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?
Definitely there should be a season 2…. please let it continue.. the story is awsome
You definitely should make season 2 of Persons Unknown. You added a lot of new clues which may be continuated!
PS> Sorry for my English! I’m from Poland, and we are watching Persons Unknown in Poland also!
I want and need a second season. The ending was not satisfying, it left me with wanting more. There has to be a season 2
You can’t just leave us on a cliffhanger.. it just wouldn’t be right- there are still a LOT of people that want 2 see it, although not in contrast to others that don’t
So what does it take to let NBC know that this is a show worth continuing? So much trash gets picked up by the networks for additional seasons because there is, unfortunately, a market for mind-numbingly stupid television. It is a shame when an intelligent mystery gets tossed because the general populace is not smart enough to watch it. Although the writers answered some questions by the last show of the (season – I hope), they left us with many more. Like Chandler wrote, it seemed more like a “cliffhanger” than a series finale. We want more!
please please another season i need to know what level 2 is, so many more questions
I would absolutely watch a second season. The first season didn’t get good until the end. I am ready for the good stuff now…I just hope it’s coming down the line.
its a great series, a bit different..better…interesting …..if NBS want more viewers or interest for the public they should advartize it more…..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEASON 2! my boyfriend and I adore this series! I think its even better then LOST. It makes more sense anyway, and the plot is so good. I have to know what happens with Joe and Mark Cooper/Renbe! Too many unanswered questions!
More Persons Unknown please
love the show… we want to see more!!!
My boyfriend and I watched every episode and it was the only TV show that we watched religiously over the summer. We just have to know what happens to everyone. How did they get Janet again? What happens to Kat and the ambassador in the cages? Since Mark knows about Joe what will happen in that town? There just has to be a second season! Pretty please!
there should be another season, it felt like a cliffhanger! if it is continued in anyway, i will definitely watch it!!
Oh PLEASE make SEASON 2 of persons unknown. I think once the second season begins, the show will become more popular. I love it please make more.
i really want to see a second season, this show was great and the ending made me wantin more, please give me a second season, i have to know what happens
