“Unsolved Mysteries” Creators Say New Episodes Could Be Coming Real Soon

Published

With the original episodes now available for streaming on both Amazon and Hulu, ’90s series “Unsolved Mysteries” is currently experiencing something of a renaissance. Granted, the Robert Stack-hosted series never truly left our minds, or our nightmares, but a whole new generation now has access to, as I call it, “the original nightmare fuel.”

We reported earlier this year that creators John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer were interested in reviving the series, noting during a Reddit AMA that they had been reaching out to networks in the hopes that it’d be picked up and brought back to life. Today brings an update on the potential revival, via Decider.

We are actively talking to a couple of broadcasters who have shown interest, and we’re very optimistic that we’ll have something by way of new episodes by the end of the year,” Cosgrove said in a statement to the site. “It’s too early to go into much detail, but we’ve had our research producers look into possible stories and they’ve found some excellent ones which can be ready to go quickly.”

“Unsolved Mysteries,” which premiered in 1987, used re-enactments and interviews to retell the circumstances of, well, mysteries that were (at the time) unsolved. The series covered crimes, tales of lost love, unexplained history and paranormal events.

The series was revived by Spike in 2008, hosted by Dennis Farina.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
