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?
Yes, yes, we need a season two !! Also so many question have not been answered.

if they were not going to do a season 2 they should have answered everything and let them get away
There has to be a season 2. NBC should promote the show by releasing Persons Unknown at a relatively cheap price to hook more viewers, and then put all efforts into promoting the second season. The only worry, besides the terrible viewing, however, is the fact that people may be turned off by the thought that it may be ongoing (like a 3rd level, 4th level, and so on). I was so sure that I knew what would happen, but nothing came of my suspicion. Renbe’s boss and the ambassador was a HUGE loose end let alone the fact that… Read more »
Are you kidding me? They didn’t leave us with the answers. I was not satisified, if anything, I was more confused at the end than I was in the beginning. I really liked the show though. I hope they do a second season!
I’ve just finished and I’m a sad (or bitter) to learn that it will probably be the only season!
I really really love to watch at Persons Unknown this summer! Even if my siblings and I have sometimes our French subtitles few days late 🙂
