Netflix's next mystery thriller series drops a trailer — and I can't wait to see Eric Bana hunting a killer
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you were one of the many people who tuned into Netflix's "American Primeval" earlier this year, the streaming service just dropped an intense teaser trailer for creator Mark L. Smith's next Netflix project — and it's streaming soon. Created with Elle Smith ("The Marsh King's Daughter"), "Untamed" is billed as a "character-driven mystery thriller" that revolves around a murder in the grounds of Yosemite National Park. In this six-episode series, we'll see Eric Bana step into frame as Kyle Turner, an Investigative Services Branch agent on the hunt for a killer. The problem is, the murderer apparently knows the park as well as Turner does ... and there are dark, dangerous secrets lurking in both the park and Turner's past. The above "Untamed" teaser naturally shows us some stunning scenes from the park itself... but that tense, rising score hints that something sinister is afoot. And when Bana tells a colleague, "Things happen different out here," the trailer pivots, offering a montage of stars, snatches of action, a decomposed body, and a bone-crunching sound as someone flings themself into a tree. It's not much to go on, but as a tone-setting piece, it looks intense. And if you can't wait to see the mystery solved, you'll be pleased to know "Untamed" premieres exclusively on Netflix on Thursday, July 17. Netflix has already released a short plot summary of what to expect from "Untamed." It reads: "A character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner (played by [Eric] 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." Over on Tudum, though, we've gotten a few more details. As you've seen above, Turner is accompanied on his investigation by Naya, a mother who's swapped her life in Los Angeles for life as a rookie park ranger. 'Because Vasquez is new to the park, we get to see the park through her eyes,' co-showrunner Elle Smith tells Tudum. 'We get to understand what this job is, and see the beauty of the park, but also the dangers.' In addition to Bana, "Untamed" also stars Sam Neill as Yosemite's chief park ranger, Paul Souter, Rosemarie DeWitt as Turner's ex-wife, Jill Bodwin, and Wilson Bethel as Shane Maguire, a former army ranger who's now the park's wildlife management officer.

Untamed OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Eric Bana and Sam Neill's murder mystery thriller series
Untamed OTT Release Date: Netflix's new murder mystery series is all set to drop this July 17, and it's bringing the wild side of Yosemite National Park straight to your screen. Untamed is a six-episode mystery thriller that dives into a brutal murder deep inside Yosemite National Park, but it's more than just a whodunit. Eric Bana stars as Kyle Turner, a special agent with the elite Investigative Services Branch (ISB) of the National Parks Service. His job? Solve crimes that happen in some of America's most remote and breathtaking landscapes. This time, Turner is on the trail of a killer who seems to know Yosemite just as well as he does. As he hunts down clues, Turner also has to face some dark secrets from his own past and those hidden within the park itself. Who else is in the cast? Eric Bana (Troy, Dirty John) as Kyle Turner, the lead investigator. Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) as Paul Souter, the experienced Yosemite chief ranger and Turner's longtime friend. Rosemarie DeWitt (La La Land) as Jill Bodwin, Turner's ex-wife, who still plays an important role in his life. Lily Santiago (La Brea) as Naya Vasquez, a rookie ranger from L.A., learning the ropes of wilderness law enforcement. Wilson Bethel (Daredevil) as Shane Maguire, a wildlife officer and ex-Army ranger who prefers the solitude of nature. The people behind the series Untamed comes from the minds of Mark L. Smith (The Revenant, American Primeval) and Elle Smith (The Marsh King's Daughter). The show is designed to focus on characters and human emotion just as much as mystery and suspense. Speaking about the idea behind the series, co-creator Mark L. Smith said, 'Everyone thinks of Yosemite as this beautiful place with all the vistas and all the scenery, but we were trying to touch on the dangers that are just beyond that. I love stripping all the cheats away, stripping all the more modern tools that people can use. It really gets down to the character and what they can find within themselves.' Catch all six episodes of Untamed starting July 17, 2025, only on Netflix.
