US EditionNetflix’s New Mystery Thriller Series Is One of the Best Binge-Watches of 2025 so Far — and You Can Stream It Now
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – Eric Bana stars as a special agent investigating a suspicious death in Yosemite, where over 730 search and rescue incidents occurred between 2018 and 2020, highlighting the park's dangers.
- Netflix released the limited series Untamed in July 2025, starring Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, an investigator in Yosemite National Park.
- The series draws loosely from the true story of Cary Stayner, who confessed in 2002 to murdering four women in Yosemite, but Untamed is fully fictional.
- Untamed begins with the death of a young woman falling off El Capitan, initiating an investigation that uncovers deeper mysteries linked to Turner's troubled past.
- El Capitan has seen over 30 climbing deaths since 1905, including 7 in the last decade, and Yosemite reported more than 730 search and rescue incidents between 2018 and 2020.
- While Untamed receives praise for its solid investigation and lead performance, it relies on familiar genre elements and highlights ongoing concerns about national park staffing and safety.
