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 watched the first season, and then open it to my family and wow! Please let there be a second season!
I loved the show. I would be extremely disappointed if this show is not picked up for a second season. I NEED to know what “Level2” has in store for our season one friends.
This has to be the best tv series I have ever watched,each episode keeps you asking for more and always on your toes. I would love to see a second season come out either on tv or a dvd set. Please make it happen! Thank you
PLEASE!!!!!!! Another season! I just watched the whole 1st season on Netflix, and I watched it in 2 days, I couldn’t stop watching it! PLEASE! Another season! WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!
I just loved it!!! There MUST be a season II. As somebody else said, WE WANT MORE!!!
My brother and I watched this show religiously and talked soooo much about it and what we thought was going to happen, the possibilities of what could happen, and what we wanted to happen. The end of season 1 put us so much in suspense(but was great!)… we WANT season 2!!!!
I loved the series and so does my wife. We both would love to see another season of this fantastic show. I loved the mystery of a great whom done it? I reminds me of another trilogy movies called the Cube. It also had unknown people trapped together in a cube and each cube they had to figure how to escape.
I LOOOOOOOOVE this show it would really SUCK if there isnt a season 2!!!!!!!!!!
o yea as u can tell no one has really said anything bad about this show. we all want to see more, come on nbc… WE WANT MORE!!!!!!
i am a very big fan of this tv show, i hope to god that u guys put on another season… u got me in the 1st one. if i missed the show on tv i went right to nbc web site and watched it on there, and if that was not on nbc web site i went to a movie/tvshow web site and watched it on there, i really like this show and i want to see more so PLEASE do season 2.
I would love to see a second season or a film (like Firefly) version of the second season of this show.
I’d even love to get ahold of scripts or a book. Maybe it wasn’t a show that appealed to a lot of viewers, but it may be great for the literary crowd. If there is a book version of this show I would love to know about it.
