Fans of Expedition Bigfoot have been waiting for one important question to be answered. Will the show return for Season 7?
The series has built a strong following by taking viewers into remote forests, tracking unexplained footprints, investigating unusual sounds and using modern technology in the search for evidence of Bigfoot. After six seasons, there is still plenty of curiosity about what could happen next.
But as of now, the situation around Season 7 is not completely clear.
Discovery's official Expedition Bigfoot page currently lists Season 6 as the latest season, with eight episodes ranging from “Why Are They Here?” to “Target Identified.” The network has not published a Season 7 premiere date on that page.
At the same time, a television tracking site currently lists Expedition Bigfoot as renewed for Season 7 and says that a premiere date has not yet been announced.
So, is Season 7 happening? There are reasons for fans to remain hopeful, but there is still no official premiere date from Discovery.
What Happened in Season 6
Season 6 took the investigation to Washington after the team received a new lead. Bryce Johnson, Dr. Mireya Mayor and Russell Acord returned to the field, while survivalist Biko Wright joined the investigation.
The team focused on an area known as “The Fork,” where they investigated reports and signs that could potentially point toward Bigfoot activity.
Throughout the season, the investigation involved several different types of clues.
Russell followed unusual warning signs in the backcountry. Mireya and Biko investigated possible activity around their base camp. Bryce examined strange evidence and followed up on reports from witnesses.
As the episodes continued, the team used increasingly advanced equipment to investigate the area.
The season also featured a mysterious footprint, unusual sounds, possible heat signatures and other clues that the team believed could be connected to Bigfoot. Discovery's episode descriptions present these as part of the team's investigation, rather than as independently confirmed proof of an unknown creature.
The final episode, “Target Identified,” brought the team together in a high activity area. According to the episode description, the team used an interceptor drone and seismic tripwire before being led to a discovery they had never seen before.
That ending naturally left viewers wondering what could happen if the investigation continues.
Has Discovery Officially Announced Season 7?
This is where the situation becomes more complicated.
Discovery's current official show page lists Season 6 episodes but does not currently provide a Season 7 episode list or premiere date.
That means fans should be careful with websites or social media posts claiming that a specific Season 7 premiere date has already been confirmed.
There is, however, another indication that the series may continue.
SeasonTracker currently lists Expedition Bigfoot as “Renewed” for Season 7. The site also says that a premiere date has not been announced.
Because this information does not come directly from Discovery's official show page, it is better to describe the renewal as reported rather than presenting it as a fully confirmed Discovery announcement.
In other words, there is a reason to be optimistic, but fans should still wait for an official announcement before treating Season 7 as completely confirmed.
Why Another Season Would Make Sense
There is still plenty of material that could support another season.
One of the biggest reasons is the nature of the investigation itself. The team has never reached a point where the mystery surrounding Bigfoot has been scientifically settled.
Every expedition produces new questions.
A footprint may suggest something unusual, but a footprint by itself does not establish the identity of the animal that made it. A strange sound can be difficult to explain, but it does not automatically prove that Bigfoot produced it.
That uncertainty is a major part of what keeps the show going.
Season 6 also introduced several investigative threads that could potentially be explored further. The team investigated possible activity around a specific area, used new technology and followed multiple clues across difficult terrain.
If the producers receive another green light, the next expedition could build on some of those unresolved questions.
What Could Season 7 Focus On?
If Season 7 happens, the team could potentially return to some of the biggest unanswered questions from previous investigations.
One possibility would be revisiting locations where the team previously recorded unusual activity.
Another could involve using newer technology to investigate evidence that was difficult to understand during earlier expeditions.
The show could also revisit the question of whether different types of evidence are connected.
For example, a footprint, a sound and movement detected by technology might appear more interesting when investigated together. But each piece would still need to be examined carefully before drawing conclusions.
That kind of investigation is one of the reasons Expedition Bigfoot remains interesting to viewers.
The Team Could Also Follow New Leads
Another season would not necessarily have to continue exactly where Season 6 ended.
The team could receive a completely new lead and travel to another part of North America.
Over the years, the series has investigated different environments and relied on information from witnesses, researchers and people who believe they have encountered something unusual.
A new location could introduce a completely different set of challenges.
Remote forests, difficult terrain and unpredictable weather can make investigations extremely difficult. That also gives the show an opportunity to use different tracking methods and technology.
If Season 7 receives an official green light, fans will likely be interested in knowing where the next investigation will take place and which members of the team will return.
What About the Cast?
The 2024 Warner Bros. Discovery announcement confirmed the return of Bryce Johnson, Dr. Mireya Mayor and Russell Acord for the new season that became Season 6. The announcement described the team as returning to the field for another investigation into Bigfoot.
However, that announcement was for Season 6 and should not be treated as confirmation of the Season 7 cast.
If Season 7 is officially announced, Discovery would be expected to provide more information about the returning team and the direction of the investigation.
For now, it is safest not to assume that every member of the Season 6 team will automatically return.
Why Fans Are Still Waiting
The long wait has naturally created speculation among viewers.
Some fans have discussed the possibility of another season online, while others have questioned whether the series will return at all. Fan discussions can show how much interest remains in the show, but they are not official announcements from Discovery.
That distinction is important.
A social media post, fan comment or television listing can sometimes appear before an official network announcement, but it should not automatically be treated as confirmation.
For viewers who want reliable information, the safest place to watch is Discovery's official Expedition Bigfoot page and official announcements from Warner Bros. Discovery.
Could Season 7 Be the Biggest Investigation Yet?
If the show returns, expectations will probably be high.
Season 6 already pushed the team into difficult terrain and introduced new investigative methods. A seventh season could take that approach even further.
The biggest opportunity would be to follow evidence that can be tested and investigated from multiple angles.
That could include better environmental monitoring, improved camera systems, thermal imaging, acoustic equipment or other technologies available to the production team.
However, technology alone cannot turn an unexplained observation into scientific proof.
The strongest investigation would need evidence that can be independently examined and reproduced.
That distinction matters because the existence of Bigfoot remains unproven scientifically. Claims of sightings and unusual evidence have been reported for decades, but there is still no scientifically verified specimen establishing that an unknown North American primate exists.
For that reason, the show's future investigations are best viewed as attempts to investigate a mystery rather than proof that Bigfoot has already been discovered.
So Will There Be a Season 7?
Right now, the most accurate answer is that Season 7 appears possible, but there is no confirmed premiere date from Discovery.
Discovery's official website currently lists Season 6 as the latest season.
At the same time, SeasonTracker currently reports the show as renewed for Season 7 while noting that no premiere date has been announced.
That puts the series in an interesting position for fans.
There is enough information to keep hope alive, but not enough official information to say exactly when viewers will see the next season.
Until Discovery makes a formal announcement, claims about a specific release date should be treated carefully.
What Fans Should Watch For Next
The biggest sign will be an official announcement from Discovery or Warner Bros. Discovery.
A confirmed Season 7 announcement would likely provide more information about the cast, filming, the investigation location and eventually a premiere date.
Until then, the best approach is to separate confirmed information from online speculation.
Season 6 gave the team several new mysteries to investigate, and the format of the show leaves plenty of possibilities for another expedition.
For fans who have followed the team through remote forests, strange footprints, unexplained sounds and unusual technology readings, the question remains open.
Will Expedition Bigfoot return for Season 7?
There are signs that the story may not be finished yet. But until Discovery officially announces the next season and its premiere date, viewers will have to wait for the final answer.
For now, Season 7 remains one of the biggest unanswered questions surrounding Expedition Bigfoot.
