From Netflix: The iconic series Unsolved Mysteries is back! Fusing signature elements from the original series with contemporary immersive, character-driven storytelling, the twelve new episodes are rooted in the experiences of ordinary people who have lived the unthinkable — from the trauma of a loved one’s unexplained disappearance or horrific death, to the shock of a bizarre paranormal encounter.
Alongside detectives and journalists, family members offer clues, present theories, and identify suspects, hoping one viewer holds the key to solving the mystery. From the creators of the original docuseries, Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, and 21 Laps Entertainment, the producers of Stranger Things.
The first six episodes, “Volume 1,” will include the following segments: “Mystery on the Rooftop,” “No Ride Home,” and “Berkshire’s UFO” directed by Marcus A. Clarke; “13 Minutes” directed by Jimmy Goldblum; and “House of Terror” and “Missing Witness” directed by Clay Jeter.

Naturally, there was a lot of curiosity about who would narrate and host. Filling the shoes of the iconic Robert Stack is no easy task. However, in the rebooted series, there will also be no narrator or host, instead presented in a documentary style. Each episode will also focus on a single topic, instead of several as the original show covered.
