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! You can’t leave us without a second season!

Omg!!!!! I couldn’t wait to wake up to finish watching the remaining 5 episodes I had left to watch, I was wayyy to into. Thriller is an understatement. Please oh please find some type of way to continue another series even if its the last. I so recommended people to go on Netflix an watch .
I just finished watching this on netflix, now I’m hooked. They should continue. Give it a chance to catch on, its better than Lost.
I so loved this series, I must say that there must be a second season. The suspense is addictive!!!!!! Please bring the second season! I must Know What happen next! Big Shot out the the makers of this show! I really appreciate a show that pulls you in, and leave you wanting for more. Hopefully they don’t change the characters, but there has to be more to come!
OMG really.??

my whole family loved this program please let there be a second season 🙂
we want to see what happened next on that boat ?
My wife and I sat down and watced the Pilot on netflix yesterday. We loved it so much that we had to pull ourselves away from it several episodes later in order to get some sleep before work. As soon as we got home today we sat down and watched through the remaining episodes. We were very disapointed to discover that Persons Unknown is only one season. We would be faithful followers if NBC, or any other network, would pick it up for (an) additional season(s).

I liked it even better than Lost– and that’s saying a lot. It kept me hooked! I was mildly dissapointed when I first started watching the show and discovered there was only one season. I was even more dissapointed when I realized there was only 13 episodes in the season. I’m almost… Read more »
