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 would love if Netflix would produce another season or two. Very interesting plot, some of the actors were so, so…but I would like to know more about where this was going.
if not on tv channels plz put all the other episodes on netflex
I found all 13 episodes on Netflix. Check it out.
I would love to see it come back. I enjoyed the 1st one alot!
Bring back the show!
Persons Unknown is an excellent mini series. I think a 2nd season would be well received. The show was “unknown” to me until I saw it on Netflix. I believe the ratings would have been better if it was promoted and run on NBC during the fall rather than the summer. In any case a Netflix season 2 would be very much appreciated!!
We need a second season. So tired of getting invested in a show that leaves you hanging with so many unanswered questions. Please bring this show back and gives us a real ending!
I am so upset that the show was cancelled! I need to see how the director and her cohorts get their just rewards. The show did not tell how these twisted people felt they were doing good. The first season did not tell what we needed to know. Please bring back the show and give us our second season! We need a real final! Closure please!
I love this show I just saw the Netflix it’s awesome I hope it comes back
I wanna see another season of persons unknown its a great show.
I think that they should have another season. I am excited to see how level 2 plays out.
Shocked u didn’t bring it back. With the right promoting u had the next “Lost.” Thank god u have some NFL games cause your station is imploding
i feel in love with persons unknow after one episode they deffinently need to keep the seasons going
I discovered the show Persons Unknown about a week ago and I have now seen all 13 episodes. It is an awesome show and it should come back for another season!!!!
My daughter and i enjoyed the show very much. I would like for the show to continue. The next level at the end looked very interesting. I wonder about it the storyline daily. It keeps me in suspence, even though it hasnt been another season, yet.
I just finished watching the 1st season, 13 episodes, on Netflix. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am most intrigued about this secret society… I would love to see it continue….please.
