Looking for a new documentary or reality show? Here’s a rundown of what’s new this week, with information about each show’s topic, the people involved – like hosts and creators – and where you can watch it.

‘History’s Greatest Mysteries’ (2020–present)

Laurence Fishburne hosts and narrates this documentary series, which explores fascinating unsolved mysteries from history – like disappearances, lost treasures, and debated events. Each hour-long episode thoroughly examines the evidence, presents different explanations, and shares new discoveries. Originally airing on the History Channel, the series has covered many topics over several seasons. Fishburne guides viewers through each case, while historians, detectives, and experts offer their insights.

‘Elizabeth Smart: Finding Justice’ (2020)

This true-crime series, hosted by Elizabeth Smart – a survivor of abduction herself – shares the stories of victims like Candra Torres. It uses court footage, interviews, and personal accounts to explore their cases, focusing on their journeys toward healing and the fight for justice, rather than simply shocking details. Each episode combines official evidence and expert analysis to show how investigations progressed and what the final outcome was. The series originally aired in 2020 and can still be streamed or purchased online.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ (2024–present)

This Hulu reality show follows a group of popular “MomTok” influencers from Utah—including Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, and Miranda McWhorter—as they navigate the challenges of raising families, building careers on social media, and dealing with changing friendships. Produced by Jeff Jenkins and a team experienced in unscripted television, the show quickly became one of Hulu’s most popular new unscripted series in 2024. Special reunion episodes and updates for subsequent seasons have brought dramatic confrontations and surprising new information. The show is continuing to develop with new content into 2025.

‘Secrets of the Bunny Ranch’ (2025)

This documentary series takes a look at Nevada’s Moonlite BunnyRanch, exploring how its reputation changed from being featured on HBO to the controversies surrounding its owner, Dennis Hof, after his death. Featuring interviews with people who used to work there, the series investigates the relationships between those in charge and the workers, what conditions were like inside, and the complex history of this legal brothel. Promotional materials suggest the series reveals a stark contrast between how the BunnyRanch presented itself to the public and what life was really like for those who worked there. The first season, released in 2025, relies heavily on personal stories from those involved.

‘Death by Fame’ (2023–present)

Investigation Discovery’s true-crime series delves into the tragic stories of people in the entertainment industry whose lives were cut short by violence. Each episode follows investigators as they piece together what happened, examining the victims’ careers and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Launched in 2023, the show has continued with multiple seasons, offering a look at the darker side of fame and ambition in Hollywood and serving as a cautionary tale about the pursuit of success.

‘Botched Bariatrics’ (2024)

As a total documentary buff, I recently checked out this really compelling medical series. It follows people who’ve had weight-loss surgery but are now facing some pretty serious complications. What’s fascinating is seeing the doctors work tirelessly to fix things, and the show really dives into both the physical and emotional journeys of these patients. Each episode focuses on individual cases – you see the diagnosis, the follow-up surgeries, and what recovery looks like long-term. It’s a newer series, premiering in 2024, and it fits right in with the kind of lifestyle content you’d find on TLC and Discovery.

‘Moonshiners’ (2011–present)

This Discovery Channel series takes you into the world of moonshining in Appalachia, following distillers like Eric “Digger” Manes, Mark Ramsey, Tim Smith, Josh Owens, and Steve Tickle. Narrated by Jeremy Schwartz, the show blends real-life footage of the distilling process with the history of illegal liquor in the region. Over its many seasons, the series has tracked the changing teams and even spin-off projects, with detailed episode guides and network information available.

‘Murder Under the Friday Night Lights’ (2022–present)

This documentary series explores shocking murder cases in small towns where high school football is a central part of life. It shows how these communities deal with tragedy and distrust. Each episode pieces together the investigation using interviews, news footage, and official police records. The series, which airs on Investigation Discovery, has been renewed for multiple seasons and uniquely combines the world of high school sports with true-crime storytelling.

‘Ghost Adventures’ (2008–present)

This popular series, starring Zak Bagans and his team – Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley – explores allegedly haunted locations worldwide. Originally on Travel Channel, the show now streams on Discovery+, with special episodes and new seasons often focusing on well-known places. The show’s website provides details on how the team investigates, including their equipment and techniques, over hundreds of hours of footage. Recent episodes have featured investigations at famous movie locations.

‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Triple D Nation’ (2018–present)

Hosted by Guy Fieri, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives: The Next Course revisits restaurants from the original show to see what’s new. Each episode checks in on the kitchens, showcasing updated menus and sharing the stories of the owners and their communities. Think of it as a culinary ‘where are they now?’ – the show started in July 2018 and continues to revisit popular eateries.

‘Deadly Women’ (2005–2021)

This popular series on Investigation Discovery focuses on murder cases involving female perpetrators. Each episode combines insights from experts with dramatic reenactments and real case files. Hosted by former FBI profiler Candice DeLong and narrated by Lynnanne Zager, the show originally aired as a miniseries in 2005 before becoming a full series in 2008. Over 14 seasons, it has built up a substantial history, documented in episode guides and reference materials.

‘Castle Impossible’ (2025)

HGTV’s series follows Daphne and Ian as they renovate a 500-year-old French chateau with a royal past. The show documents the challenges of fixing up the historic property – including structural repairs, design choices, and staying within budget – as they work on both the main house and its outbuildings. They strive to preserve the chateau’s history while making it comfortable to live in, and share extra updates with viewers online. The show is rated TV-G and features work from several directors.

‘Animals on Drugs’ (2025–present)

As a total nature doc junkie, I’m already hooked on this new series! It’s hosted by biologist Forrest Galante, and it looks at the crazy ways human drugs and alcohol are impacting wildlife. We’re talking alligators exposed to meth, and even hippos affected by cocaine – seriously! The show isn’t just about the problem though; it combines actual field research with forensic science and looks at what people are doing to help these animals and fix the damage. I’ve seen it’s being produced by Discovery Global Nature, and they’re filming all over North and South America. It’s set to premiere in 2025, and the episode descriptions online are wild – it sounds like a really fascinating, if disturbing, look at a hidden side of the natural world.
