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?
I just watched the first season of Unknown Persons on Netflix and I’d hate to see it end there. We need a 2nd season!
Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!! Took me a bit to get into it. Found it on Netflix. Now I just want more. What a great series…I hope! Please make a second season!!!
yes I would really like to see a second season. I thought it was well done. I like to be kept guessing. It also had interestingn charactors. And I want to see where it goes. Please make another season.
I really want NBC to take the opportunity at making a second season. I watched the whole first season on Netflix in ONE night. I couldnt resist watching episode after episode. The characters are great with oneanother, the plot is upsurd…I love watching things that leave you stracthing your head. This one is definately a nail bitter.
Nothing was answered. So, yes, do another season or at least a movie sheesh!
I really enjoyed the first season and would really like to see them make a second. It really has the potential to keep going although I have a feeling that it wont as I dont think that very many people watch it or dont know about it for that matter, so my suggestion to you all that have watched it and enjoyed it, please, suggest it to your friends and family to watch and maybe even go and rate it at imdb.com. Maybe if they get more positive ratings they will air another season. For all of those who dont… Read more »
WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE MORE!!!!
Are you kidding me? That was not a satisfactory ending. It was a cliff hanger and I was not left satisfied. Yes to a second season or at least a movie to end it with!
Just like the x-files, the series must be giving time for the viewers to identify w/ the development of the storyline, actors, etc. Given time the series could work!
Are the producers going to kill us?????? WHAT?? no season 2?????? COME ON!!!!
I really liked this show & very much want to see a second season. Persons Unknown is like no other show on TV.
This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and is so different from any show I’ve seen. I can’t believe it didn’t do well.It’s so suspenseful and always keeping you on your toes. I watched the first season in 3days and most of it today. If I didn’t have to work I would have watched it all in one day. I was already looking season two.. I will be really dissapointed if there isn’t another season =( Please continue!!!! Arleen
Second season please!! Great series!
I want to see the second season, otherwise we’re all left without answers.
I just watched the entire 1st season this past week and finished the last episode about 5 min ago. I ran to the computer to find out if there was a season 2 available, and cant believe im reading this. I could spend the entire weekend watching this show… lol
So mad there is no second season available!
please make a second season, I’m sick of watching bad ass shows that end after one season when it can clearly be continued
