Is Netflix's Untamed Really a Limited Series? Season 2 Could Happen
Untamed hits Netflix on July 17, promising a six-episode mystery-thriller set against the backdrop of Yosemite National Park — a place full of beauty, danger, and apparently, murder.
The show stars Eric Bana as a National Park Service special agent investigating a brutal death that exposes far darker secrets.
But even though Untamed is billed as a limited series, that may not mean what it used to. Netflix hasn't renewed it yet — or ruled it out. If the show lands with audiences, a second season isn't off the table.
What's Untamed About?
Eric Bana plays Kyle Turner, a special agent with the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch, navigating crime and chaos in the wilderness. When a grisly death is discovered, the investigation pulls Turner deep into Yosemite's shadows — and into his own past.
The cast includes:
- Eric Bana as Kyle Turner
- Sam Neill as Paul Souter, Yosemite's long-serving chief park ranger
- Rosemarie DeWitt as Jill Bodwin, Turner's ex-wife and former park counselor
- Lily Santiago as Naya Vasquez, a sharp former LAPD cop starting fresh with her son
- Wilson Bethel as Shane Maguire, a loner and Wildlife Management Officer
- William Smillie as Bruce Milch, a veteran ranger with an attitude
The showrunners are Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, with Bana also producing alongside John Wells, Erin Jontow, and others.
When and Where to Watch

Will There Be a Season 2?
Officially, no — not yet. But with the way Netflix plays it, "limited series" usually means "we'll see how the numbers look." And with a cast this stacked and a murder mystery format that easily allows for a new case each season, Untamed could absolutely return if enough people tune in.
For now, it's a standalone. But if Netflix's past habits are any indication, nothing stays limited for long if the viewership is strong.
