Bloody-Disgusting points out that Prometheus took place in 2093, fast forward 10 years to when Covenant is set, followed by Alien, which was set in 2122.

The Creators Of Unsolved Mysteries Want To Bring The Show Back To Life

A generation of kids found real scares every week when they tuned in to Unsolved Mysteries. In my head I can still hear Robert Stack saying “Perhaps you can help solve a mystery.” The segments of re-enactments of unsolved crimes, paranormal activity, and alien encounters left viewers looking over their shoulders. Unfortunately, the show has not aired a new episode since 2010, but that might be changing. During a recent Reddit Q&A, the series creators, Terry Dunn Meurer and John Cosgrove, revealed that they are in the process of setting up meetings in an attempt to revive the series, SyfyWire reports. We too would very much like to see new Unsolved Mysteries shows on the air. We are in the process of reaching out to networks to see if there is interest in ordering new shows. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! We are always trying to find a network, channel, or streaming service that would like to show new episodes.”
