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?
Great season. Please continue. Better than Lost.
I love Season !, please please continue with Season 2!!
Definately don’t leave us hanging! We want another season at least!
I just watched the entire “1st season” on Netflix. I couldn’t wait to get home from work and be able to watch another episode! I certainly hope there is another season. They did a good job of setting it up for another season.
We both think this is the best TV Show. After Lost was done we have a void we needed to fill, and Persons Unkown was just the best choice.
We are waitiing for season 2……….
yas i hope watch season tow and great show 5 stars fast please
Please make season two!!!****** great show!!!
ummm yeah!! it leaves me def wanting the 2nd season..I totally love it!!
this show is sooooo goood! im dying for another season.
hell yeah!!! make another season!!! pleeeeeeeease!!
Would very much like to see a season 2. The acting was really well done and story line diiferent than most things on TV. It is not just another crime show which is nice.
This is one the best series ever, the suspense keeps you on toes, always wanting to know whats gonna happen next. it would be a wise idea to continue.
serie abbastanza originale che complessivamente riesce a coinvolgerti,certo la curiosità per quello che accadrà nel secondo livello è forte, spero facciano una seconda serie non troppo lunga ma credo che sia doveroso se penso alla 10°a stagione di smallville(orribile) !!!!che sarebbe dovuto essere condensato in 6-max 7 stagioni, il resto è spazzatura!ed alle altre serie troppo prolisse come buffy,e streghe (charmed)ecc ecc unknow persons merita un’altra chance.
Super irritating that they only did 1 season!! I watched the first half on reg TV, then discovered I could watch it online & watched it that way. I don’t care how I’d have to watch season 2, I just want more!!!! Bring on season 2!!! & 3 & 4… & more 🙂 This show is addicting I can’t stand not knowing what happens next!
I think this is one of the best tv shows that I have ever seen. I really hope that they make a Season 2
