Untamed<\/p>\n
Netflix<\/p>\n
Netflix has a new #1 show, Untamed, a series about a federal agent investigating an apparent murder in Yosemite National Park. It\u2019s reviewing pretty well, fans seem to like it, and once you binge the six episodes, you may be wondering about a second season.<\/p>\n
Well there\u2019s bad news but actually, some surprising good news.<\/p>\n
The bad news is that as you may have seen, this is listed as a limited series, meaning that it was originally meant to be a self-contained offering with no continuation afterward. And recent comments from its star, Eric Bana, don\u2019t seem the most promising, even if he says it\u2019s not impossible:<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t given too much thought on this, to be honest,\u201d star and executive producer Eric Bana said to TV Insider<\/a>. \u201cIt was so encompassing, but obviously we knew that the nature of his job is that these ISB agents do get moved around from park to park, which is why the ending is the way that it is because that is a very feasible thing and it was part of the story structure. So yeah, I guess it\u2019s always possible, but it wasn\u2019t something that we structurally played with whilst putting these episodes together.\u201d<\/p>\n Untamed<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n So, he\u2019s not thinking about it and the show was not structured this way. Does that mean everyone is moving on? Not exactly. Here\u2019s co-showrunner Elle Smith<\/a>, who seems far more optimistic about the possibility:<\/p>\n \u201cOh, we would do this forever if they let us, but we\u2019ll see,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019ll see how many adventures Turner has left in him\u2026 They go to different national parks and they do travel from park to park and case to case and things like that. So I think that\u2019s what was interesting to us, and if we got the opportunity to do it again, it would be getting to explore a different park, a different case.”<\/p>\n It feels like we had these exact same conversations about co-showrunner Mark L. Smith\u2019s last Netflix production, American Primeval, which did very well on the service, leading to questions about making the limited series not so limited after all. There was positive talk about a potential prequel series there, but nothing came of it yet. Here, it seems that a sequel season 2 could be more likely, but it still may be a longshot. However, if Untamed remains in the top spot for a long while, this may become more and more likely if Netflix wants to return to the concept and character.<\/p>\n I still haven\u2019t gotten to it yet, but I\u2019ve meant to. At only six episodes, it seems like it will be a fairly breezy watch, and I\u2019m always down for a good murder mystery. I\u2019ll see if I think it should nab a season 2 myself soon enough.
