found its next big binge-watching win, with the streamer’s new crime thriller series, which follows a special agent for the National Parks Service’s investigation after a body is found within the vast wilderness, has now been met with rave reviews from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes resulting in a score that’s sure to have you rushing to find the remote.

Untamed stars Hulk and The Dry actor Eric Bana in the lead as the National Parks Service special agent, Kyle Turner, who works to enforce human law in the merciless wilderness of Yosemite. “Suddenly, the investigation of a brutal death sends him down a path that will force him to face the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past,” the official synopsis teases.

Early in their investigation into the death of an unidentified woman, Isb officer Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) and park ranger Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago) discover a few clues in an eerie abandoned shed. There’s a bloody rope laying on the floor, a footprint on the door, and fresh carvings in the rickety wooden walls. Kyle bags the evidence, photographs the etchings, and the two exchange theories about what may have happened here. Then, as Naya heads back outside, a bear slams into the door. Naya falls down as the bear bangs on the thin wood separating it from its prey, roaring in sudden, vicious fury. She scrambles for her sidearm, but Kyle already has gun out. He fires two shots into the air, and the bear runs off.

Not long after that random disturbance, Kyle reminds his rookie colleague that her new gig isn’t like any work she did in the big city.

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan has become a franchise all his own, with every streamer now looking to replicate the same success as Paramount. Well, Netflix may have gotten one step closer to doing just that, with the popular streamer's new crime thriller series, which has been likened to the gritty, sweeping drama of Yellowstone, as well as the same neo-western sensibilities demonstrated in the filmmaker’s underrated Wind River, which has now debuted with a killer Rotten Tomatoes score following the first reviews.

The series is titled Untamed and finds Hulk and The Dry star Eric Bana taking the lead in this character-driven mystery-thriller, which follows a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. Suddenly, the investigation of a brutal death sends him down a path that will force him to face the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.

If you think you’ve seen “Untamed” before, you haven’t.

Sure, it has the familiar ingredients — grief, guilt and a secret buried beneath the pines — but Netflix’s moody mystery miniseries grabs your attention with a grim murder and keeps you hooked as its six episodes unfold, each ending on a cliffhanger that practically dares you not to hit “Next Episode.”

In an era saturated with high-concept thrillers and over-elaborate puzzle boxes, “Untamed” takes a slower, more considered route. Emotional authenticity and character-driven storytelling take precedence over procedural gimmicks or rapid-fire twists.

Oh, and it stars Eric Bana — reminding us why he is one of the great underappreciated talents of his generation.

July has been quite an interesting month for Netflix, releasing several films and TV series across different genres. Works like Virgin River are already getting a Season 8 renewal, whereas the German sci-fi, Brick, was praised for its unique plot. Adding to this ever-growing collection of Netflix Originals is its limited series, Untamed, which has left us mesmerized, flaunting how a murder mystery is made.

With Eric Bana in the lead, the 6-episode show has been an absolute gem of a watch. However, this has also brought up the question of whether the show was good enough to get renewed for another season. After all, viewers would love to explore other chapters of the thriller series.

However, with the expansion into cop shows with Y: Marshals, the floodgates have opened for every streaming service and studio to try their hands at developing similar projects.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Untamed.] “It was such a gut punch for Kyle,” Eric Bana says of the shocking reveal in the Untamed finale. The series follows his character, Kyle Turner, an Isb agent who investigates a mysterious death of a Jane Doe in Yosemite National Park. Alongside him is chief park ranger Paul Souter (Sam Neill) and Los Angeles cop-turned-ranger Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago). Other players include his ex-wife, Jill (Rosemarie DeWitt), as the two continue to grapple with the death of their son, Caleb, and former army ranger Shane Maguire (Wilson Bethel), who lives out in the woods and has a secret that, if revealed, would greatly affect Kyle and Jill.

Murder mysteries where solving the case at hand causes the unraveling of a small town, with the final twist being that the most kindhearted person is the killer, have become a dime a dozen. This year alone, we had Hound’s Hill, where a string of murders exposed the town’s sordid past and also showed that the patriarchal figure’s quest for justice wasn’t exactly all that righteous. Caught was a Harlan Coben adaptation; what else do you need to know? Paatal Lok Season 2, which took Hathi Ram Chaudhary to the Northeastern corners of India, showed that politicians and bureaucrats will never really care about common people as long as their coffers are full. The Glass Dome commented on lawmakers becoming the lawbreakers in order to satiate their most grotesque desires.

