Last night, NBC aired the final two episodes of their mystery-thriller series, Persons Unknown. The show revolves around a group of people who wake up in a small town and must figure out how to survive and escape. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Lee Purcell, Jason Wiles, Andy Greenfield, Daisy Betts, Tina Holmes, Alan Ruck, Kate Lang Johnson, Sean O’Bryan, and Gerald Kyd.
NBC waited until summer to air Persons Unknown; a time when fewer people watch television and their isn’t much competition. On Monday nights, it got very poor ratings, even for a summer show, and was consequently sent to the TV graveyard known as Saturday nights.
Remi Aubuchon, one of the show’s executive producers, has said that the show was originally envisioned to have self-contained seasons but could easily run for multiple years. Based on the ratings and their treatment of the series, it is highly unlikely that NBC will bring Persons Unknown back for a second season.
What do you think? In all likelihood, last night’s installment is the final episode. What do you think of the Persons Unknown finale? Were enough questions answered in “Shadows in the Cave” to satisfy you?

No, almost none of my questions were answered in the series finale and one of the episodes didn’t air at all. Please please please bring this show back! So many questions were left unanswered. A miniseries would have been acceptable had the show done what its promotions promised — revealed all by the end of the summer. I am addicted to this show and feel cheated without a second seasion. I hope it continues. Otherwise, why did I waste my time on the first series?
Help! Where are the answers?
Bunch of liars…..no “answers”. I guess the writer were too stupid to tie up the loose ends.
Well, they kept me watching, and they gave some answers/hints of answers.
Maybe a cable network will pick it up. I’d watch.
Loved the twist with how they escaped but all questions answered? Not even close. This could be a great series and I hope they bring it back for a second season so we can perhaps get the answers that were promised. We got nothing but more questions.
I think alot of people are fed up with NBC messing with peoples heads. The thought has occured to me that they may even pull this kinda thing on purpose. Start a show, move it around, end it w/o answers…just to piss people off. Hey, they still got people talking about the show…and THEM. I love Chuck, but I just refuse to watch NBC anymore. Like the premise of Persons Unknown, NBC is just messing with our heads…they’re pulling the strings, calling the shots, and we’re the pawns. Not me. Not anymore.
I was torn at the end. I wanted answers but got questions. It WAS like a Lost episode in that respect. I’m mad because I wasted time watching & following a show the producers don’t care about. As a result, there probably be no season 2…wihch is a shame. Was a good show…although was little far fetched. Characters were good. As well as acting for the most part. A shame they never gave it a chance…Loved this show!
yep, they lied to us… all will be revealed? where? Level 2 could be fantastic, but its the suits that control programs like this, too bloody caught up in their profit margins!!!! Whatever happened to “cult” entertainment? This new level could be fantastic, but what do I know, I’m just THE CONSUMER! ( BUNCH OF IDIOT SUITS SAT AROUND A DESK!)
I actually think the ending was ok only and only if they bring it back for another season like I really hope they will. I would like to see what happens with everyone on the ship. Will they be as successful with excaping as they were the last time.
**** . LOST OF MY PRECIOUS TIME
All questions answered?…. BULL CRAP! Lousy ending unless the show continues! Just plain lazy writing!
Could not agree more.
That ending was worse that Lost’s last episode. It answered nothing. Stupid summer filler trash.
I think the ending stank…Too many things left unanswered…
I thought the show would have been a good one if only it was given a chance…
yea i really followed the movie & it was i think one of the best series movies, i think you should continue for us so we will know what will happen @ level 2. Everyone is angry in the movie cos they taught they have escape but not knowing they were still under coverage area.. haha. i want to know what will happen next to especially the freshers.
What a horrible ending. I don’t usually watch these shows, but with the promise that all the questions will be answered, I took a chance. What a waste of time.
