The new trailer for UNTAMED Season 2 has fans buzzing — not only does it confirm Eric Bana is back as the enigmatic ranger-turned-fugitive Gabe Mercer, but a leaked call sheet from the premiere hints that Kyle’s first suspect in the park’s newest murder case will stun even the most seasoned theorists.
The Return Nobody Saw Coming
Eric Bana’s Gabe Mercer was presumed dead after the Season 1 finale cliffhanger — last seen bleeding out beneath the fire tower during the storm. The trailer’s opening seconds show him stepping out of a shadowy ranger cabin, alive but visibly changed, carrying a sealed evidence bag that fans swear contains the “missing crest knife” from last season.
The Leak That Changed Everything
According to a production insider, the season opens with Kyle investigating the body found in the fire lookout tower. His first suspect isn’t a drifter, a rival ranger, or even Mercer… but a character tied directly to Kyle’s childhood, someone he’s never mentioned before on-screen.
The leaked scene description reads:
“Kyle freezes when the suspect turns around. The voice, the scar — it’s all too familiar. This is the person who taught him to survive in these woods… and the one who disappeared 17 years ago.”
Fan Theories Are Exploding
Theories range from Kyle’s long-lost sibling to a parent he believed dead. One viral TikTok claims the suspect is the original owner of the crest carved into the skull Turner found in the river caves — a connection that could tie both mysteries together.
With this kind of setup, the premiere isn’t just promising to be shocking… it might rewrite everything we thought we knew about UNTAMED.
