Deadline has revealed that Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) and Rosemarie DeWitt (The Boys) are set to join Eric Bana in Netflix’s limited series Untamed.
Untamed is described as a mystery thriller following “Kyle Turner (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.”
Neill will play Paul Souter, “the chief park ranger in Yosemite for half his life. He’s a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend to Turner. He’s comfortable in all facets of his job, whether it’s dealing with crime inside the park or with the bureaucracy around it.”
DeWitt will play Turner’s ex-wife Jill Bodwin, “a former teacher and park counselor, who remarried a few years after their divorce. Despite the fracturing of their marriage, Jill and Turner maintain a strong bond, held together by events from their past.”
Untamed is written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, where they will serve as showrunners and executive producers. Bana will also executive produce alongside John Wells and Erin Jontow for John Wells Productions. Warner Bros. and Netflix are overseeing production.
