At the finale of season 1, Kyle distanced himself from Yosemite after experiencing one of the hardest cases of his career that took a toll on him, mentally and physically. The co-creator, Mark L. Smith, said that Kyle would be back on his feet, and they would be making him go through quite uncomfortable situations.
The details about the upcoming season
'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,' Elle Smith, the co-creator, said, dropping the crumbs that the landscape will be tougher and will be incorporated into storytelling to increase the risk factor.
The return of the cast is not confirmed by the team, as they are considering changing the cast with respect to the locations.
