Netflix’s new murder mystery called one of the streamer’s best shows of 2025 has been renewed for a second season.
Drawing comparisons to HBO’s hit drama True Detective, this six-part detective show scored rave reviews from fans and dominated the streamer’s TV chart in July.
Starring Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a National Parks Service special agent, Untamed follows the grizzled investigator solving a young woman’s mysterious death whilst struggling to come to terms with a family tragedy.
Sam Neill and Rosemarie DeWitt also starred in the first season. Details about season two are sparse, but Deadline confirms Bana will return as Turner to solve another mystery.
In a statement, the actor said: “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. I can’t wait to take Kyle on his next journey.”
Mark L Smith, who created the series with his daughter Elle Smith, told 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?’”
Countless fans will be thrilled to see the series return after Untamed received an impressive 50 million views in its first two weeks of release.
One viewer shared their thoughts on IMDb: “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 said: “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.”
Someone else raved in a five-star Google review: “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 added: “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 fan 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’s prayers have been answered as Bana will return as Turner after leaving Yosemite to let go of his past - but there’ll undoubtedly be more sinister conspiracies lurking just around the corner.
Untamed is available to stream on Netflix.
