Will There Be More ‘Unsolved Mysteries’? Some Fans Have Harsh Words After Volume 5

Unsolved Mysteries: Volume 4.
Netflix

The fifth volume of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries reboot dropped less than a week ago, and fans have had some very stark reactions to the quartet of new episodes.

The four episodes for the new season, which arrived on the streamer last Wednesday (October 2), centered on a double-murder in Cleveland, a man who has a paranormal work partner, a potential cult attack on cows, and reports of a UFO sighting in the late ’40s.

Considering at least half, if not more, of these episodes have a supernatural bend, some fans were not pleased with the cases at hand in Volume 5 and expressed their dismay on social media.

One fan, for example, described the new season’s content as “all paranormal, UFO sh** again,” while another wrote, “Did they give up … How did you produce two trash a** volumes in a row. We the people did not ask yall to turn this into running from Casper and Friends. People actually deserve for their unsolved disappearances and murders to be told.”

“I wish they would go back to basics,” wrote another. “1 unsolved murder, 1 missing person, 1 suspicious death ruled natural or an unidentified person, 1 weird case like Bigfoot, paranormal etc but basically 3 this volume was a big [thumbs down].”

As for the future of the show, well, the results of Volume 5 have some fans wondering if it’s worth carrying on: “I f***ing love this show but at this point if you’re not gonna pick actually interesting cases, just cancel it,” one user wrote.

Despite all of this feisty feedback, though, the series remains in the Netflix Top 10 shows for U.S. viewers, as of this writing, so the demand for new Unsolved Mysteries is clearly still there among subscribers.

We’ll have to wait and see, though, whether and when Unsolved Mysteries Volume 6 is announced.

    Why such harsh critics? Did those people not realize these were released in October, so in spirit they did (3) paranormal segments. Also even the late Robert Stack said on an episode the unexplained are considered the most popular. Apparently they only want unsolved murders so they can play detective from their couches. At least they don’t do Lost Loves anymore.

    I think the show is disappointing, not much like the original. I lost faith in the show when the truth came out that Ray Rivera and his wife had been to the roof of the Belvedere hotel several times which was not stated in the show. I want accurate reporting, not important omissions.

    See, main problem with all this poaranormal stuff is, you can tell straight away of which is total bs, and which is not. I do enjoy it, but sometimes I can't stand it, some people are terrrrrrrribllllle actors, they will say aynthing for 5 minutes of fame -.- . But yeah, unsolved murders is the core, recently got addicted to true crime podcasts, damn, there is a lot, like literalllllly a lot of stories, just waiting for netflix to make it happen.

    Other than the alien stuff, I wanna see like more unsolved homicides, or unexplained deaths. Missing persons.

    I have watched unsolved mysteries since the beginning I loved when Netflix rebooted the series and I hope the keep making more volumes but I agree with a lot of the feed back they need to focus on unsolved murders and missing persons cases while I like the ufo/ creature episodes from time to time they have put there focus on that instead of what made the show great! Volume 6 needs to be about murders or missing persons cases that not many people know about that maybe wasn’t main stream media around the country/ world!

    I really enjoy the series. Unsolved mysterious murders & disappearances mostly. The paranormal episodes surprisingly didn’t captivate me as much.

    Well these people must have never seen the original with all the filler episodes. The lady who bleeds gold, lost loves found immediately, missing treasure....it wasn't all bangers.

    Wow! Do you mind me asking where you got that information? Id love to read about what really happened. They made it seem like they had never been there! Adds a bunch of questions to this mystery doesn’t it. So sad
