Netflix renews Untamed for a season 2 with Eric Bana’s special agent Kyle Turner investigating a new mystery in a new American national park.
I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of Untamed to life, The response to Season 1 has been a testament to the incredible effort by our crew to deliver something truly unique. — Eric Bana in a statement.
Kyle Turner left Yosemite National Park at the end of season one and showrunners Mark L. Smith and Ellie Smith tell Tuduum .that it’s common for real-life investigative service branch agents in the National Parks Service to travel from park to park.
The season 2 national park won’t be the first park Turner’s been in since Yosemite. He’ll have been busy taking a lot of different cases in a lot of different parks but the season 2 park will be far more “impactful”.
We’ve done Yosemite. What’s the next park that could feel different from that? Each national park has such a different cultural identity, geographical identity. Being able to explore those places through the case and through Turner’s journey is what’s so fascinating. — Ellie Smith to Tuduum.
Will production return to British Columbia? It likely depends on which national park they choose.

But wherever Turner ends up in season 2, it won’t be the same as Yosemite which he knew so well and felt comfortable leading the investigation despite the challenges. He’ll be on his “back foot” in the new park and will have to find his way like Lily Santiago’s new park ranger Naya Vasquez did in Yosemite in season one.
Will characters from Yosemite return for season 2?
We’re trying to figure that stuff out because my God, we loved our cast and we loved the characters that they brought to life. In an ideal world, we would be able to pull something off — Mark L. Smith to Tuduum.
