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?
Really enjoyed the series and would love to see more.
Yes, I would really like to see a second season of Persons Unknown.
Yes season 2!!!!
Please do season two I feel like it’s unfinished. There are still so many questions and I’m tired of falling in love with a show and if people do not watch it quick enough they cancel. Sometimes we forget how many options there are on T.V, I Absolutely love this show and feel with another season people who have not seen it will begin to watch. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL WE WANT SEASON TWO !!!!!
Bring back Persons Unknown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEED another season! Don’t let it end like this! I want to know what happens!
Sooo….I just watched the entire first season in a matter of days. I must have more!
but really make a second season and besides it would be stupid if the season ended that way and you never know what happend to jannette or joe. but really you guys need to make season 2 trust me because if you dont i would say you guys are morons to not make a good ending.
I thought it was very well done. The mysterious nature of the show permeated through and through. We did not want it to be over. A second season could definitely work and we hereby request it to be. Even if you don’t ….you guys rock.
Yes! I was sad when Lost was over until I found Persons Unknown. Please give us a 2nd season!
I was browsing Netflix and looking for something fun to watch, came across these episodes, and absolutely ADORED them. I even got a bunch of my friends really into it, too! PLEASE CONTINUE WITH ANOTHER SEASON!! But don’t move to other people, keep it focused on Janet. And include Joe, too!!!! Love. This. Show.
