The fandom is in absolute shock after the latest The Untamed Season 2 trailer dropped — featuring a scene so graphic that many are questioning if it will even survive until the official release. It lasts only a few seconds, but for some fans, it was enough to make them hit rewind just to confirm what they had seen.
“I thought this was a romantic fantasy series — suddenly it turned into a medieval horror movie,” one stunned viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The Scene That Shook the Fandom
In the two-minute trailer, there’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment: the main character delivers a brutal sword strike straight into an enemy’s chest, blood spraying vividly across the snow. The camera doesn’t shy away — instead, it follows every movement in unflinching detail, making the scene feel shockingly real.
Hours after the trailer went live, it mysteriously vanished from several streaming platforms in Asia without explanation, sparking rumors that Netflix is considering cutting the scene entirely before the series drops.
Insider Speaks Out
A self-proclaimed crew insider told an entertainment blog that this moment had already been a point of contention during post-production:
“Some people wanted to tone it down or desaturate the blood, but the director insisted on keeping it exactly as shot — they felt it was essential to the character’s emotional arc.”
Fanbase Divided
Supporters argue that the violent moment is an artistic choice that breaks the “safe romance” stereotype of the series. Critics, however, are calling it gratuitous and inappropriate for the younger viewers who make up a huge portion of Untamed’s fanbase.
Some are even floating conspiracy theories that the inclusion of such a shocking scene in the trailer was a calculated PR move — intentionally designed to stir controversy and drive hype before release.
Will Netflix cave to pressure and cut the scene for a safer rating, or will they stand firm and weather the storm? One thing is clear — Season 2 hasn’t even premiered yet, but it’s already making waves that can’t be ignored.
