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?
Would love to see more!
Yeaaah i would like to see another season, we’re expecting some answers here !!
and the picture they gave about Morroco is ABSOLUTLY WROOOONG !!
please make a 2nd season! this was a great idea for a series, even though it did get a little lost in the middle of this season ( hopefully the 1st of many ) it ended very well.
its such an original series…cant NBCs sister station SyFy pick it up? I believe theres an audience for another go round.
There better be another Dang season! And if they do have a season 2, they better answer all of the questions. Because all they kind of really did was open more doors and questions.
I would have been fine with one season if they had wrapped it up at the end. but they only raised more questions. There better be a second season now!!!
There better be a season 2!!! There are too many loose ends. What is level 2? What exactly is “The Program”? Don’t leave us hangin!!
Dear NBC,
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE run another Season of Persons Unknown. I need to know what (Level 2) is. I will donate money!
NBC said “All The questions will be answered, yet not only are there some questions still left to be answered, it brought so many new ones. Please continue the show, its the best tv show there is.
I certainly hope there is a season 2. I was hooked on this show and it’s been a long time since that has happened.
Really hoping for a second season!!! Really captured my interest!!
The end was substantial enough for viewers to ask for a 2nd season I guess though, but who knows………………… Producers these days have a thing for cancelling shows 🙁
Please don’t leave us hanging!!! We need a second season!!!!
There better be a second season! haha i will be so upset if there isnt!
My husband and I really got into this show and would LOVE to see a 2nd season!!
