Netflix just renewed its must-watch mystery thriller series 'Untamed' for season 2 — here's what you should know
Netflix confirmed today that "Untamed" will return for a second season, offering fans another suspense-filled descent into the dark heart of the wilderness. Written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, the mystery thriller show starring Eric Bana was initially announced as a limited series. But Netflix seems keen to order more after "Untamed" crashed the Netflix top 10 shortly after arriving on July 17. It went on to rack up an impressive 24.6 million views in its first week of release. 'I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of 'Untamed' to life,' Bana said in a statement shared by Netflix on Tuesday. '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. Massive thanks to Netflix, John Wells Productions, Warner Bros. Television and our fans.' Bana will reprise his role as Kyle Turner, a brooding investigator for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness. In season 1, the investigation of a brutal death sends him deep into Yosemite National Park, where he uncovers dark secrets that force him to confront a past he's been running from. "Untamed" is Mark Smith's second Netflix show of 2025 after 'American Primeval," a Western thriller that's on the short list for our favorite shows of 2025. So far this year, he's batting a thousand among critics and audiences, as "Untamed" is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an 80% critics' score and 71% on the Popcornmeter. In her "Untamed" review, my colleague Alix Blackburn wrote, "If you're after a mystery that doesn't rely on gimmicks or overblown twists, 'Untamed' is the rare Netflix thriller that keeps things feeling real, and that's exactly what makes it work." Since "Untamed" only just got renewed for its sophomore outing, details are pretty scarce right now. But showrunners Mark and Elle Smith offered some details about what we can expect from Turner's next chapter. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For starters, the next time we see him, he'll have already been working at a few different parks before landing at his season 2 destination to investigate a whole new mystery. 'Elle and I envisioned it as a stand-alone, six episodes,' Mark told Netflix of plans for the first season. '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?'' 'We've done Yosemite. What's the next park that could feel different from that?' co-creator Elle added. '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.' A fresh mystery will accompany the new frontier as well. "We can make the case organic to a different kind of park, a different kind of landscape, [and] not have someone just fall off another mountain,' Mark said. 'Our theme has been that this park is our main character, this park is sort of alive,' Elle said. 'We do want to maintain that thread. Whichever park we choose will be a character, and it will kind of play a role in Turner's emotional frame of mind.' Given the change of scenery, Turner will be trekking into unfamiliar territory that puts him on the back foot. This time around, instead of playing the grizzled veteran, his role will be closer to that of his rookie sidekick, Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), in the first season. As Turner gets his bearings in the new setting, he'll also be getting to know its inhabitants. 'We're going to make sure we populate it with characters that are interesting and help him in ways both good and bad,' Mark says. It's unclear whether we'll see Turner's colleagues from Yosemite reprise their roles in season 2. 'We're trying to figure that stuff out because my God, we loved our cast and we loved the characters that they brought to life,' Mark said. 'In an ideal world, we would be able to pull something off.' "Untamed" has quickly become one of this year's most popular watches on the streaming service. With just six episodes, it's perfect for a weekend binge. Since the first season was planned as a limited series, there aren't really many loose ends to tie up or cliffhangers to explore in season 2. But if "Untamed's" sophomore outing is as compelling as its first, fans will likely be eager to dive into more classic murder mystery twists and turns set against the beautiful yet terrifying backdrop of the remote wilderness. There's no word yet on when "Untamed" season 2 will premiere. Production hasn't started yet, but if we had to guess, we'd expect a likely premiere sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. For now, you can stream the first season of "Untamed" (again) on Netflix or check out our round-up of the 5 best shows like "Untamed" to tide you over in the meantime.

'It' Prequel Series 'Welcome to Derry' Drops New Trailer
Yara Sameh 'It' prequel series, 'Welcome to Derry', is bringing everyone's favorite killer clown to the small screen later this year. The second teaser for the upcoming HBO series was unveiled Saturday night at a spooky late-night San Diego Comic-Con panel before it was released online Sunday. In the clip, viewers catch a glimpse of the panic that ensues as a nefarious force begins to creep its way into Derry, and children start disappearing. The footage primarily focuses on Taylour Paige, who plays a young woman who has just moved to Derry with her husband, when things start to go awry in the small town. Despite Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise briefly appearing at the end, his presence is felt throughout. Taking place in the world of Stephen King's IT universe, "Welcome to Derry" expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films, which amassed a combined $1.17 billion worldwide. Set 27 years before the events of the two 'It' movies, the show begins in the 1960s, in the time leading up to the events of 2017's 'It: Part One'. As the story goes, the murderous entity It feeds on children before hibernating for 27 years, so the show follows It's previous killing spree before the events of the 'It' films. 'Welcome to Derry' cast also includes Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Madeleine Stowe, and Rudy Mancuso. 'This is a book we love a lot, and we felt that there was still a lot of story to be covered,' Andy Muschietti and his sister and producing partner Barbara Muschietti said in a previous statement. 'It's so rich with characters and events, we thought we would do justice to the book and the fans by going back into this world. Specifically, we are telling the stories of the interludes, writings by Mike Hanlon based on his investigation that includes interviews he conducts with the older people in the town. In Welcome to Derry, we touch on the usual themes that were talked about in the movie — friendship, loss, the power of unified belief — but this story focuses also on the use of fear as a weapon, which is one of the things that is also relevant to our times.' 'Welcome to Derry' is produced by HBO and Warner Bros. Television, with a story by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs. They executive produce alongside Brad Caleb Kane, David Coatsworth, Bill Skarsgård, Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin. Fuchs, who wrote the teleplay for the first episode, is a co-showrunner with Kane. The series was developed for television by "It" filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, as well as Jason Fuchs. Muschietti, who directed 'It: Part One' and 2019's 'It: Part Two', is attached to executive produce the series along with Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs. Fuchs is writing the first episode of the series, based on a story by him and the Muschiettis. Andy will also direct multiple episodes, including the first. Fuchs and Brad Caleb Kane serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, with the Muschiettis also executive producing via their Double Dream production company. Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin also executive produce. The series is produced by HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television. 'It' was previously adapted into a two-part miniseries for ABC back in 1990, featuring Tim Curry as Pennywise. 'Welcome to Derry' will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max in October. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Hagrid's look revealed in HBO's new Harry Potter series
HBO has officially unveiled its new Rubeus Hagrid: Nick Frost. The Shaun of the Dead star will portray the gentle half-giant in the upcoming Harry Potter series, which began production this week and is scheduled to debut in 2027. Frost follows the late Robbie Coltrane, who famously played the Hogwarts groundskeeper across all eight original films. In the newly released first-look image, Frost embraces Hagrid's rugged charm and towering presence, complete with the signature wild hair and warm demeanour that made the character a fan favourite. He joins a fresh cast led by newcomer Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, with Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. The trio were selected from a massive audition process that saw over 30,000 young actors try out for the iconic roles. The series promises to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's books, unfolding over multiple seasons with a new cast and creative team. Frost's casting as Hagrid has sparked intrigue, especially given his reputation for blending heart and humour in past roles. His presence may bring a slightly more comedic, yet heartfelt tone to the character. The show is being produced by HBO in partnership with Warner Bros. Television and remains one of the most anticipated releases of the decade. Details on other characters and plot specifics remain under wraps, but early signs suggest a bold new chapter in the Wizarding World. Harry Potter fans will have to wait until 2027, but with casting revelations like Frost's, excitement is already brewing.
