Huge Netflix Hype Leaves World In Awe; This Miniseries Is Already Number 1 In 81 Countries!
The series 'Untamed' is currently dominating Netflix globally, showcasing exceptional storytelling and gripping performances.
It's not the new season of Squid Game, nor an American blockbuster. The series that is currently dominating the charts on Netflix worldwide is Untamed, recently reaching the number one spot in no less than 81 countries. Remarkably, this is likely a one-time phenomenon: a sequel season appears unlikely.
According to data from FlixPatrol, this new title has already become the most popular Netflix series in most of the countries where the platform operates. This is noteworthy, considering the series has only been available since July 17.
On July 19, Untamed appeared in the Netflix top 10 in 86 countries, holding the top spot in 81 of them. In comparison, Squid Game reached number one in 93 countries at launch. However, there seems to be no signs of delay for Untamed. Netflix doesn't have any major new releases in the coming days that could break this momentum.
Despite its success, it's highly likely there won't be a second season. The series was developed as a complete story by Mark L. Smith (co-creator of The Revenant) and his daughter Elle Smith. While Netflix has sometimes continued successful miniseries in the past, that doesn't seem to be the case here. At most, a thematically related anthology series could follow.
In Untamed, the body of a woman is found in Yosemite National Park. Ranger Kyle Turner (played by Eric Bana) investigates the case alongside young colleague Naya Vasquez. What initially seems like an accident soon evolves into a complicated criminal case. As Turner confronts traumas from his past, the atmosphere in the park deteriorates, ultimately putting his life at stake.
