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 loved this show and I am very disapointed that you are considering not finishing the
series with some questions still unanswered. I was really upset with the ending because
you still don’t have a end yet. Please really think about trying one more time because with some of the responses it appears alot of people watched it on netflix. If you try again you know all the people who watched weekly and now all the netflix people that are hooked we need more!!!

I loved the series! I watched it all on netflixs in a few days and now I’m getting my boyfriend hooked on it. I would love to see a second season especially to see what the level 2 is going to be like and what the tension is going to be between Joe and janets ex-husband who is with him in the town. There were a few questions left unanswered like what is the program trying to achieve with all the towns and how do they pick the people that go into the town? I would love to see this… Read more »

Just finished season 1 on Netflix. Yes they did give some closure but i’d be very happy if they would continue with the Level 2 group. We know Joe gets his old role as acting like a Level 1, but i want to see what Level 2 is like.
