Yosemite has close to a million acres of wilderness.
Netflix’s new mystery thriller series Untamed, starring Aussie Eric Bana and Kiwi Sam Neill, drops July 17th with British Columbia playing the wilds of Yosemite National Park.
Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), an Investigative Services Branch agent of the National Parks Service, 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.
El Capitan looks a bit like Squamish’s famous rock face The Chief in the trailer.
