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?

Loved it…….would definately love to see more of it!
Totally awesome show.. It should definately have more seasons!!!!
just watch the season on Netflix.once I started watching I couldn’t stop. I am definitely ready for season two.
I am ready for Level 2 (season 2)
oui ,contibnuer. C’est fantastique. Vous devriez essayer avec SyFy…..
MORE PLEASE! You gotta give us something to watch over the summer! Besides, we want to know where their going on this boat and the second level!
Just watched the season on Netflix. Had never heard of it prior to now, and am hooked in all senses of the term by the season finale’s “cliffhanger”. Anxious to see the events of Level 2!!! 😉
Yes we would love to see it unfortunately we did not follow the epsiodes as they aired but did dvr it all and finished watching the whole series in two seatings…It has pulled us in and we hope that it will continue…since we are not big box office goers but spend all our time watching our dvr when nothing else is available except reruns.
Thanks…Good luck we hope to see it this fall.
Yes! I discovered it late because On Demand didn’t have the first episode. Thank you Netflix. Please bring Persons Unknown back for season 2.
please bring person’s unknown back. or finalize it so that we know who is behind the kidnapping of the persons and why janet’s mother is involved. please do a final episode if you choose not to bring back the show.
I love this show. I think there is a real potential to develop the story in fascinating plot twist, character development and more. I sincerely hope that a second season is in the works. If this show were to be adopted by a large network, the ratings would increase. The more exposure the show has, the wider the audience will become – this show would provide a wide appeal. I think Persons Unknown could be more successful than lost…by a LONG shot.
PLEASE!! More!!!
Please bring “Persons Unknown” back. We really liked it and want to see more.
And please don’t share my email address.
YES Yes Yes keep it going. It’s a great show.
