“Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 4” Trailer – Five New Episodes Premiere July 31
More “Unsolved Mysteries” is on the way from Netflix, with five brand new mysteries set to unfold when “Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 4″ premieres Wednesday, July 31.
Netflix previews, “The iconic and gripping series returns, featuring more unexplained deaths, baffling disappearances, and bizarre paranormal activity.”
There are currently 21 episodes of the new series up for streaming on Netflix, with the episodes covering everything from murders to disappearances, hauntings, and UFO sightings.
Unsolved Mysteries is from the creators of the original docuseries, Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, and 21 Laps Entertainment, the producers of Stranger Things.
Co-creator & executive producer Terry Dunn Meurer said in a new statement, “This is our most unique volume yet. From one of the most notorious unsolved cases of all time to all-new baffling mysteries, there’s something for everyone to solve.”
Executive producer Shawn Levy adds, “Unsolved Mysteries continues to resonate with viewers in ways we could never have imagined, with some episodes leading to solving cases that were once thought unsolvable. It is a privilege to collaborate with Terry Dunn Meurer and her team on this iconic franchise, and we are so excited to share this next installment of compelling and fascinating mysteries with viewers around the world.”
“Someone, somewhere, knows the truth.” That core idea is the basis for “Unsolved Mysteries,” which began haunting viewers in 1988 with the classic Robert Stack-hosted iteration. The original series lasted 11 years, defining a genre of true crime programming and inspiring generations of amateur sleuths worldwide. The show celebrated its 35th anniversary last year.
