While Untamed is set in California, production took place much farther north — in the wilderness of British Columbia, per the Los Angeles Times. Co-showrunner Elle Smith credited Bana’s passion for the outdoors with helping the cast and crew push through the challenging shoot.

The actor stars alongside Sam Neill and Rosemarie DeWitt as a prickly investigator in a series set in the national park, where the beautiful wilderness plays host to ugly crimes.

In his latest project, Netflix’s thriller series, “Untamed,” he stars as Kyle Turner, a horse riding special agent for the National Park Service investigating the death of woman who dies after falling off of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.
