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?
Come on!!!!! I have been waiting … everyone at work watches the show! You can’t leave us with an ending like that
Please Please Please put Persons Unknown back on! Me and my husband watched every episode and was trying to find out when it was coming back on and found that it had been cancelled! There is too many questions unanswered in the last episode to not continue!
My husband and I absolutely loved the show! I compare it to being able to surpass LOST which I also loved….cough…but the ending sucked….cough….
It has so much potential and I could see this airing on FOX…right after Fringe 🙂
Persons Unknown had the quality of suspense that many shows don’t have. PLEASE let this show return. The show is addicting!

I LOVE this show. I never had time to watch it when it was on tv since I had so much going on at the time. But if it was brought back with another season, I would make sure to watch it every time there is a new episode! I think I’ve watched it on netflix at LEAST 12 times. Plus I’ve watched the entire thing with multiple friends and family members and got them all hooked <3 Please decide to return. Don't make me send out a petition :b
