Eric Bana and Sam Neill embark on an enthralling journey through America’s national parks in the forthcoming Netflix limited series Untamed.
From creators Mark L. Smith (American Primeval, The Revenant) and Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), this character-driven mystery thriller centres on Kyle Turner (Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service. Turner’s role is to uphold human law within the expansive wilderness. When a gruesome death demands investigation, Turner finds himself entangled in the park’s dark secrets and haunted by shadows of his own past.
Joining Bana is Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Apples Never Fall), portraying Paul Souter, the seasoned chief park ranger of Yosemite. Souter, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and Turner’s close confidant – a man adept at navigating both the criminal activities within the park and the surrounding bureaucratic intricacies.
