‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Volume 4 To Arrive on Netflix in July 2024

The rebooted Unsolved Mysteries is back after a nearly two-year hiatus with a new batch of mysteries. Consisting of 5 episodes, volume 4 will drop globally on July 31st, 2024. 

As you may remember, Volume 3 was released on Netflix in an untraditional format. Nine episodes were released close to Halloween, billed as a “three-night event,” with three episodes dropping on October 18th, October 25th, and November 1st, 2022.

The existence of a fourth volume came a little earlier this year during the Next on Netflix reveals. The show was one of the 90+ series confirmed to be coming out during the year.

Netflix TUDUM scooped the news on July 2024 as the release month, posting about the show in its documentary and docuseries preview for the summer. While they didn’t provide any indication as to what will be covered in the new season, they provided the following logline:

“The iconic and gripping series returns featuring more unexplained deaths, baffling disappearances, and bizarre paranormal activity.”

Terry Dunn Meurer, co-creator and executive producer, teased the upcoming season, saying:

“This is our most unique volume yet. From one of the most notorious unsolved cases of all time to all-new baffling mysteries, there’s something for everyone to solve.”

Shawn Levy, executive producer of the series, said:

“UNSOLVED MYSTERIES continues to resonate with viewers in ways we could never have imagined, with some episodes leading to solving cases that were once thought unsolvable. It is a privilege to collaborate with Terry Dunn Meurer and her team on this iconic franchise, and we are so excited to share this next installment of compelling and fascinating mysteries with viewers around the world.”

In addition, they revealed three directors lined up for the new season:

• Robert M. Wise – Served as an executive producer on prior seasons and directed three previous episodes: Death in Oslo (S2E2), Death Row Fugitive (S2E3), and Body in the Bay (S3E7)
• Skye Borgman – Director of Girl in the Picture plus prior episodes of Unsolved Mysteries: Lady in the Lake (S2E5), Mystery at Mile Marker 45 (S3E1), Death in a Vegas Motel (S3E4)
• Gabe Torres – Director of Brake and December, plus prior episodes of Unsolved Mysteries: Something in the Sky (S3E2) and What Happened to Josh? (S3E5)

As part of the July 2024 lineup reveal, Netflix released some first-look pictures of the new upcoming season:

Of course, while you’re waiting, Netflix has many similar documentaries ready and waiting. We’d recommend Files of the Unexplained, Catching Killers, What Jennifer Did, or Missing: Dead or Alive as a suitable stopgap.
