Perhaps you can help solve a mystery, as the new Unsolved Mysteries revival is now streaming on Netflix. Consisting of six new hour-long episodes, the revival series comes from the show’s original creators and even the iconic music has returned as well. All that’s missing here is original host Robert Stack, who hasn’t been replaced for the new version as finding someone else like him would certainly be impossible.

After its original run on television with Stack serving as host, Unsolved Mysteries was later revived by Spike TV with new host Dennis Farina. This new version featured classic cases and provided new updates to many previously-unsolved mysteries, though it also tackled some new mysteries as well. FilmRise has since uploaded classic episodes of Unsolved Mysteries with both Stack and Farina to YouTube for anyone to stream online for free.
The Netflix revival takes a different approach, invoking the same tone of the original series but providing some all-new cases. Unfortunately, the first season might feel a bit short, as there are only six episodes to start with. Just six mysteries seems like a tease for an all-out Unsolved Mysteries revival, but chances are, Netflix wanted to see how the series performed before ordering additional episodes. Hopefully, many more will be soon to come.
You can take a look at the episode descriptions below, and you can watch the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix!
“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.
