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 really love to see another season. enjoyed the mystery.
Well it seems they get a bunch of good shows going put alot of work into them and get your interest up and poof they are dropped w/o warning … come on people lets get this show “Person’s Unknown ” Back ! It was a good mystery just speed up the suspense and add more action, less pity parties … we need shows like this that keep your brain functioning… I am all for a second season/mini season/mini series what ever u want to call it :)…. Yours Truly … and waiting patiently for an answer… Dawn Painter
Amazing show!!!… NBC don’t cancel the show. It was one of my favorites as well as many others. Keep it going
I love this persons. If it goes on for another season I will be so glad. They can answer questions and make it just as good as the first season. It is my favorite show.
I hope there’s a second season. I’ve been hooked since episode 1! It probably would have had more viewers if NBC hadn’t kept changing the day the show was on, I got so confused and couldn’t find it anymore so I watched them all online. I just finished season 1 like 2 minutes ago and I’m wanting more.
man this show was amazing..it just building both the story and the characters, please make another season!!!! can’t wait. too much was left unanswered!!
TV executives should show some foresite and adapt to the new way that people are able to view TV shows. I just watched the first season on Netflix and loved it! I would watch it on NBC (yes, with commercials) if it were made available. NEWSFLASH: PEOPLE WILL WATCH SHOWS WITH PREVIOUSLY POOR RATINGS AFTER VIEWING THEM ON NETFLIX.
Why Would you start a show and only leave it on for one season that dont make any since…This Show Is Awesome….And Apparently Other PPl Share My Oppion…..I Hope To See Season 2.
Absolutely, this is one of the best series I have watched by far!!! I don’t really get into series, but this is gripping and suspenseful! Please, don’t discontinue the show.
I am waiting want to see a season 2 so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this show. please dontancel it
c
They really should bring this show back for a 2nd season but let’s face it….. This is NBC. Not the brightest decision makers on the planet running that outfit. There isn’t much of a chance that they would take such a “big risk” by bringing back such a great show.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS SHOW…. I LOVED IT … I HATE HOW THE FIRST SEASON ENDED WITH ALL OF THEM ON A SHIP AND NEW PEOPLE IN THE HOTEL !!! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN !!
I would love to see more of this show!! they always take the good shows off the air too soon!
Level 2 is going to be intense!! C’mon season 2!!
