🌲 Untamed – A Chilling Murder Mystery Set in the Wild Heart of Yosemite | Streaming July 17, 2025

Get ready to journey into the untamed wilderness, where beauty hides brutality and nature conceals chilling secrets. Netflix's upcoming murder mystery series “Untamed”, starring Eric Bana and Sam Neill, is poised to take you deep into Yosemite National Park for a thriller that is as scenic as it is sinister—created by Mark L. Smith, the acclaimed writer behind The Revenant and American Primeval, Untamed premieres July 17, 2025.

🔍 Premise: Nature Doesn’t Forget

In Untamed, a body is discovered deep within the sprawling terrain of Yosemite National Park—a place where few eyes ever go, and fewer truths survive. What begins as a standard investigation quickly unravels into a layered and haunting mystery, revealing dark secrets buried in both the landscape and the people who inhabit it.

At its heart is Kyle Turner, a seasoned but tormented investigator (played by Eric Bana), whose return to the national park becomes more than just a case—it becomes a reckoning. Alongside him is Paul Souter (Sam Neill), a man from his past, with whom Turner shares more than just history.
