The Truth is Somewhere. A Guide to Spring 2026 Mystery Block on History and Discovery Channel

Spring 2026 is shaping up to be a surprisingly packed season for fans of mysteries, conspiracies, and the unexplained. There’s no shortage of strangeness to tune into for the Spring 2026 Mystery Block on Friday nights!

Spring 2026 Mystery BlockIf you’ve spent any time following the unknown and unsolved with all those series on History Channel or Discovery, the good news is that there’s always something new on the horizon. I personally believe we are finally out of the paranormal reality television craze as interest has, ironically enough, faded away. The few programs that remain for Spring 2026 Mystery Block are money makers for one reason or another, but as for new content and promoting those shows, it’s about bloody time!

What started as a niche revival has exploded into a full-blown spring premiere block. And it’s no joke, April is a busy month! Whether you’re here for the cryptids, the conspiracies, or just to see genre icons staring intensely at dusty artifacts, here is how the lineup is shaping up.

With Expedition X having finished its run not too long ago, there’s an empty chair in the entertainment that needs filling. And there is good news as the next season is being filmed. On the series fan page on Facebook, Heather confirmed they are filming. All fans can do is wait while The Secret of Oak Island is nothing but dead air. As for Expedition Files, the successor to the Unknown brand, that’s coming April 1st if the info on their social media is correct.

After Star Trek and Boston Legal, You Can Call Me Bill in this Enlightening Documentary

To figure out why William Shatner says You Can Call Me Bill is because he’s allowed to expound upon what he feels is important about life. It’s not just his legacy in this well meaning documentary.

After finally being able to watch William Shatner: You Can Call Me Bill multiple times, all I can tell is that this documentary presents a different side of this actor that few rarely see. It had a very limited theatrical run, but back then, I didn’t have my notepad in hand. Within the fandom community, some may say he has quite the ego and outside, others wonder why is he a big deal? Here, the best segments concern his youth, what his upbringing was like and what made him decide to be an entertainer.

Anyone who knows his resume will say Twilight Zone or Star Trek is what made him a star. Prior to those appearances, he was in a few Westerns. Although his most famous episode concerns a gremlin, to recognise “Nick of Time” is just as important. While parts of his television career are quickly referred to, namely T.C. Hooker and Boston Legal, I’m curious why TekWar wasn’t mentioned? Although it was ghost-written by Ron Goulart, the ideas were his.

Look Up! Is That “A Tear in the Sky?”

What “A Tear in the Sky” tries to discover is if energy can be detected using current Earth technology.

The Navy often encounters Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and whether they cause A Tear in the Sky depends on who you ask. But as for what powers these UFOs, nobody knows. This latest documentary tries to figure out if they are using wormholes, micro black holes, cold fusion, or some unknown technology to travel about. What this work hosted by Caroline Cory tries to discover is if energy can be observed/detected using current Earth technology.

Whatever kind of propulsion is used, it’s bound to be light years ahead of what NASA and private enterprises are trying to craft. I believe it’s cold fusion after I finished watching. Michio Kaku, even leans towards it too, and I’ll gladly watch anything this physicist appears in!

The month of October is perfect to get caught up on what William Shatner is up to. The former captain of the Starship Enterprise is now the face of The Unexplained, a History channel program that looks at the paranormal world in all its myriad forms. This new series started mid-Summer and I waited for the season to be over to binge-watch the entire eight-episode run. Had the producers been smart, they should’ve simply called it Weird or What? season five.

This previous version was a much more entertaining show. It had more of Bill’s wit and panache. He would always end the episode saying, “Isn’t that weird… or what?” As much as I’d love to see him in the field investigating these mysteries, my guess his heart may not handle being it.

  • Spoiler Alert

With three Star Trek alumni involved in Devil’s Revenge, what can go wrong? Not much. A leap of faith is required to understand how a family deals with a curse placed upon the whole generational line. When Sergio (Jason Brooks) has to locate a lost relic (a fetish) that’s also a key to unleashing Orc-like minions, just touching it is enough to cause hallucinations. He raced out of the cave like a bat out of hell. These phantoms are not those bikers from Nicola’s Cage Mandy, but they look like they sure can be!
