It was the final five minutes that left fans reeling. After eight gripping episodes of Untamed, Netflix’s dark psychological thriller set in the wilderness of Yosemite, audiences thought they had it all figured out — until that ending flipped the entire story on its head. Now, star Eric Bana is finally breaking his silence… and what he reveals is sending shockwaves through the fanbase.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Now, Bana called the final twist “an emotional sucker punch” and admitted even he didn’t fully grasp its implications until after filming wrapped.
“It’s one of those endings that makes you question everything you thought you knew about the characters,” Bana said. “The clues were there from the very beginning. You just didn’t realize what you were looking at.”
A Twist No One Saw Coming
For those still recovering from the finale, here’s a quick refresher — without major spoilers. The show follows Jack Morrigan (played by Bana), a reclusive former ranger drawn back into a chilling investigation involving missing hikers, government secrets, and a community hiding more than it shows. Just when viewers thought justice had been served, the series drops a final revelation that suggests a very different truth — and potentially, a new threat.
Social media exploded after the finale aired. Fans posted stunned reactions, with one user writing:
“I thought I understood the whole show — then those last five minutes just shattered everything. I need therapy.”
Another added:
“This is the kind of twist that makes you want to rewatch the entire season immediately.”
What Eric Bana Just Revealed
While Bana didn’t give away every answer, he did confirm what many fans suspected — that the twist wasn’t an afterthought, but baked into the script from day one.
“You think you’re watching a survival drama,” he explained, “but it’s actually a layered mystery about identity, guilt, and truth. The finale reframes everything. And what’s even wilder? It opens the door for more.”
When asked about the possibility of a second season, Bana played coy, but hinted that there’s “definitely more story to tell.” He added that the writers “left the door open” — and given the buzz surrounding the ending, Netflix may be quick to greenlight a follow-up.
Why the Ending Changes Everything
Without spoiling too much, the ending forces viewers to reevaluate every character’s motive — especially Jack’s. Suddenly, what seemed like noble decisions may have darker undertones. Was Jack the hero… or something else entirely?
One of the show’s writers, speaking anonymously, revealed:
“There are at least five key scenes throughout the season that mean something completely different once you know the ending. It’s all been hiding in plain sight.”
Fans have already begun dissecting those scenes, with Reddit threads and TikTok breakdowns blowing up in recent days. Conspiracy theories, alternate timelines, and fan theories are taking over the discourse — and it seems nobody is quite sure what’s real anymore.
What’s Next?
As Untamed continues to dominate the Netflix Top 10, fans are begging for answers. Will there be a Season 2? Will the final shot get the resolution it deserves? And was the real villain hiding in plain sight all along?
Eric Bana leaves us with just one hint:
“Watch it again. There’s more truth in that ending than you think. But only if you’re paying attention.”
Untamed is now streaming on Netflix. But be warned: the ending may just change everything you thought you knew.
