NBC has been promoting Persons Unknown as a mini-series and that the show’s mysteries will be answered by the end. The show has not performed well in the ratings so hopefully the network will let all 13 episodes air.
If they do pull the series early, the show is scheduled to be put out on DVD. According to Amazon, it’s scheduled for an August 31st release but that’s likely to change because NBC won’t have aired all of the episodes until early September.
Some readers have noticed that the DVD set is titled Persons Unknown: The Complete First Season
Executive Producer Remi Aubuchon recently told Collider that, when they were shooting it, they did so believing it would be an on-going series. Though they wanted it to go on, he made sure that they answered all of the questions by the end of the first season, to make it a satisfying story for viewers.
Could there be another season? Aubuchon said, “It’s not unheard of, in the course of life, that if there’s enough interest in it, we could consider going a second season or doing another chapter. I keep looking at it as books in a series, and this season is the first book. I feel confident that we will have a beginning, middle and end, in this season, and it was wise of NBC to then call it what it really is, which is a mini-series.”
He continued, “24 is a really good example, in that there was a definitive beginning, middle and end for the first season. They had a slightly different format than we have, but the second season just retained Jack Bauer and a few other players, with the same basic format and idea, but it was a completely different show. I’m not saying that that’s exactly where we’re going, but certainly I think that there’s room for saying, ‘Hey, look, we told one story of a continuing saga.’ You should be able to pick this book up and get to the last line of the season and go, ‘Wow! Well, I hope there’s a second season, but at least I feel satisfied that I got to see all of this. They answered it all for me.”
Unfortunately, it looks unlikely that NBC would be interested in another season but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t return on another channel or in another form.
What do you think? Would you like to see Persons Unknown continue in some way?
There has to be a season two.. It’s one of the best shows I seen!!!! SEASON 2! SEASON 2! SEASON 2!
Ok.. I feel cheated and lied to. Watched the show expecting a conclusion but just caused more questions–what exactly is the program, what happened after the van crash, what’s with Blackmun knowing Charlie’s wires name? This finale,….and I say that loosely, pissed me off. Im pretty sure I wouldn’t watch a 2nd season cause I don’t care anymore!
I sure would like there to be a second season now that I am hooked
I love this show, bring on Season 2
ok…so after watching the finale…I really want a second season….I still feel like there are way too many questions unanswered…..I really hope that there is a second season!!
Definitely hoping for a second season….can’t leave it like it was left!
SEASON 2!! YES!!!
I would really like it if there was a season 2…
Because the season finale didn’t end the way I thought it would end…so I really hope they have a season 2 !!!
yes please give it another season. one of the best series out there. the storyline is so solid and could possibly carry with it anpother season or two
2nd season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persons did start out slow but wound up being very good. There HAS to be a second season. I don’t know why the creators think they’ve answered any questions. And did anyone catch the name on the side of the boat at the end? It was spanish for “lost souls.” What was that about? There has to be a season two!
There must be another season “at least” !!!! Very cool series.. Great story and nice actors. THIS MUST CONTINUE
Well, after seeing the finale I can’t help but feel that there MUST a second season in the works. Quite frankly, I’ll feel rather let down if they aired the finale in the form it did as a way to conclude the series. There are still many valid, unanwesered questions (heck, the finale posed NEW ones), so while it was quite a rollercoaster ride, it really doesn’t qualify as an “end” to me, not even an open one. I hope that NBC and the creators aren’t going to leave us hanging here.
I need season 2!
I want the second season!
