Yes, Untamed season 2 is on its way! And considering the show racked up over 24 million views in its first week (making it the biggest English TV debut of 2025!), season 2 isn't be a surprise.
“Instead of Turner being in his element, he’ll be in a land where he doesn’t understand all the dangers and the risks, and he doesn’t understand the people around [him],” Mark L. Smith (the show's creator) told Tudum before the show was renewed. “He’ll be a little bit on his back foot and a little bit unsure, and he’ll have to learn as well.”
“I haven’t given too much thought on [a second season], to be honest,” Eric Bana told TV Insider. “It was so encompassing, but obviously we knew that the nature of his job is that these ISB agents do get moved around from park to park, which is why the ending is the way that it is because that is a very feasible thing and it was part of the story structure. So yeah, I guess it’s always possible, but it wasn’t something that we structurally played with whilst putting these episodes together.”
So will season 2 find our agents in a brand new park? Only time will tell.
