Netflix to release the next six episodes of Unsolved Mysteries in October

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Back in July, Netflix released the first six episodes of their revival of the series Unsolved Mysteries. Those episodes stirred up a lot of conversation, both about the mysteries they covered and how fans of the show felt of this new take on the concept, which only focuses on one mystery per episode (the original show covered multiple mysteries in every episode) and doesn't have a host. Overall, the reaction to the revival seems to have been quite positive, and there are a lot of Netflix subscribers who are anxiously looking forward to the next six episodes of the twelve episode first season.

Now Netflix has let fans know when they can expect to see more Unsolved Mysteries. The next six episodes will be available to watch through the streaming service as of October 19th.

A collaboration between the original show's production company Cosgrove-Meurer Productions and 21 Laps Entertainment, the production company that brings us Stranger Things, the new Unsolved Mysteries 

uses re-enactments in a documentary format to profile real-life mysteries and unsolved crimes, lost love, cases involving missing persons and unexplained paranormal events. 

The first six episodes of the season covered the following mysteries: 

“Mystery on the Rooftop,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
The body of newlywed Rey Rivera was found in an abandoned conference room at Baltimore’s historic Belvedere Hotel in May 2006, eight days after he mysteriously disappeared. While the Baltimore Police maintained that the 32-year-old committed suicide by jumping from the hotel’s roof, the medical examiner declared Rey’s death “unexplained.” Many, including his devastated wife, Allison, suspect foul play.

“13 Minutes,” directed by Jimmy Goldblum:
Patrice Endres, 38, mysteriously vanished from her Cumming, Georgia, hair salon in broad daylight, during a 13-minute timeframe, leaving behind her teenage son, Pistol. Patrice’s disappearance intensified the existing tensions between Pistol and his stepfather as they dealt with the loss and searched for answers.

“House of Terror,” directed by Clay Jeter:
In April 2011, French police discovered the wife and four children of Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès buried under the back porch of their home in Nantes. Xavier, the family patriarch, was not among the dead and nowhere to be found. Investigators gradually pieced together clues and a timeline that pointed to Xavier as a devious, pre-meditate killer. For instance, they now know that shortly before the crimes occurred, Xavier inherited a gun that was the same model as the murder weapon.

“No Ride Home,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
Alonzo Brooks, 23, never returned home from a party he attended with friends in the predominantly white town of La Cygne, Kansas. A month later, a search party led by his family locates Alonzo’s body — in an area that law enforcement had already canvassed multiple times.

“Berkshire’s UFO,” directed by Marcus A. Clarke:
On September 1, 1969, many residents in Berkshire County, Massachusetts were traumatized by a sighting of a UFO. Eyewitnesses — many just children at the time — have spent their lives trying to convince the world that what they saw was real.

“Missing Witness,” directed by Clay Jeter:
At age 17, a guilt-ridden Lena Chapin confessed to helping her mother dispose of her murdered stepfather’s body four years prior. In 2012, Lena was issued a subpoena to testify against her mother in court, but the authorities were never able to deliver the summons — because Lena had disappeared, leaving behind a young son.

There's no word on what mysteries will be covered in the next six episodes, but co-creator Terry Dunn Meurer told Variety that one of the episodes will be 

an unusual ghost episode. That’s all I’ll say. It’s different. A bit different."

Dunn Meurer created Unsolved Mysteries with John Cosgrove. Cosgrove executive produces the revival with Shawn Levy and Josh Barry, while Dunn Meurer serves as showrunner with co-executive producer Robert Wise.
