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?
Plz bring on season 2
I just watched Person’s Unknown and absolutly loved it, but i’m saddened to find that there’s no season 2… Why, I cannot believe a show this good didn’t get enough rating’s. If so I don’t believe it was the series fault… I’m so wanting a season 2 so bad now… Please Netflix or some network, bring this series back!!!!!! Oh and i loved the finale, it blew me away….
just watched season 1 on Netflix would love to see a season 2
My mom and i used to sit together and watch persons unknown. We fell in love with the show and were so caught up in it. It was one of my favorite shows and then it just stopped and never came back. Me and my mom had always wondered when it would come back and looked but never found it. now i know why. Making another season would be amazing! Do it for the people who loved the show!!!!
I need to watch season 2! Please do it at least for Netflix.
This show was really good. I’ve enjoyed watching season one. please make a season two Also I think that the NBC should decide that even though there may not be thousands of people that have viewed this. I think that for the people that have watched this series, and took time to comment that there should be another series. That the NBC should take this into consideration.
This show should not been canceled It was much better than “Lost” and thats still airing I need to see another season and im not asking im demanding !!!
Omg this was a great season of persons unknown, But even though the ending was awesome I cant help but wonder what season two had instore I dont understand why it was canceled. I think that if you brought it back now it would have more ratings then it did before, Because now more people know about the series through Netflix & even if it cant air on television maybe you can make a season for Netflix. Im just very upset that it ended already So Pleaseeee Re-Think this 🙂
I agree w/ Susie and everyone else…. Please Netflix season 2!!!!!
Please film season 2 I loved season 1.
Start filming season 2, pretty please.
An extremely smart written show, it has depth and weight.
Please, please this one is a keeper!!!!!!!!
omg where is season 2 you cannot leave us hanging like that
I want a season 2!! Just finish season one on Netflix and i absolutely loved it. I want more.
I want a season 2… I was left with more questions then answers and I’m eager to know what happens and why!
I just finished watching Person’s Unknown on Netflix and I loved it, was very upset to hear it didn’t go to season 2 because it really was worth seeing another couple of seasons at least, please bring it back.
