Although there is currently no news on how the Untamed story will continue, after the first season wrapped up fairly neatly, we’ve had some insight to tell us that the setting likely won’t be Yosemite (Picture: Netflix)
Shedding light on what more episodes could possibly involve, co-showrunner Elle Smith told TV Insider: ‘If we got the opportunity to do it again, it would be getting to explore a different park, a different case. ‘We would do this forever if they let us, but we’ll see. We’ll see how many adventures Turner has left in him' (Picture: NETFLIX)
Heaping praise on Untamed, Linda R commented: ‘Fast paced with startling turns of event. Well cast with believable portrayals of individual characters while still maintaining a “Hollywood pretty” aesthetic. Yosemite is stunning. ‘I hope there’s another season; get your friends and family to watch. It will be time well spent!’ (Picture:NETFLIX)
