Pack your bags and double-check your passport, because history’s favorite treasure-hunting truth-seeker is back! Josh Gates is dusting off the archives and heading back into the field for a brand-new season of “Expedition Files” this April.

Forget what you read in your middle school textbooks; Josh is here to prove that “settled history” is usually anything but.

The Premiere: Submarines, Spies, and Secret Escapes

The season kicks off with a triple-threat of American mysteries that will have you side-eyeing your history teacher. IT delves into what actually happened to the USS Scorpion during the Cold War, the real story behind Paul Revere’s famous ride (spoiler: it’s not just a poem). It asks if John Wilkes Booth actually escaped his date with destiny? New evidence suggests a much weirder ending for America’s most hated man.

Coming Up This Season: From Dracula to Donner

Josh isn’t stopping at the U.S. border. This season is a global whirlwind of “wait, what?” moments:

-The Real Dracula: Bloodcurdling new evidence regarding the death of the man behind the myth.

-Noah’s Ark: A startling discovery in the Turkish mountains that might prove the Biblical flood.

-Psychic Spies: Declassifying the truth behind America’s top-secret “Remote Viewing” programs.

-The Donner Party: A chilling investigation into the final, frozen days of the ill-fated pioneers.

-Melting Mysteries: A secret Cold War missile base is emerging from the Arctic ice, and it’s got stories to tell.

Join the Hunt

Whether he’s unearthing the betrayal of mob boss Bugsy Siegel or tracking the fall of the Knights Templar, Josh Gates is making sure no stone—or mummified secret—stays unturned. Tune in for the new season on April 1!

Get in on the conspiracy talk using #ExpeditionFiles on TikTok, Instagram, and X. This season is produced by Ping Pong Productions. If the trailers are any indication, we’re in for a wild ride.
