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?
bring it back i want to c what happens on the ship
Hell yeah!! a second season will be awesome!!

Is there any news about second season?
We cant be unsatisfied,plz we need a second season,the last chapters were the best!! and the end shows that will continue..
We deserve a good answer.. 🙂
pleaseee season two! we are waiting for new season
Just watched finale on DVR. All mysteries were not revealed. Very unsatisfying. Hope there is an effort to do a better job of resolving.
I love Persons Unknown!! There isn’t any tv series on like this one which makes it very unique an addicting. Plus, how can they not give us an ending? Previews for Season 2 looked awesome. I don’t care what channel aires it just as long as they continue the series or give us an ending to it. My family and I give “Persons Unknown” a 5 star rating and 2 thumbs up !! 🙂
pleeeaseeee come back
It is a show my husband & I looked forward to each month. Of course we want to see who is behind the abductions!!!
I love Persons Unknown and want to see a second season. The last I saw one group was was at the hotel and one group on a ship. There were no complete answers for me. I want more! Then there’s the reports girlfriend in the cage. Why and who took her? There are pleny of fans out there at least put it on a different channel.
Persons Unknown is an amazing show, with a great plot. Creating a second season, but using a different angle (such as level 2) would attracted millions of new viewers. I hope seasons 2 comes out soon.
yes , yes , and yes. nothing was resolved in the show. we need season two. the show captures your attention is very edgy and keeps you hanging in there and pulling for these people to get out..
I think that person Unknown is brilliant.Im currently watching it on DSTV in South Africa and we would love to see a season 2.
we r waitting for the new season
