Netflix has officially announced a last-minute change to the highly anticipated Season 2 of Untamed, sending shockwaves through its global fanbase. The release date — originally slated for early September — has now been pushed back by six weeks, with the premiere rescheduled for October 27, 2025.

Key Cast Departures and New Faces

[Actor Name Redacted], who played one of the series’ most beloved characters, will not return due to “creative direction differences.”

“We waited years for this and now they’re replacing half the cast?!”

Netflix’s Official Reason
