Season two of the mystery thriller will be set in Hawaii, as a new case brings Eric Bana‘s Kyle Turner to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
The new episodes (six, one-hour long eps) will follow “special agent Kyle Turner as he’s called to investigate a mysterious death in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where local tensions and the volatile, living landscape become an unpredictable force.”
“We’re excited to explore the pristine landscapes and cultural identity of a very different national park, and find Turner in a new state of mind, outside the comfort of Yosemite,” co-showrunners and executive producers Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith tell Tudum.
Eric is the only known returning cast member, and will likely stay that way since the new season is taking place in an all-new location.
However, Deadline revealed this week that Shea Whigham has joined the cast of season two as Ray Burkart.
The character is described as a man “who moved from California to the Big Island of Hawaii 30 years ago, and has a hand in various businesses, some more legal than others. After suffering the tragic loss of his son, Burkart clashes with Turner in their search for his son’s killer.”
