Unsolved Mysteries : "Unsolved Mysteries" Coming To Streaming Platforms, Stack Eps Updated!
Re: "Unsolved Mysteries" Coming To Streaming Platforms, Stack Eps Update
You beat me to it! I have randomly been googling "Unsolved Mysteries" since the petition that went viral to get the show released. To my surprise there was an article on EW that basically says what you stated. I guess I have a reason to keep my Amazon Prime account now. I have been waiting YEARS for this. I spent about $100 buying as many episodes as a could by "other means". I also paid a pretty penny for the treasure chest from 2007 that was released. I am so excited I could spit! I am going to binge watch the hell out of this again and again. I am obsessed with UM because when I was a kid I was very close to my grandfather and this was our favorite show. It is so nostalgic and brings back good memories. And yes I was terrified of the theme song, but watching it with my grandfather always made me feel better. I am glad the petition worked and someone bought the rights! AWESOME!!

These better be the uncut CBS shows, not the Best-of "themed" cuts that were released on DVD.

I have read it is the entire complete series and they will also be adding updates to cases. I can only imagine how much editing they will have to do. I wonder will it be free with Amazon Prime or will you have to pay? I can't wait to watch some of the segments that never made it to TV.

As long as you have Amazon Prime does it matter where in the world you are, will you be able to access these episodes from Amazon Prime?

Between this and the upcoming Tremors Series, it looks like I'll be getting Amazon Prime next year!

If you are a student you get a 6 month free trial. I am in the middle of mine and will definitely be paying for a subscription. Between this and Netflix you can't go wrong. I've never tried HULU.

I just read this and this is fantastic news. I've always wondered why they didn't release the rights to upload the episodes? I understand about copyright and all the stuff. But the right person could watch an episode and who knows it might jog their memory about a case. Looks like I'll have to look into getting Amazon Prime. Awesome, Awesome news for us UM fans and soon to be new fans.

"Unsolved Mysteries" Coming To Streaming Platforms, Stack Eps Updated!
Unsolved Mysteries fans can look forward to finding out if any of them have been solved when the original episodes hosted by Robert Stack start streaming on Amazon in 2017.
FilmRise, which acquired worldwide digital distribution rights to the former NBC and CBS show, told TheWrap Thursday that episodes are currently being revised to include new information about the original cases. The company did not yet respond to TheWraps request if any of the updates would reveal cases had been solved.
As TheWrap previously reported, you can start streaming Unsolved Mysteries this month. Two full seasons of the 2008 revival, hosted by late actor Dennis Farina (Law and Order) are already available on Amazon. Those episodes re-examine mysteries from the original run to reflect new findings.
But 2017 will be the first time updated versions of the Stack episodes have ever been available to stream. In fact, some episode updates are brand new, never before seen or broadcast on TV.
FilmRise will continue release more Farina and Stack episodes in the winter and spring of 2017 across multiple platforms.
Unsolved Mysteries weaved together interviews and reenactments to examine cold cases, including bizarre crimes, missing persons reports, historical events and even paranormal activity. The show ran for 10 seasons on NBC before migrating to CBS, where it aired until 2002.
Stack, who also has 96 acting credits on top of appearing as himself to host Unsolved Mysteries, died in 2003 after suffering a heart attack. He won an Oscar in 1957 for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Written on the Wind, and then won an Emmy in 1960 for his portrayal of Eliot Ness on ABCs The Untouchables.
Farina also had a healthy acting resume before hosting the show. The former Chicago police officer started his career in 1981 with a role in Michael Mann action flick Thief and went on to play memorable characters in Snatch, Get Shorty and Big Trouble before becoming a regular on Law and Order between 2004 and 2006. He died in the summer of 2013 after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
Unsolved Mysteries was created and executive produced by John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer.
