If you’ve just finished watching Netflix’s latest drama murder mystery series, Untamed, and you’re wondering who the actress who plays the Jane Doe is, you’re not alone.
The memorable newcomer is Canadian singer-songwriter Ezra Franky. Untamed – which also stars Eric Bana and Lily Santiago – premiered on Netflix last Thursday, with ScreenRant calling it “one of a handful of perfect shows to binge-watch in just one weekend”.
The series centres on Eric Bana’s character, Kyle Turner, a National Park Service agent investigating the brutal death of a Jane Doe in Yosemite National Park – spoiler ahead. Later in the six-part series we discover the Jane Doe’s identity to be that of Lucy Cook, a young woman who went missing in the park in 2012.
Here’s everything to know about Untamed’s Jane Doe, Ezra Franky.