Detective work requires meticulous attention to detail, regardless of the setting. However, when a crime occurs amid one million acres of wilderness, investigations can take on a life of their own. Written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, Netflix’s new mystery-thriller, “Untamed,” is an engrossing ride that encompasses secrets, deep-seated wounds and one tenacious investigator’s attempt to lay it all bare. Set in the picturesque Yosemite National Park, the limited series follows Kyle Turner (an exceptional Eric Bana), a special agent for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (Isb). After a body is discovered in the park, Turner embarks on a ruthless quest to determine what happened. Gutting and unnerving, “Untamed” is an assessment of the human condition, showcasing just how animalistic we can be when backed into corners.

Untamed is the latest in the massive and ever-growing collection of Netflix limited series. The streaming giant seems to have a “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” approach, with quality all across the spectrum. On the backs of excellent writing and a strong cast, this is one of their better results.

When an unidentified young woman falls off a cliff to her death at Yosemite National Park, Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) is called in to investigate as a special agent for the National Parks Service Investigative Services Branch. While it at first appears to be a tragic accident, Turner finds evidence that suggests the possibility of something more sinister. His investigation threatens to bring dark, long-held secrets to the surface, secrets both from the park and Turner’s own past.

Untamed...

In the premiere of Netflix’s Untamed, Eric Bana’s Kyle Turner arrives at a pivotal crime scene on horseback, visage grizzled and posture rigid against the backdrop of British Columbia impersonating Yosemite National Park.

With a combination of snark and reverence, one of the park rangers refers to Turner as “Gary Fucking Cooper,” leaving little doubt of creators Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith’s aspirations.

Despite being filmed primarily in Canada and boasting an Australian as its taciturn leading man (and a Kiwi as his kindly mentor), Untamed wants to be a throwback slice of Western-infused Americana, self-consciously going after the audience that has made Yellowstone and its various offshoots into one of TV’s most successful franchises.

Although Netflix is billing it as a limited series, Untamed is far from inherently close-ended. It’s the sort of tightly — often too tightly — constructed six-episode potboiler with epic frontier...

The wilds of Yosemite National Park hold plenty of secrets, and in Untamed, it’s Kyle Turner’s (Eric Bana) job to uncover them. Turner is a special agent with the National Park Investigative Services Branch, and his latest case is the mysterious death of a Jane Doe, an unidentified young woman who fell from the top of El Capitan, the 3,000-foot-tall rock formation that dominates Yosemite. It’s the sort of mission Turner signed up for, but it will take him down a steep drop of his own, into the depths of the park — and his own past.

“Turner is a decorated agent, but he has had some personal trauma and this case is going to dredge that up for him,” Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), who co-created the series with her father, Mark L. Smith, tells Tudum. “He’s going to have to answer to that...

Netflix is headed into the heart of Yosemite with Untamed, a new limited thriller series. With all six episodes, Untamed will drop on July 17 on Netflix. Starring Eric Bana as a National Park Service special agent, the show sets its mystery against the sweeping landscapes of Yosemite National Park.

What do you get when you mix the stunning visuals and drama of Yellowstone with the dark undertones of Ozark? You get Netflix's newest crime thriller, Untamed. At least, that's how it looks on the surface thanks to the newly released teaser (seen below), which showcases the series' mystery that's set to unfold next month.

Set in Yosemite National Park and starring Eric Bana, the Untamed teaser opens with him pointing out that, despite the tourist location being visited by 4 million eager explorers each year, "they see maybe ten percent of the park." That leaves a lot of room for Untamed to cover, which the series aims to do over the course of its six episodes. "Things happen different out here," he says later on as we're treated to lots of gorgeous scenery, a dead body, and the series' many stars, which include Sam Neill, Rosemary DeWitt, and Lily Santiago.

Ott giant Netflix has an exciting slate of original films and shows lined up for release in the coming months. One such title quietly making its way to the streaming platform is the mystery thriller limited series Untamed. The series, which consists of six episodes, will premiere on Netflix on July 17, 2025. Here are three solid reasons why this show deserves a spot on your watchlist.

1. The Creators

The upcoming Netflix series has been created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith. For the unversed, Mark L. Smith is a screenwriter who has previously lent his writing skills to Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Oscar-winning film The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role.

He also created Netflix’s recent Western series, American Primeval, and his upcoming projects include Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi film The Dog Stars. With such an impressive filmography, streaming enthusiasts have every...

It was in 2015 that Leonardo DiCaprio finally got an Oscar award for Best Actor for The Revenant after waiting for years. After numerous nominations and an awfully long wait, it was magical to see him finally receive the acclaim he had been deserving of after all those years of waiting.

While we are awaiting similar knockout performances from him in the future, the writer of The Revenant is back with yet another equally interesting tale. Starring Eric Bana in the lead, the miniseries Untamed is written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith. A murder mystery, it echoes the same feel as DiCaprio’s Oscar-nominated flick, and might potentially reap rewards at the Emmys.
