Expedition Unknown is an American reality television series produced by Ping Pong Productions, which follows explorer, archeologist and television presenter Josh Gates as he investigates mysteries and legends. The 15th season premiered on June 18, 2025.

History

Expedition Unknown premiered on January 8, 2015, on the Travel Channel^[1]^[2] and broadcast seasons 1-4.^[3]^[4]^[5] At the start of the 5th season in 2018, the series moved to the Discovery Channel, which became its new home.^[6]

In February 2020, a spinoff Expedition X premiered on Discovery. The series focuses on paranormal subjects and is hosted by Gates with Phil Torres, Jessica Chobot (seasons 1-7), and Heather Amaro (season 8-). The eighth season of Expedition X premiered on August 14, 2024.

In April 2020, Gates debuted Josh Gates Tonight, a talk show spinoff on Discovery which originated as replacement programming during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series features Gates interviewing celebrity guests via videoconference.^[7]^[8]^[9] The series last aired in 2022 with its 5th season.

In May 2021, Gates and camera operator Brian Weed visited OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush to test out the Titan submersible, with plans to eventually film a dive to the Titanic wreck on the Titan for an episode of Expedition Unknown. A planned test dive in the Puget Sound with Gates and Weed onboard had to be scrubbed after multiple technical issues, and on the journey back Gates grew suspicious of Rush's lack of care for basic safety and brushing over the fact that the Titan was neither certified nor had been properly tested at the depths of the Titanic. Feeling it would be unethical to promote Oceangate to potential customers, Gates asked the network to cancel the planned episode, and the Titan later imploded during a dive to the Titanic in 2023, killing Rush and four others. Footage from Gates' visit was shown in the 2025 HBO documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster, with contemporary interviews of Gates recalling his concerns.^[10]^[11]
