Untamed: Netflix's New Mystery Thriller Crowned 'Best Show of 2025'

NETFLIX SENSATION: "UNTAMED" TAKES THE WORLD BY STORM!

Get ready for the most talked-about show of 2025 - "Untamed", the gripping Netflix mystery thriller that's got everyone hooked! With its stunning scenery, intense performances, and mind-blowing plot twists, it's no wonder fans are raving about this six-episode masterpiece.

Written and created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, "Untamed" premiered on July 15th, but many viewers have already devoured the entire series in one sitting (yes, we've all been there!). The show follows National Park Service investigative services branch special agent Kyle Turner (played to perfection by Eric Bana) as he delves into a murder mystery in Yosemite National Park. But this is no ordinary whodunit - with its dark secrets, surprising twists, and breathtaking scenery, "Untamed" will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The all-star cast includes Sam Neil as chief park ranger Paul Souter, Rosemarie DeWitt as Kyle's ex-wife, Lily Santiago as National Park Service ranger Naya Vasquez (who steals every scene she's in!), Wilson Bethel as wildlife management officer Shane Maguire, and many more. With their incredible performances, you'll feel like you're right there alongside them, navigating the treacherous wilderness of Yosemite.

But don't just take our word for it - fans are going wild online! "Phenomenal work and gorgeously shot," raves one viewer on thescholarlynote.com. "I selfishly hope Kyle's journey continues in another series. He's like a broken Atticus Finch of a hero!" Meanwhile, others have been comparing "Untamed" to the critically-acclaimed HBO drama "True Detective". "The best detective series since the first True Detective," writes one fan on IMDB. "Could not stop watching from the first minute of the series. This is an excellent show with great setting and actors and plot."

But what's got everyone really talking? The possibility of a second season! With Eric Bana hinting that they've discussed what happens to Kyle after this, fans are holding their breath for more. And Lily Santiago has given us a sneak peek into her hopes for Naya Vasquez's future adventures: "In a season 2, I want more solving of murders... and new location, like bring me to a mountain in Hawaii!"

While we wait with bated breath for an official announcement from Netflix, let's take a look at some of the most memorable moments from "Untamed". From the stunning scenery of Yosemite to the heart-pumping twists and turns, every episode is a masterclass in suspense. And don't even get us started on the cast - with their incredible chemistry and performances, you'll be hooked from start to finish.
