While Untamed is set in California, production took place much farther north — in the wilderness of British Columbia, per the Los Angeles Times. Co-showrunner Elle Smith credited Bana’s passion for the outdoors with helping the cast and crew push through the challenging shoot.

While several signature landmarks of Yosemite National Park are seen throughout Untamed, the Netflix series was not filmed in California or the U.S.

Kyle Turner (Bana) is an Investigative Services Branch (ISB) special agent at Yosemite National Park. It’s a federal position that sets him apart from his park ranger compatriots, including friend and mentor Paul (Sam Neill) and sarcastic Milch (William Smillie), who has no patience for Kyle’s trademark surliness.
