Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Is Released On Netflix In October

The second batch of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries will land on the streaming platform on 19 October.

When the show was first announced, Netflix revealed that 12 episodes had been created but, up to now, viewers have only been treated to the first six.

Teasing fans, Netflix tweeted:

And at first glance it looks as though there's no date, right?

But if you zoom in you can see 19 October. All those hours watching true crime documentaries were not wasted on me, my friends.

The reboot of the show, which originally ran from 1987 to 2010, has proven a big hit with true crime fans.

In a statement, Netflix said: "In six new episodes, Unsolved Mysteries profiles more unexplained disappearances, tragic events, and bizarre occurrences.

"Perhaps one viewer holds the key to solving these cases. Detectives, journalists, and family members offer intriguing theories in this gripping series from the creators of the original docuseries, Cosgrove/Meurer Productions, and 21 Laps Entertainment, the producers of Stranger Things."

A previous statement about the show read: "The iconic series Unsolved Mysteries is back!

"Fusing signature elements from the original series with contemporary immersive, character-driven storytelling, the 12 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."

As yet, we don't know what cases the new episodes will look into, but executive producer Terry Dunn Meurer told Variety that one of them will feature a true ghost story.

He told the publication: "It's an unusual ghost episode. That's all I'll say. It's different. A bit different."

Among the cases examined on the new series so far are a mysterious UFO incident that took place in Berkshire County, Massachusetts back in 1969; the death of Alonzo Brooks, who disappeared after a party and was found dead a month later; and the grizzly case of Xavier DuPont De Ligonnès, whose family were all found dead in their home in France after he disappeared in 2011.

Volume two of Unsolved Mysteries lands on 19 October, the first six episodes are available now.
