Animal Planet has announced they’ve renewed their documentary series Finding Bigfoot for a third season. That’s a little strange since many sources believe that the show is currently airing its fourth season. Apparently, Animal Planet has their own way of breaking up their episodes.
Here are the details:
THE SEARCH FOR BIGFOOT CONTINUES…
ANIMAL PLANET’S HIT SERIES “FINDING BIGFOOT” RENEWED FOR THIRD SEASON
— Season Two Premieres Delivered 1.2 Million P2+ Viewers —
(New York, New York) – After setting foot in 33 states and five countries, the FINDING BIGFOOT team is still feverishly on the hunt for the elusive Sasquatch. As the evidence continues to mount, investigators Cliff Barackman, James “Bobo” Fay, Ranae Holland and Matt Moneymaker are closer than ever to uncover the truth behind the hairy beast. And with FINDING BIGFOOT hunting down 1.2 M P2+ viewers this season and ranking among Animal Planet’s top three performing series of all time among P25-54 (653K), this hunt isn’t ending any time soon! Today, Animal Planet announces the third-season renewal of the hit series, rolling out with 12 brand new episodes later this fall.
FINDING BIGFOOT continues to find new believers with 41% more W25-54 watching than season one. And in 1Q13, FINDING BIGFOOT helped Animal Planet rank among the top 10 ad-supported cable nets in the 10 PM timeslot based on M25-54 delivery (excluding movies and sports).
FINDING BIGFOOT investigates compelling evidence that may prove the existence of this elusive creature, with a team uses unconventional methodologies and new technologies to lure the creature from behind the shadows to get physical video and/or audio evidence to prove that there is a community of these sasquatches among us! The intrepid cast of investigators – Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) president Matt Moneymaker, researchers James “Bobo” Fay and Cliff Barackman, and skeptical scientist Ranae Holland – has traveled across the U.S. and followed up on evidence and first-hand eyewitness accounts. Now, the cast continues its international searches and re-visits some of the “squatchier” locations to uncover startling evidence of the mysterious and highly intelligent enigma that has eluded capture for centuries and fascinated man for just as long.
FINDING BIGFOOT is produced for Animal Planet by Ping Pong Productions. Keith Hoffman is the executive producer and Hillary Tholen is associate producer for Animal Planet. Brad Kuhlman and Casey Brumels are executive producers and Chad Hammel is the co-executive producer for Ping Pong Productions.

When is Big Foot returning. I just started to watch it again and now it is off air again makes so sence. Please bring it back.
When is the program coming back on? It just gets started then it drops of the TV without notice. I love this program!!!! I don’t understand why the team makes so much noise when all the people interviewed have encounter one in a natural or quiet state.
When is Finding Big Foot coming back. The show just got started and all of a sudden stops? I love this program!!! One thing I don’t understand is, why the team feel it is so necessary to make so much noise when the general public encounter them being quiet or in a natural state.

My husband started watching with me and now we can’t watch our Finding Bigfoot, love this show, when it was broadcast all day I cancelled everything to just sit and enjoy which is un-usual for me as I have so much else to do. Please return our favorite show !
The spin off or copy cat shows are a joke with a bunch of old guys that can’t even move building stupid usless traps walking around in the dark only to play on peoples fear. I have always wondered why not Bigfoot because of so many sightings and history. Some of the locations I thought was a waste of time do to the low number of sightings. I know there stories from all across the USA. The hot spot everyone knows is the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. I would not change the team at all. I would have them go… Read more »

Great to have Finding Bigfoot back on the air. Enjoying the new shows as well as the re-runs !
I love that show…I hope it goes on for a few more years. It is something a family can watch together. The group is quirky but I like them…Who isn’t quirky?
Thrilled to watch the new series of Finding Bigfoot as well as older reruns. Great Show !
What I really dislike is when the series is broken up and it could be weeks between a show broadcasted mid-season or so, then resumes weeks later. I was more intrigued the first season and slightly beyond when the crew seemed more intent on being serious. Later episodes became a bit outlandish as the crew seemed to be reaching in their bag of tricks. Almost as if they were taking cue from write-in ideas? There was numerous commentary as to what Bigfoots liked, did, or was customary. .. so why keep trying Disco in the forest, or the candy bars,… Read more »
Love this show ! The Bigfoot Foursome are quirky and just a tad odd. I have very much missed the show for a few months now, look forward to season 5 !
Awesome show. My favorite series on Animal Planet.
Love the show..hope to see season 5.
Will there be a season 5 of finding Bigfoot it’s my favorite show
Love the show! Especially Ranae. The guys come to some wild conclusions but her tongue-in-cheek remarks are humorous yet respectful. Keep up the good work!
