If you’re looking for a new series to watch on Netflix this weekend, I’d highly recommend Untamed. With its cast led by Eric Bana (Troy), it follows a federal agent who is sent to solve the mystery of a woman’s death in a lawless national park. Over six nail-biting episodes, we learn the truth about the woman in question, who she is and who else gets caught up in the chaos with some serious repercussions.
Out of everything new on Netflix in July 2025, this story might just be the most predictable. However, don’t write that off as a bad thing. With so many metaphorical plates spinning at any given time, being able to appreciate details in the moment is exactly what you want when the tough gets going (well, it does for Bana, not for us).
There’s an additional win in Untamed’s approach, too. If I’m being honest, the mysterious murder at its core is the least interesting thing about what’s happening on screen. In the opening scenes alone, one of my childhood dreams has been brought perfectly to life, and now I can relive the magic anytime I want to… and so can you.
