Written by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, Untamed is a character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park and in his own past.

Kekumano will play Marcus Sawada, a local Hawaiian Volcanoes Park Ranger assigned to assist Turner in the murder investigation.
The Season 2 cast also includes Shea Whigham as Ray Burkart and Kelly Hu as Awapuhi.
