Fans of Expedition Bigfoot have been waiting for one announcement for months.
When is Season 7 coming?
The popular Discovery and Travel Channel series has built a loyal audience around Russell Acord, Dr. Mireya Mayor and Bryce Johnson as they investigate reports of the legendary creature across remote parts of North America.
But after the most recent season, the future of the series became surprisingly unclear.
As of August 23, 2026, there is still no officially announced Season 7 premiere date from Discovery or Travel Channel.
However, there is also no verified cancellation announcement.
That distinction is important.
Is Expedition Bigfoot Season 7 Cancelled?
At the moment, there is no solid evidence that Expedition Bigfoot has been officially cancelled.
Discovery's official Expedition Bigfoot page remains active and continues to feature the series. The show's official streaming page also continues to list the program and its cast.
That does not confirm Season 7.
But it also means fans should be cautious about viral videos and social media posts claiming that Discovery has permanently cancelled the show.
Several online posts have made exactly that claim, but they do not provide an official cancellation statement from the network.
What Happened After the Last Season?
The latest widely documented season featured Russell Acord, Bryce Johnson and Dr. Mireya Mayor investigating new Bigfoot reports and using technology, eyewitness accounts and field research to narrow down possible locations.
Season 6 continued the team's search after years of research and investigations.
TV Insider described the season as combining years of research, first person accounts and data analysis as the team continued its search for the creature.
The problem came afterward.
There was no immediate Season 7 announcement.
That created a long period of uncertainty for fans.
Why Has Season 7 Taken So Long?
One explanation comes from discussions involving people close to the show.
In a Reddit discussion about Season 7, viewers referenced comments attributed to Dr. Mireya Mayor saying that the series had not been cancelled and that the team was waiting for the green light before filming another season.
This is not the same as an official Discovery announcement, so it should be treated as supporting information rather than confirmation.
But it does provide an important clue.
The delay may be related to production and network decisions rather than the show being permanently finished.
Has Season 7 Been Filmed?
This is where fans need to be especially careful.
There have been online claims about Season 7, including supposed release dates and videos suggesting that new episodes are already coming.
However, I could not verify an official Discovery announcement confirming that a complete Season 7 has been filmed.
A 2025 discussion among fans also claimed that filming had not yet begun and that the team was waiting for approval to move forward.
So at this point, there is no reliable basis for saying that Season 7 has already been completed.
What About Russell Acord?
Russell Acord remains closely associated with the series.
He has been part of Expedition Bigfoot since its beginning and has become one of the show's most recognizable investigators.
The current Discovery and discovery+ listings continue to identify Acord among the show's cast.
That is encouraging for fans hoping to see him return.
But again, the network has not officially announced the Season 7 cast lineup.
Therefore, it would be premature to claim that every previous cast member is definitely returning.
What About Mireya Mayor and Bryce Johnson?
Dr. Mireya Mayor and Bryce Johnson have also been central figures in the more recent seasons.
Discovery's international page continues to describe the team around Johnson, Mayor and Acord.
Their continued association with the program is another reason fans are watching closely for news about another season.
But there is still no official Season 7 premiere announcement.
Until Discovery releases a formal announcement, reports about exact cast combinations or filming locations should be treated as unconfirmed.
Why Fans Still Have Reason to Hope
There is a simple reason Expedition Bigfoot continues to attract attention.
The mystery has never been resolved.
The series has spent years investigating eyewitness reports, possible footprints, thermal images, vocalizations and unusual structures.
But it has never produced universally accepted scientific proof that Bigfoot exists.
That leaves the central question open.
And from a television perspective, an unresolved mystery creates plenty of opportunities for another investigation.
The Discovery and Travel Channel websites still actively promote the series, which suggests the franchise remains part of the network's programming ecosystem.
Could Season 7 Be the Final Season?
It is possible, but there is currently no evidence to say that it will be.
Likewise, it would be wrong to claim that Season 7 is definitely coming when Discovery has not announced it.
The most accurate position right now is somewhere between those two extremes.
Season 7 has not been officially announced.
The series has not been officially cancelled.
There is no confirmed premiere date.
And there is no reliable evidence that viewers should expect new episodes on a specific date.
The Best Clue May Come From the Team
For a show like Expedition Bigfoot, production can take considerable time.
The team travels to remote locations, researches sightings, gathers evidence and spends extended periods in the field.
That means a new season cannot necessarily be produced overnight.
If Discovery gives the project a green light, filming would still need to happen before new episodes could reach television.
That makes premature online release dates particularly unreliable.
What Fans Should Watch For
The most trustworthy confirmation will come directly from Discovery, Travel Channel or an official announcement from the show's production team or cast.
Fans should be particularly cautious about YouTube thumbnails claiming:
"Season 7 Cancelled"
"Season 7 Confirmed"
"New Episodes Tonight"
or
"Expedition Bigfoot Found Proof."
Unless the claim is backed by an official source, it may simply be designed to attract clicks.
Final Verdict
So, is Expedition Bigfoot really over?
Not according to the information currently available.
As of August 23, 2026, Discovery has not officially announced a Season 7 premiere date, but there is also no verified cancellation announcement.
The strongest available indication is that the series has remained in a state of uncertainty rather than being definitively ended. Fan discussions have cited comments from Dr. Mireya Mayor indicating that the team was waiting for the green light to continue, although those comments are not a substitute for an official network announcement.
For now, Russell Acord, Mireya Mayor, Bryce Johnson and the rest of the Expedition Bigfoot world remain in waiting mode.
The search for Bigfoot may not be over.
But Season 7 is still waiting for its official green light.
