"According to IMDb, the show debuted at number one on Netflix's Top 10 Shows list, with 24.6 million views and 119.5 million hours watched in only its first week of streaming. The first and only season thus far was set in Yosemite National Park: At the center is grief-ridden Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) a National Parks Service agent called in to investigate a crime scene when a woman falls from El Capitan under mysterious circumstances."
"While Sierra Nevada's granite peaks and cathedral forests loom large in the story; in reality, much of what viewers saw onscreen was filmed in Canada's British Columbia. There, remote terrain and a seasoned film industry offered both the flexibility and rugged aesthetic the production needed-without the apparent logistical headaches that come with shooting inside a US national park."
"Untamed season 2 has the opportunity to physically and emotionally test Bana's character in wild new places. This means the next landscape must do more than look wild; it has to feel alive, volatile, and emotionally charged-a terrain that forces out what characters keep hidden. According to Netflix, the new season is aiming to "showcase a park as distinct from Yosemite as possible.""
Untamed debuted in July 2025 with strong viewer numbers and topped Netflix’s Top 10 list, registering 24.6 million views and 119.5 million hours watched in its first week. The first season places grief-stricken National Parks Service agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) in Yosemite-set mystery after a woman falls from El Capitan. Much of the series was filmed in British Columbia for logistical flexibility and rugged aesthetics, with staged ranger stations and backcountry exteriors standing in for Yosemite. Season two aims to test the lead emotionally and physically by showcasing a park markedly different from Yosemite.
