Plot Synopsis

INTO THE UNKNOWN is a one-hour reality series that follows adventurer and survivalist Cliff Simon, as he makes his way through forbidding landscapes to explore some of the most nightmarish myths of all time. Part investigation, part travelogue, and part survival lesson, Cliff ventures solo -- deep into one extreme wilderness to the other -- determined to uncover the source of these scary stories. That means using all his skills to hike, swim, and crawl into places most people wouldn't ever dare go. Along the way, scientists, shamans, historians, and witnesses all provide clues that shed light on these dark secrets that often defy explanation. And while local guides help plan his route, Cliff always heads out on his own in search of infamous legends like the bat-winged Jersey Devil, California's Mojave Sandman, the deadly Night Marchers of Hawaii, and many more.

"The Rougarou" (Monday, July 27, 2020 at 11pm): Simon heads deep into the heart of the Louisiana bayou where, according to legend, lurks a swamp monster known as the Rougarou -- a fearsome werewolf-like beast that feeds on human flesh. Simon is determined to track down its lair, and that will mean fighting his way through the largest -- and deadliest -- swamp in America, the sprawling Atchafalaya Basin. Covering 1.4 million acres of untouched Louisiana wetlands, narrowing down the search is critical. During his journey, Simon meets with a Cajun family who share footage of a strange beast walking on two legs and meets with a First Nations chief who describes her chilling encounter with a powerful shapeshifter. Simon then heads into the bayou at night, alone, with his GPS tracker set for an ancient burial site. Along the way he uncovers a giant abandoned nest littered with bleached bones. Will he have his own encounter with the Rougarou?

"The Legend of Mount Shasta" (Monday, August 3, 2020 at 11pm): Considered sacred by Native Americans and New Age spiritualists alike, California's Mount Shasta is a dormant volcano with a supernatural reputation. Over the years, dozens of people have vanished here without a trace and now -- armed with the latest high-tech gear -- Cliff Simon searches for both scientific and paranormal explanations.

"The Mojave Sandman" (Monday, August 10, 2020 at 11pm): In the haunting and inhospitable desert of Southern California, Cliff Simon is in search of the infamous Mojave Sandman. Sightings of a hairy ape-like creature also known as the Yeti, Sasquatch and Bigfoot have made headlines for decades. While Simon is determined to make a contribution to the ongoing investigation, he increasingly has the feeling that he's the one being tracked.

"The Brown Mountain Lights" (Monday, August 17, 2020 at 11pm): The Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina are one of the greatest mysteries on the continent, and Cliff Simon is on an eerie recon mission to find out more. For over a century, people have witnessed strange orb-like lights that rise up and hover above this largely unexplored wilderness. And the only way to find out more is to spend the night in an area where people have been known to disappear.

"The Night Marchers" (Monday, August 24, 2020 at 11pm): According to ancient Hawaiian legend, the Night Marchers are the ghosts of long-dead warriors who rise on the darkest nights of the year to march in a terrifying procession through the islands. Facing his deepest fears, Cliff Simon is determined to encounter this bone-chilling phenomenon himself and arrives on the Big Island a few days before the dark moon.

"The Jersey Devil" (Monday, August 31, 2020 at 11pm): The sprawling Pine Barrens of New Jersey are said to be home to the Jersey Devil -- a terrifying mythical creature with bat wings, a long tail and a horse's head. The legend first surfaced 300 years ago, and with a recent spike in sightings, Cliff Simon is determined to track it down for himself.
