Mountain Monsters is an American cryptozoology-themed reality television series airing on Travel Channel. It originally premiered on June 22, 2013, on Destination America. The series follows the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (A.I.M.S) team, a band of six native West Virginian hunters and trappers, as they research and track unidentified creatures in the Appalachian Mountains. There is also a side-series titled Mountain Monsters: By The Fire that features extra facts and never-before-seen footage from different episodes of the series.
The series aired for five seasons on Destination America.[2] After an 18-month hiatus, it was announced that the series was renewed for a sixth season and would be moving to Travel Channel.[3]
In 2021 it was announced that a TV special titled Mountain Monsters: A Tribute to Trapper would premiere on January 3, 2021. It was also announced that the seventh season will premiere on January 10, 2021.[4] It was announced shortly after the premiere of Season 7 that new episodes would be streaming exclusively on Discovery+.[5]
The official Mountain Monsters Instagram account revealed on December 10, 2021, that an eighth season would premiere in January 2022.[6] The season premiered on 2 January 2022 and ran for 10 episodes, ending its run on 13 March 2022.[7]
Travel Channel has renewed Mountain Monsters for a ninth season. Filming for season 9 will begin in 2024.
Season 9 is expected to appear in late 2024 or early 2025. The delay is due to the strike in 2023.
