Don’t be fooled, the new series Untamed might be set in the beautiful wilderness of Yosemite National Park, but its plot is downright terrifying.
Australian star Eric Bana and New Zealand actor Sam Neill have joined forces in the new mystery thriller, where a murder takes place in Yosemite.
Normally when we hear a child whisper, “he’s coming” – as done in the official trailer – we run. But there is something fascinating about Untamed that keeps luring us in.
“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,” co-showrunner and creator Mark L. Smith told Tudum.
