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.

Hollywood legend makes epic comeback after six years off screens in new Netflix thriller - and debuts striking new look
A Hollywood legend has made an epic comeback after six years off our screens in a new Netflix thriller - debuting a striking new look. Eric Bana, well known for starring in 2009 film The Time Traveller's Wife alongside Rachel McAdams, has not featured in a TV series since 2019. This was true crime anthology series Dirty John, which saw him play the eponymous sociopath alongside The White Lotus 's Connie Britton and Ted Lasso 's Juno Temple. The Aussie actor, 56, is now set return to the small screen in Untamed, as a National Park Service agent investigating a brutal murder in Yosemite National Park. The six-part murder mystery series, due for release on Netflix on July 17, sees Eric star alongside Jurassic Park's Sam Neill and La La Land's Rosemarie DeWitt. Pictures of the star filming this latest role show the past six years have been quite kind to him - previously a dark-haired heartthrob, he is now firmly a silver fox. The images show the actor, still in great shape, with fully salt and pepper locks, along with a fair amount of scruff. Though Eric has not starred in a TV show in recent years, he has still had a full filming schedule starring in movies. The actor has made a foray into animated kids' films, with 2021's Back To The Outback and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers the following year. The former follows animals that try to escape from an Australian wildlife park to return to their native habitats, which also starred Isla Fisher, Guy Pearce and Keith Urban. The latter, meanwhile, is a follow-up to the 1989 TV show of the same name, about the beloved Disney chipmunk duo, and also features Seth Rogen and Andy Samberg. Eric also appeared as a voice actor in 2024 stop-motion film Memoir of a Snail, about the life of loner Grace, alongside Succession's Sarah Snook. He has also starred in several films directed by fellow Aussie Robert Connolly - thriller The Dry (2021) and its sequel Force Of Nature (2024), as well as 2022 drama Blueback. The Aussie actor broke on to the Hollywood scene in the noughties, making a splash in hyper-masculine leading roles like Hector in Troy (2004) and Bruce Banner in Hulk (2003). The Aussie actor broke on to the Hollywood scene in the noughties, making a splash in hyper-masculine leading roles like Hector in Troy (2004) and Bruce Banner in Hulk (2003). Pictured: Eric at the world premiere of Hulk in 2003 He also featured in Ridley Scott's high-octane 2001 war film Black Hawk Down, about a US military helicopter shot down in the Battle of Mogadishu in nineties Somalia. But Eric actually started his journey towards the limelight as a stand-up and sketch comedian - before his breakout performance in 2000 crime drama Chopper. His star quickly went on the rise - and he was even one of a small group of actors approached in 2005 to play James Bond. The role, of course, eventually went to Daniel Craig, who he starred alongside in Steven Spielberg's 2005 historical epic Munich, about the Mossad operation to kill Palestinian militants behind a 1972 terrorist attack in the German city. But Eric told The Independent in 2022: 'I wouldn't have wanted to be James Bond. 'It would have been too much fame for my head.' Where Daniel played the infamous spy for around 15 years, from 2006 to 2021, Eric said avoiding this huge fame has meant he is 'largely able to do whatever the hell I want, whenever I want'. He added it 'would have been a great loss' not to have this kind of independence. Eric still lives in his native Melbourne with his wife, publicist Rebecca Gleeson, and two children, having never moved to Los Angeles like many other actors do. Asked by TNT Magazine in 2014 if he thought this had harmed his career, he replied firmly: 'No. And even if it has, it wouldn't make any difference to me. 'I love my life with my wife and kids in Melbourne and that's my home. 'I don't mind flying to Los Angeles for a few days or weeks at a time to talk to people in Hollywood when I need to. 'I still have to travel to the US or other countries when I'm shooting movies, so it doesn't make any difference anyway. 'These days you can just go online and have meetings using your computer.' The debut of Eric's new silver fox image comes after another famous grey-haired looker returned to their natural colour - after a dodgy dye job. Back in March, George Clooney, 64, dyed his hair dark brown to play Edward R Murrow in the stage adaptation of his 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck. The actor - who recently earned a Tony Award nomination - previously admitted his wife Amal was not a fan of his darker 'do. And last month, Clooney's signature salt-and-pepper hair made a subtle comeback as he arrived at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. Wearing a white Bronx New York baseball cap, Clooney had noticeably grey sideburns as well as grey hair on the side of his neck. He styled his look with a black leather jacket, khaki pants, Adidas trainers and blue-tinted sunglasses. The Ocean's Eleven star looked to be in high spirits as he waved to fans and photographers outside the theatre. Clooney was accompanied by a security guard and a bodyguard as he prepared to star in the matinee performance of his Broadway play, which closed early this month.

