Netflix Reveals Volume 4 Of Beloved True Crime Series
Netflix has been a global leader in the horror and true crime genres in recent years, offering a wide array of terrific programming for fans of the macabre, skin-crawling killers, and paranormal activity. Now, Netflix has released an official trailer for the upcoming fourth volume of Unsolved Mysteries via YouTube, leaving fans around the globe to jump for joy, before ducking under the covers in terror. The latest volume is expected to contain five brand new episodes, each centered on a different cold case file or user-submitted oddity, premiering on July 31.

Long before Unsolved Mysteries came to Netflix for its latest iteration, the series ran for decades on networks such as NBC, CBS, Lifetime, and Spike. Netflix first took on the reins of the show in 2019, before offering a brief two-part season in 2020.
Stranger Things‘ executive producer Shawn Levy was instrumental in the process of developing the show for streaming, bringing the classic feel of Unsolved Mysteries with a refreshing modern twist.
One episode of the upcoming season of Unsolved Mysteries will focus on the legendary killer Jack the Ripper.
Thanks to an overwhelmingly positive consensus from fans, Netflix has continued to extend their version of Unsolved Mysteries into several additional seasons, culminating in the upcoming episodes.
The new version of the long-running series operates with no central host, and offers viewers at home a chance to write in with their own disturbing tales of unresolved events.
The upcoming fourth installment of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries can be viewed in tandem with an online dossier, which offers viewers a brief guide to the details of the events in each episode.
This dossier allows Unsolved Mysteries super-fans the opportunity to get inside the minds of the detectives breaking down the case, and may even lead a few armchair experts to find an important detail that cracks these seemingly impossible mysteries wide open.
This is not the first time Netflix has offered a multimedia viewing experience for the show, as the season 3 dossier can also be found on their official watch-along website.
A brief look over the comments section on the YouTube trailer reveals a number of die-hard fans expressing the sentiment that 5 episodes just won’t be enough to keep them occupied until the next batch.
The YouTube trailer doesn’t give away too many details about the forthcoming five-part series, though the brief previews are quite fascinating. For starters, it looks like one episode will center on the famed serial killer Jack the Ripper, who terrorized innocent women across London for years in the late 1800s.
While tales of the unknown murderer have become well-trodden ground, this will be the first time Jack the Ripper has ever gotten the Unsolved Mysteries treatment.
Other episodes of the latest batch of Unsolved Mysteries are said to center on missing persons cases, paranormal sightings, and a wide array of other mysterious happenings from all over the world. While fans are already thrilled at the prospect of getting new episodes of the beloved long-running series, some have expressed frustration with the lack of volume in the newly-announced season.

With any luck, this restrictive production schedule will mean that each episode has wisely utilized the Unsolved Mysteries budget and resources, in order to offer the greatest five-episode selection in the show’s decades-long run. Either way, fans will have their answers on July 31 when the episodes premiere.
