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 love this show! There has to be another season. I’ve been waiting for it since the first season ended!
I hope Persons Unknown comes back. There just isn’t that much on television that my husband and I enjoy watching together. This was one of the shows that we really enjoy watching. Really getting tired of the reality tv stuff. There is just to much of it on.
I love this show, one of the best in years. Sure hope they continue it.

YES! the show was awesome and everyone wants to see more
Yeees! It´s really good….. We really want more!!!!
Yes, want to see another series, I thought the show was awesome. Not all of the questions were answered, just glazed over. Want to see more!
yes we’d watch
yes i would like to see it return
Would love to see a second season. I was a Lost fan and enjoyed Persons Unknown more. Loved the story line and got involved with the characters and the writing was superb. Very suspenseful and entertaining and something Lost fans need.
I hope this show continues- is a great action packed suspenseful, thrilling show- I agree- if it is advertised more, people would be interested and would want to watch it. Fans of Lost, Heroes, 24, and any good mystery with a focus on the humanity in it will love this show! Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!