Netflix thriller reveals major TV return for 'underrated' Hollywood legend
Eric Bana has returned to our TV screens after a six-year absence, and he's officially a silver fox. The 56-year-old Time Traveler's Wife star hasn't starred in a series since 2019's true crime anthology series Dirty John, in which he played titular sociopath John Meehan alongside Connie Britton. Now, he's reappearing in Netflix's new limited series Untamed, in which he portrays Kyle Turner – a National Parks Service agent who investigates a brutal death in the Yosemite National Park wilderness. By the same creators as The Revenant, the character-driven six-episode mystery is also co-produced by Eric, who stars alongside Jurassic Park's Sam Neill, La La Land's Rosemarie DeWitt, Lily Santiago, and Wilson Bethel. While Eric hasn't starred in any TV shows for a minute, he's still been busy appearing in various films, including A Sacrifice, Blueback in 2022, and 2020's award-winning adaptation of Jan Harper's book The Dry as well as the follow-up. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. He's also voiced a number of animations including Memoir of a Snail alongside Succession's Sarah Snook in 2024, and he appeared as Adam Durwood in podcast series The Orchard. While Eric's most notable roles since he appeared on the acting scene in the 00s include playing Hoot in Black Hawk Down, Hector in Troy, and as Bruce Banner in Hulk, he started off life in the spotlight as a stand-up and sketch comedian. The Troy star has previously talked about how he's approached his career in a balanced way since his breakout performance in 2000's Chopper. In 2005, he was one of a small group of actors alongside his Munich co-star Daniel Craig to be approached to play James Bond, but he never wanted the role. 'I wouldn't have wanted to be James Bond,' he told The Independent in 2022, adding: 'It would have been too much fame for my head.' Unlike Craig – who played 007 from 2006 to 2021 – Eric said a lack of such huge fame means he's 'largely able to do whatever the hell I want, whenever I want,' he said, adding that not having the freedom to do so 'would have been a great loss'. When asked by TNT Magazine in 2014 whether he thinks it had harmed his career not moving to Los Angeles- as many Australian actors do – he replied: 'No. And even if it has, it wouldn't make any difference to me. 'I love my life with my wife and kids in Melbourne and that's my home. I don't mind flying to Los Angeles for a few days or weeks at a time to talk to people in Hollywood when I need to. 'I still have to travel to the US or other countries when I'm shooting movies, so it doesn't make any difference anyway. These days you can just go online and have meetings using your computer.' Eric married publicist Rebecca Gleeson in 1997 two years after they are thought to have first crossed paths and they are still together almost 30 years on. They share two children – Klaus, 25, and Sophia, 23. Untamed lands on Netflix on July 17. Got a story?

Has Ivanka Trump distanced herself from MAGA? Her recent action 'subtly shading' father Donald Trump sparks buzz
Ivanka Trump recently shared a photograph on social media platform Instagram promoting a book written by a vocal critic of her father, President Donald Trump , sparking buzz online. She appeared to distance herself even further from the MAGA movement after promoting a book written by an author who actively campaigned against her father during the 2024 election cycle. The President's eldest daughter posted a shot of 'Untamed' Glennon Doyle's 2020 memoir , amongst a collection of photographs documenting the highlights of her week, according to The Independent. The post appeared on Ivanka's Instagram story. Ivanka Trump supports father's critics Ivanka Trump has chosen to openly support one of her father President Donald Trump's model-turned-business-woman has stepped away from the limelight, solely sharing glimpses into her glam life that includes lavish rehearsal dinners and Miami boat rides. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Make the move from OpenAI to Open Source Intel® Xeon® Learn More Undo This week, she shared an array of photos showing her 'week in Miami,' which includes working out, eating gourmet meals, spending time with her family and friends and lastly, but most intriguingly, reading Glennon Doyle 's book Untamed. The novel's synopsis says, 'It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table.' Live Events The book topped the New York Times bestseller list, but that wasn't what truly captured her fans' attention. The author has been an outspoken critic of the President and even publicly endorsed Kamala Harris during his presidential campaign last fall. When the former Vice President replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee last summer, she expressed support for Harris—while also taking a subtle jab at the sitting President. 'Winning this election to save America' On Instagram, she said, 'Winning this election to save America from fascism will be hard. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. AND WE WILL. No more fear. We gotta BELIEVE and we gotta WORK. CHINS UP SHOULDERS BACK: Let's effing go." "Listen at link to our incredible conversation with the future POTUS @KamalaHarris about her vision for America, Roe v. Wade, and HOW WE MUST RECLAIM PATRIOTISM.' Untamed is Doyle's memoir, described on Amazon as a story about how she "learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table." A few weeks before the results of the election was announced, she also said, 'If Trump wins, we lose, out daughters will have fewer rights than our mothers.' Her dislike for the President extends for the past decade, even when he was running for President for the first time in 2016. A month before that election, she took to Facebook with another strong message, stating, 'I am an American woman and I am appalled and furious that people I know and respect might vote into the presidency a man who brags about sexual assault. Go ahead, list the excuses for this. There are none.' 'There's a hell of a lot of misogyny surfacing right now and silence about it is a CHOICE,' she continued. 'If you are a woman or love a woman Speak Up Now before it's too late.'
