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?
PLEASE MAKE A SECOND SEASON OF PERSONS UNKNOWN!!!!
the first seasnon was really good, i feel most of the questions were answered but i still have so many more . I feel that they should contine on into a second season because i wold lik to know what happens in the end espically since in the first level there is now a twist with a guest who has been researching to find out what hapened to his wife. So yes i think the second season would be great because i feel it would be more entertaing than the first one because of Mr.Cooper knowing a little about whats… Read more »
i think they should make another season of the show can’t wait to see it
We need another season bad! This is one of the best shows out there, that actually caught my attention and I finished the whole first season in just a couple of days cause it was so great! I really hope they come out with a season 2, because this may be my favorite TV show now!
I NEED A SEASON 2! i cried at the end of the last episode of season 1. i love this show so much. i don’t understand how it wasn’t getting good reviews. PLEASE NBC give us more persons unknown!!!!
Ditto Vick – bring on season 2!!
i want a season two !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks (:
I realise that American TV Station have their own way of thinking. Not only NBC, but also ABC (and I don’t know how many more stations) had started some very interesting shows, they had aired them and put so many people to watch them, and suddenly they have decided to postpone or cancel them.
I do not understand this odd and bizzare behaviour.
I have been waiting file the second season!! I didn’t realize there wad talk to not continue ;(
Hi there from Europe!
I just finished a few minuts ago the first season, and looking forward to know when would I see the second one, I discovered there was no 2nd season going on?!!?!?
WTF?
How can’t this serie perform well in the ratings??
Please fellow American friends put them under pressure! 😀
Greetings!
I would love to see this series continue. Great show.
Persons unknown was AWESOME!!! I loved it and would totally enjoy another season. I have never watched a show quite like it. Season one didn’t give me all the answers needed and is more than open for more.
Level 2, Charlotte, people hostage in cages, Joe left with new people including Jannets husband, Tori as manager…….
Season Two could explain everything.
Ditto to all that support for another season!! 🙂
I feel as if all of my questions werent answered. In fact more have been brought up. Yes many things have been explained, but while they were being explained more questions came up. I would love to see a second season, the show is awesome and keeps me glued to my tv. I watched the whole season in a couple of days. I hope to see another season, and more, this story line is one of a kind. Conspiracys are always good!!
Hey there, in my complete and honest opinion I would absolutely LOVE to see a season two. This series had not only me but my whole family and many of my friends glued to the tv. As someone stated above there are many areas where the directors could expand on. One for instance is Blackhem’s true identity and how he knew Charlie’s wife’s name. I feel as if many people enjoy watching this show on netflix and if a season two came out the. The ratings would be MUCH higher than the first season’s. I know that I’m stirring up… Read more »
