The fate of Unsolved Mysteries is no longer a mystery. Last month, Netflix announced that the true-crime series would be back for a third season, which is due out in the summer of 2022. For those tracking every detail, here's what we know about the next installment of the Netflix original series.

Netflix struck gold when it took the classic true-crime series of the 1980s and 1990s and updated it into today's Unsolved Mysteries. It grabs fans' attention with real-life quandaries to puzzle over, which is, even more, engaging in the social media age than it was in decades past. In keeping with that theme, Netflix announced the Unsolved Mysteries Season 3 renewal with a triumphant title card on Twitter, which immediately got the gears turning. According to a report by Deadline, the new season will have some notable changes in store for fans.

So far, The Netflix original series Unsolved Mysteries has devoted more time to each of its stories than the original version tended to. This will continue in Season 3, with updates where possible since the media attention has led to some fresh tips on many of these mysteries. Netflix and 21 Laps Entertainment have reportedly received over 5,000 tips since the revival premiered.

"We feel thrilled and privileged to be filming volume 3 of Unsolved Mysteries," said producers Shawn Levy and Josh Barry. "The massive success of our last two volumes on Netflix proved that there is enduring and passionate love for this iconic franchise, and we can't wait to dig into more of the stories that Unsolved Mysteries tells so uniquely well. 21 Laps is committed to emotional humanist stories, and to be able to tell more of these true stories of mystery alongside Cosgrove/Meurer who produced the original series is a dream come true."

 Fellow producer Terry Dunn Meurer added: "The Unsolved Mysteries production team at Cosgrove/Meurer Productions couldn't be more excited about developing volume 3 of our successful Netflix series. We're currently in production on more intriguing mysteries and we look forward to our viewers' help in solving the new cases next summer. Thank you to our Unsolved Mysteries fans who have made the series such a huge success."

Unsolved Mysteries Season 3 is slated to premiere in the summer of 2022 on Netflix. The first two seasons are streaming there now, and the original version of the series from decades past is streaming on Amazon Prime's IMDbTV channel for free with ads.
