What do you get when you mix the stunning visuals and drama of Yellowstone with the dark undertones of Ozark? You get Netflix’s newest crime thriller, Untamed. At least, that’s how it looks on the surface thanks to the newly released teaser (seen below), which showcases the series’ mystery that’s set to unfold next month. Set in Yosemite National Park and starring Eric Bana, the Untamed teaser opens with him pointing out that, despite the tourist location being visited by 4 million eager explorers each year, “they see maybe ten percent of the park.” That leaves a lot of room for Untamed to cover, which the series aims to do over the course of its six episodes. “Things happen different out here,” he says later on as we’re treated to lots of gorgeous scenery, a dead body, and the series’ many stars, which include Sam Neill, Rosemary DeWitt, and Lily Santiago.

7 Best Whodunnits To Stream on Netflix

Netflix houses clever, fast-paced whodunnits that will leave armchair sleuths guessing until the very end.

Starring Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent in an elite branch of the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness, Untamed sends him on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past. Accompanied by rookie park ranger Naya Vasquez (Santiago), the pair set out to unravel the mystery behind a brutal death, and considering the series was created by Mark L. Smith (American Primeval, The Revenant) and Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), we expect a lot of twists and turns on the way to getting answers.
‘Untamed’ Promises All the Fun of a Good Whodunit

As mentioned, Untamed boasts a stellar cast, including Neill as Paul Souter, a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who’s been the chief park ranger in Yosemite for half his life. Also along for the ride is DeWitt as Jill Bodwin, Turner’s ex-wife who remarried a few years after their divorce. Despite their marriage ending, the two maintain a strong bond that’s held together by events from their past. While it’s too early to know for sure, we suspect that there’s a lot more to Neill’s character of Souter than meets the eye based on the teaser trailer, and that’s part of the fun of movies and TV shows like Untamed. They allow you to read into things to try and guess who the killer is long before the big reveal. Oh, you heard some ominous music? Well, that must mean that guy’s in on it, right?! Untamed is just one of many series Netflix has on its schedule for summer and beyond, as we’ll also see the return of favorites like Squid Game, Wednesday, and – of course – the grand finale of Stranger Things later this year. All six episodes of the new crime thriller will drop on July 17, but if you’re in the mood to check out its inspirations before then, all four seasons of Ozark are available on the streaming service, while Yellowstone is available on Peacock. If you want to see what talent Untamed’s creators bring to the table, American Primeval is also available on Netflix, while The Marsh King’s Daughter is on Hulu. Source: Netflix/YouTube
