Eric Bana portrays Kyle Turner – a National Parks Service agent investigating a grisly death in the Yosemite National Park wilderness.

It marks the 56-year-old’s first series since appearing in 2019 true crime anthology Dirty John.

Joining Eric is Hollywood legend Sam Neill, 77, known worldwide for his role in Jurassic Park.

Rounding out the cast are Rosemarie DeWitt, Wilson Bethel and Lily Santiago.

As for Eric, the Australian actor’s recent film roles include A Sacrifice, Memoir of a Snail and Apex.

Some of his most well-known films include Black Hawk Down, Troy and The Time Traveller’s Wife.

In Dirty John, Eric played the title character John Meehan – a charismatic, manipulative con man.

The series is based on the true story of con artist John Meehan who was a serial manipulator of women and the subject of a podcast and a TV series both named Dirty John.

Meehan was known for swindling money from people and sleeping with many women, lying about almost every aspect of his life.

In 2017 Christopher Goddard, an investigative journalist, spent a year creating a podcast about the conman John Meehan.


The renowned podcast was made into a TV series on American channel Bravo in late 2018 and continued into a second series with a new cast.

It tells the same story as the podcast, but as a scripted drama.

The first series also starred Connie Britton as Debra Newell as well as Julia Garner and Juno Temple as Debra’s two daughters.

Untamed will be released on Netflix on July 17.
