I went on the new Unsolved Mysteries website this morning, and at the top of the homepage it says:

A Gmail address? You'd think they'd use an unsolved.com email address... but regardless, nice, so-long-as new UM doesn't butcher them (which they prob. will).

I must admit I am shocked to see this, though of course well pleased! I wonder why it took them so long to do this?

Great news, maybe a change in format from the rock theme back to the darker theme too?

Although it looks promising, I'm going to withhold any excitement on the matter until it is officially announced (if the show is actually resuming production).

Same here. There is a long and winding road between accepting story submissions and actual production. I do remember though when the show was relaunched on SPIKE that it was mentioned that if the show did well they would consider filming new segments. I wonder if the move back to LIFETIME had something to do with the sudden interest in producing new segments?

This is great news! I too don't want to get my hopes up because there's always the possibility that they'll just put the new stories on their website and not actually film a segment. And I also hope we get a new host and format, if the show is actually produced again.

Maybe now that the show is back on Lifetime, it is getting better ratings than it got on Spike. I've always hoped they would film new episodes, so this is very encouraging.

I can think of several great story ideas (and updates, of course). Do you guys want to try to compile some ideas here, then take a vote on which ones we would most like to see aired? We could all then flood C-M with the same requests, thereby making them take notice of the popularity of certain cases.

Great news. I hope they do produce new shows. That would be great!

Im with Kane, lets wait and see if it really happens.

Agreed. This is a definite step int he right direction though. I have to believe that if they are putting this out there, then they are well prepared to start filming new episodes.

I hope this pans out!!!! And they go back to the old music, I can live with Farnia narrating as long as they get new segments and back to old music! I hope this really does work out!!!

Perhaps they will also get a new 1-800 number and be more likely to have new updates on old cases as well. Maybe just start re airing old ones that haven't been solved and update their status. That'd be sweet.

With no Robert Stack I'd prefer Morgan Freeman, but Farina is ok.

I'm a sucker for the show. I'll watch no matter how bad they butcher it.
