A character-driven mystery thriller, Untamed will see Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent in an elite branch of the National Parks Service.

The lives of these characters are tangled with each other, orbiting around the centre of Yosemite National Park and a brutal crime that takes place there.

Plot of Eric Bana’s Untamed

In this six-episode drama of Untamed, Kyle Turner, who is tasked with enforcing human law in nature’s vast wilderness, has his life changed after a devastating death takes place at his workplace. The event sent Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his life, too. According to the creator, Mark L. Smith, the series has made an attempt to highlight the dangers of Yosemite.

Other than bringing this engaging script to life by his acting, Eric Bana is also making money moves with Untamed as an executive producer. Smith, who is also producing, has stripped all the modern tools that people can use and brought it “down to the character and what they can find within themselves," he told Tudum. 

When do Untamed arrive on Netflix?

Netflix subscribers and Eric Bana fans have to wait a tad bit longer as his latest series is knocking on the screens on July 17. While fans wait for this special series, they can entertain themselves with other new series that have just arrived on the platform.
