Netflix today revealed a teaser trailer (below) and new photos from the upcoming mystery thriller series, Untamed, written by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant, American Primeval).
The series is set in Yosemite National Park and stars Eric Bana (The Other Boleyn Girl, Troy), Sam Neill (Apples Never Fall, Jurassic Park), Lily Santiago (La Brea), Rosemary DeWitt (Smile 2, The Boys), and Wilson Bethel (All Rise, Hart of Dixie).
Untamed will premiere on Netflix on July 17 with all 6 episodes.
The logline reads, “A character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner (played by Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.”
Eric Bana plays Kyle Turner: A special agent for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (ISB) who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast territories.
Sam Neill plays Paul Souter: Souter has been the chief park ranger in Yosemite for half his life. He’s a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend to Turner. He’s comfortable in all facets of his job, whether it’s dealing with crime inside the park or with the bureaucracy around it.
Lily Santiago plays Naya Vasquez: An ambitious young, former Los Angeles cop, Vasquez is the newest addition to Yosemite’s ranger squad. She came to the park to find a new life with her 4-year-old son, Gael. Despite being a little green when it comes to a landscape like Yosemite, her strong will, astute investigative skills, and big-city homicide techniques become useful tools in a murder that is distinctly human.
Rosemary DeWitt plays Jill Bodwin: Jill is Turner’s ex-wife, a former teacher and park counselor, who remarried a few years after their divorce. Despite the fracturing of their marriage, Jill and Turner maintain a strong bond, held together by events from their past.
Wilson Bethel plays Shane Maguire: A former army ranger, Maguire now uses his skills as the park’s Wildlife Management Officer. Maguire’s a loner, preferring to live by himself in the wilderness where it’s easier to follow his own rules.
