Netflix is back with a new juicy murder mystery. Set in Yosemite National Park, Untamed follows a National Park Service agent named Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) who’s tasked with investigating a suspicious death that takes place on park grounds. The six-episode limited series is brought to you by Mark L. Smith (Twisters, The Revenant) and his daughter Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter).
When Bana read the Untamed script back in 2019, he knew he had to be involved in the father-daughter helmed project. “I just thought it was such a fantastic combination of the thriller genre, the suspense, the murder mystery, but most importantly, in the most incredible setting,” he told Variety. “I think the idea of following someone who’s trying to solve a crime, knocking on doors, and driving a car, I’ve seen that so many times. To see someone in a national park do it on a horse just seems so much more interesting and much more fun to do.”
All six episodes of Untamed are now streaming on Netflix, and it’s currently the #1 ranked show on the platform. Below, get to know the main cast.
