Netflix’s hit new crime drama, which premiered on the streamer in July, has been renewed for a second season.
Netflix has hit the jackpot with its new murder mystery, hailed as one of the platform’s standout shows of 2025, which has just been greenlit for a second season.
The six-part detective series, often likened to HBO’s acclaimed True Detective, has garnered glowing reviews and soared to the top of Netflix’s TV rankings in July.
Eric Bana stars as Kyle Turner, a National Parks Service special agent in Untamed, portraying the seasoned detective as he unravels the enigmatic death of a young woman while grappling with his own personal loss.
The first season also featured performances by Sam Neill and Rosemarie DeWitt. While specifics about the upcoming season remain under wraps, Deadline has confirmed Bana’s return as Turner, ready to crack another case.

“The response to Season 1 has been a testament to the incredible effort by our crew to deliver something truly unique. I can’t wait to take Kyle on his next journey.”
Series creator Mark L Smith, who developed the show alongside his daughter Elle Smith, shared with Tudum: “Elle and I envisioned it as a stand-alone, six episodes.
“But then the more that we got into it, it was just such a great cast … it was just like, ‘Oh yeah, how do we keep this going?'”
Fans are ecstatic about the series’ return, especially after Untamed racked up an astonishing 50 million views within its initial fortnight.
One enthusiast took to IMDb to proclaim: “The best detective series since the first True Detective.

“Could not stop watching from the first minute of the series. This is [an] excellent show with great setting and actors and plot.”
Another chimed in: “Phenomenal work and gorgeously shot. Selfishly I hope Kyle’s journey continues in another series. He’s like a broken Atticus Finch of a hero.”
A five-star Google review gushed: “Untamed is amazing. Eric Bana is incredible-quiet, intense, and completely believable as a man dealing with insurmountable grief while trying to solve a mystery in Yosemite.
“The show looks stunning; the park feels like its own character with breathtaking shots of cliffs, forests, and rivers.
“If you like mystery shows that have heart, amazing acting, and absolutely gorgeous scenery, Untamed is a must-watch.”

Another fan enthused: “Loved this show, it’s a real tear jerker but also kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of the very best shows Netflix has put out. Great story telling, great actors and beautiful scenery.”
And a final admirer declared: “The best series that I have watched in a long time.
“Honestly, I could watch this series over and over. I really hope that Netflix makes a part two.”
Fans will be thrilled to learn that their wishes have been granted, with Bana set to reprise his role as Turner. After leaving Yosemite to confront his past, viewers can expect more dark secrets to unravel in the upcoming episodes.
Untamed is available to stream on Netflix.
