Though NBC’s Persons Unknown is presented as a mini-series, executive producer Remi Aubuchon has said that they’d like to do another season with a new mystery. Unfortunately, with ratings like the show’s been getting, that’s almost surely not going to happen on NBC.
What can you do? Remember, the ideal scenario for NBC is for many millions of people to watch the show on their television sets, while it’s being broadcast. Unfortunately, ratings are put together based on a sampling of viewers. If you’re a “Nielsen household,” your viewing is being counted. If not, it’s not.
However, if you like Persons Unknown and want to see it continue, there are a few things you can do to help.
- If you’re a Nielsen family, watch the show whenever it’s on. If not, watch it on NBC.com or purchase episodes online so your viewing will be directly counted. Encourage others to watch the show. You might know a Nielsen family and not be aware of it.
- Talk about the show with others; at school, at work, online, or wherever. Creating a buzz about a show that you’re invested in gets other people interested and might help bring former viewers back.
- Sign the petition below and encourage others to do the same.
- Order/purchase Persons Unknown: Season One
on DVD.
- Write to the network. Be respectful. Everyone responds better to courtesy. Tell them how much you enjoy the show, that you’ve signed the petition, and that you want to see it continue. You can use this form or, even better, write via snail-mail to: Mr. Jeff Gaspin, Chairman, NBC, 3000 W. Alameda, Burbank, CA 91523, RE: Persons Unknown
- Take note of the products that are advertised during the show. Write the advertisers and tell them that you appreciate their sponsoring the show and that you buy their products (if you do).
To NBC and Fox Television Studios:
We, the undersigned, enjoy watching Persons Unknown on the NBC network. The tone of the show is great — just the right mixture of mystery and scariness. We enjoy the acting and storylines that keep us in our seats each week.
Please find a way to keep Persons Unknown on the air. We are devoted viewers who will continue to watch the program, encourage others to do the same, and will support the series’ advertisers as well. Please keep it going, either on NBC or, if necessary, on another NBC-related channel.
Thank you for your consideration.

Persons unknown should definitely be renewed. Yes it has been 7 yrs, but I believe it would do well and have an audience. I just finished watching it on Netflix and enjoyed it very much, but was greatly disappointed that there was only 1 season, especially considering that it ended with Janet and the others reaching level 2

Please renew! I finished watching it on Netflix and was upset when there was only one season! I want more !!!
Country: United States2016-11-15 13:48:06
Renew the show...It bothers the audience when a show they are watching gets cancelled, especially after just one season when you leave it on a cliffhanger. That's just bad business.

I loved the show so much. I started to watch it on Netflix. I have so many questions about who? How? What about Joe and Janet???
Country: United States2016-09-11 01:24:17
Desperately need a 2nd season... There were too many unanswered questions plus season 1 ended with a major cliffhanger that must be addressed. I know its been 6 years but better late than never if you ask me!

Great series! Please continue!
Country: USA2016-08-22 23:16:16
Persons Unknown is such an amazing series and I would greatly appreciate it if it would be continued. I know on a lot of sites it says that the producers answered all the questions on season one, but I honestly don't feel they did. I mean who is keeping them hostage and why? How did they really end up there? To me those are big questions that never got answered.
Country: USA 2016-08-20 15:01:28
Look I know I might be six years late to the game but I love this show and it has so much potential to be even better. there were so many questions unanswered and I'm so lost I just don't understand how you could've ended the TV series at this point. even Jericho an older TV series decided to end it on a good note or at least answered- please please bring back persons unknown we all need answers.

I got hooked on this show immediately! I was bummed when there was only 1 season. I really would love to see this show continue! The ending was so mind tricking, it would be torture to not see what happens next!

I was on Netflix and I finished most of my go-to shows. I love watching crime shows so I came across this show. I instantly got into it and wanted to keep watching. I loved it so much I finished the first season in 2 days. Now most of my other shows I wish I could have a say in there being a season 2 for them. So I'm here to say I hope to see season 2 airing soon. Thank you

Country: United States2016-08-14 08:29:38
It was such a great show and there is so much more to be told! What happens on level 2? Does Renbe and Joe both survive or kill eachother off? The audience needs these answers!

I just found out about this show on netflix because I don't own a TV and I really like the show and you can't end a TV series with a next level without making a second season. I would really like to see more if possible.
