It seems that his days of solving crimes are not over yet! Netflix recently revived the popular Unsolved Mysteries of the series, the release of the six episodes of the cases of UFO sightings, family tragedies, and unexplained disappearances. But if you’re like us and you’ve already binge watched all six episodes, don’t worry because there are more on the way. However, you’re going to have to wait a while. In an interview with the Decisive game, a rep for the show revealed that the first season consists of a total of 12 episodes. The first six were released in July, and the remaining six will fall at the end of this year, although no release date has been announced yet.
Now you’re probably wondering if a season two is in the cards, right? Well, we’re still not completely safe. Although there has not been an official confirmation, there is a serious interest. “I hope that we will be chatting with Netflix about a second season, but we have not yet,” cocreater Terry Dunn Meurer said Entertainment Weekly. “We already have some cases in mind if we do! We have a database of hundreds of stories that have come to us through the years. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unsolved mysteries out there that we would like to be able to get exposure to all of them. It is so rewarding when we are able to bring the people close and it is our desire to do so for most of them. That’s the dream.”
The original Unsolved Mysteries it was organized by the late Robert Stack, and when asked if the show add a host if it has a second season, Meurer said she didn’t think so. “I think that we’ve thought about this a lot and it was a difficult decision to make. At this point, we feel as if the decision was the right one. There is No one that could really replace Bob,” she said. “The other part of the decision was the wish of the people whose stories he was talking to tell their own stories. With this decision, we are able to spend more time with the people in the stories, the development of them as characters, so that the public can get to know them better. This is something we were never able to do before in the original episodes. There are a lot of story content to cover, and we never had enough time to spend with the characters in the stories.”
If Unsolved Mysteries does score a renewal, you would not expect any update of the episodes, either. “We would like to [have update episodes] but it is somewhat more complicated in the streaming platform,” Meurer explained. “I guess maybe it could lead to an extra [episode]? But we are assuming that with social media if there is a significant update in any of these cases, it is likely to be pushed out faster than there are. If something happens, it will happen very quickly if there is a great news, because in a case is solved.” Here with the hope of getting a second season!!!
