Unsolved Mysteries is finally back with its third go-round. The best news is that this time around they have peppered in tales of the supernatural and the extraterrestrial. The start of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries began with a focus on real crimes. Viewers however missed the Robert Stack days that were a hodgepodge of both true crimes and the supernatural. I’m happy to see that Netflix has fixed that and has taken it back to the show’s roots.
Unsolved Mysteries description goes like this:
The iconic and gripping series returns with a three-week event featuring more unexplained deaths, baffling disappearances, and bizarre paranormal activity. Unsolved Mysteries Vol 3is from the creators of the original docuseries, Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, and 21 Laps Entertainment, the producers of Stranger Things.
The series begins on October 18. Follow-up episodes drop the following two weeks on October 25 and November 1.
