Explore the chilling new trailer for Untamed, a murder-mystery series unfolding amidst the breathtaking wilderness of Yosemite, exclusively on Netflix
Get ready for an exhilarating journey into the heart of Yosemite National Park with the new Netflix limited series, Untamed. Created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, this six-episode drama promises to deliver a captivating tale set against the stunning backdrop of one of America's most iconic landscapes.
The story begins with a tragic event, the death of a woman who falls from El Capitan, one of Yosemite's famous cliffs. This incident triggers a murder investigation led by two detectives, Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) and Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), special agents for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (ISB). As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a world of corruption, drug trafficking, and hidden communities within the park[1][3].
The series is not just a typical "dead-girl mystery." It delves into the personal lives of the investigators, revealing their struggles to reconcile past events with the new case at hand. Turner, the main character, believes the killings might be connected, leading him to confront his own demons[2]. Meanwhile, Vasquez, a new ranger, faces challenges in her personal life while trying to solve the mystery[3].
The vast wilderness of Yosemite is more than just a setting in Untamed. It becomes a significant character in its own right, showcasing both the park's breathtaking beauty and its hidden dangers. The series also highlights the fact that despite the millions of visitors each year, only a small fraction of the park's land is explored by them[3].
The trailer for Untamed suggests that the victim was running from something, but details on the plot are scarce. However, it does show Turner rappelling from the top of a cliff and going underground, hinting at a thrilling and suspenseful journey[4]. A chilling line in the trailer also implies that more bodies might fall like the stars[4].
Outdoor enthusiasts are also excited about another trailer, The Sound, featuring climbers Alex Honnold, Hazel Findlay, and Brette Harrington. This further emphasizes the series' commitment to portraying the real-life challenges and thrills of exploring Yosemite[5].
Untamed is set to premiere on Netflix from July 17 in both the US and UK. Join Kyle Turner, Naya Vasquez, and a star-studded cast, including Sam Neill, Rosemary DeWitt, Wilson Bethel, and William Smille, for a thrilling ride into the heart of Yosemite National Park's mysteries[1][3]. Get ready for a rollercoaster of suspense, drama, and breathtaking visuals. Untamed awaits!
