Second installment of hit Netflix series Untamed, a gripping murder-mystery set in Yosemite, set to air on small screens for eager fans to enjoy.
Netflix has officially announced the renewal of the murder-mystery series "Untamed" for a second season, less than two weeks after its highly successful premiere[1][2][4]. The show, which has already garnered over 25 million views, promises to continue its captivating narrative with a new mystery set in a different national park[2].
"Untamed" follows the investigations of special agent Kyle Turner, played by Eric Bana, as he delves into crimes within the National Parks system[1][2]. In the first season, Turner's investigations led him to Yosemite National Park, a location that played a pivotal role in the show's plot due to its rugged terrain and mysterious atmosphere[1].
Yosemite National Park, one of America's largest and most popular parks, is home to the towering El Capitan peak, which stands around 7,569ft (2,307m) above sea level[1]. The park offers breathtaking views to anyone who climbs it and boasts hundreds of picturesque hiking trails, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts[6].
The first season of "Untamed" saw Turner investigating a woman's death at Yosemite's El Capitan, a location that gained new notoriety in 2018 with the release of the film "Free Solo," documenting climber Alex Honnold's journey to scale it without additional safety equipment[7].
As for the upcoming season, while details are scarce, it is expected to continue the National Parks investigative theme and potentially delve into new unsolved cases in varying wilderness settings[2][3]. The production team has not yet announced a release date for the second season.
Eric Bana, who plays special agent Kyle Turner, expressed his excitement about the renewal of "Untamed" for a second season, looking forward to continuing the exploration of new mysteries[5]. With the success of the first season, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the second season, hoping to uncover more secrets hidden within America's national parks.
