IT’S SQUATCHIN’ SEASON! THE BOYS OF DESTINATION AMERICA’S “MOUNTAIN MONSTERS” ARE BACK, BUT THIS TIME BIGFOOT IS THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES
(Silver Spring, Md.) – For four years, the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS) have fought a tooth-and-nail battle to trap mysterious monsters that threaten the safety of mountain communities. They’ve hunted Bigfoot, Sheepsquatch, Hellhounds and dozens of other beasts, but along the way the tables turned. Now these lifelong hunters are being hunted by a masked rival team with ulterior, dangerous motives. AIMS continues their mission to investigate monsters in an all-new eight-episode season of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS premiering Saturday, April 8 at 10/9c on Destination America.
“This season more than ever before, MOUNTAIN MONSTERS puts the AIMS team front and center as they respond to the challenge of their rivals,” said Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. “As the team jumps back into investigating monsters like they do best, their personal relationships and group dynamics will be tested in the most epic battle of man versus beast yet.”
In the special two-part premiere airing Saturday, April 8 and Saturday, April 15, after nine months of radio silence from the enigmatic “Rogue Team” – a shadowy foe that has been relentlessly thwarting AIMS’ investigations for years – youngest AIMS team member Buck takes matters into his own hands to get answers once and for all. Buck’s bold actions cause a rift among his mountain brothers Trapper, Willy, Jeff, Huckleberry, and Wild Bill as they weigh their own personal safety against a chance to lure the Rogue Team out from the shadows. While tensions rise, a whole new mission awaits AIMS in a dark place they have been before, a place they fear with new questions, mysteries, and monsters.
AIMS’ new journey begins in the episode airing Saturday, April 22 as they travel to Lee County, Va. Despite attempting to ease into the investigation, danger finds them quickly as the forest’s evil forces wake up to their arrival and target Jeff. There’s more supernatural warfare ahead than the team had bargained for, but will they rise to complete the quest? Find out in the most intense, suspenseful, and emotionally charged season of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS yet.
For a refresher on how AIMS got to where they are, catch up with a weeklong MOUNTAIN MONSTERS WEEK marathon of every episode from the very beginning starting Monday, April 3 and continuing through the premiere on Saturday, April 8.
MOUNTAIN MONSTERS is produced for Destination America by American Chainsaws with Colt Straub, Duke Straub, Royal Malloy, Russell Geyser and Jay Bluemke as executive producers. For Destination America, Cathy Garland is executive producer, Jane Latman is general manager, and Henry Schleiff is Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, and American Heroes Channel.

Who know what is real humans don’t know everything or we would not be in the mess our country is in.PLEASE KEEP IT On i t is the only show out over over 300 channels i never miss
you need to bring mountain monsters back it’s a popular show why would you want to cancel it like the saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it you have a number one show with a lot of followers so PLEASE BRING IT BACK Thank You
Please don’t cancel Mountain Monsters it’s the best show around. I even tape it just incase I am not home. I watch it and can’t wait until the new season starts. Why are you going to cancel it? When you have a great show then you go and cancel it that makes no sense. That is what is wrong with TV cancelling shows that are interesting. Please keep it we love the guys.
I can’t wait to see the new show I too hope that they do not cancel the show when the was on I could not wait for the show to back on that night .PLEASE BRING IT BACK SOON. Thank you Mary
Just wish it was on a channel I could see! Thanks for being out there guys & God Bless.
Our family is anxiously awaiting a new season 6! Hoping Trapper will continue his recovery and be at HQ for the guys. Like Huck says about Trapper, “mentally that old man’s sharper than a d*** tack.” Mountain Monsters is one of the few shows on TV appropriate for a family to watch together, please keep it on!
Mountain Monsters is a great entertainment for the whole family. We need more good wholesome family shows. I know John Tice has had health problems and I wish him the best but he is replaceable. It sucks to get old.
do not cancel mountain monsters. It is a good show. we love it why would you cancel something that good
This show is so great! My husband and I watch with our middle school sons! They love it ! Hope there are more seasons to come!
This season has been a real bust. It started going down hill when they did the two part show about the Cherokee Devil. But this season they have Buck acting tough and wanting to fist fight someone in their 60’s. It is no longer a family friendly show. A lot of viewers have stop watching. I really don’t think it will make it to season 6.
I don’t think anyone has stop watching it. Just you and yes it is still a family friendly show better than that other stuff out there. If you don’t like that is your issues not the rest of us. please don’t cancel Mountain Monster’s there are a lot of us that still love to watch it.
My wife is bugging me to buy episodes of season 5, but I cannot find out where to go to purchase them. Very fustrating since there are only a few clips on YouTube. It says $1.99 to buy full episodes, but nothing else on how to purchase one episode. She loves the show, and I watch some too. Now the full episodes are not on anymore. She is very ill, and cannot do due much. Has always loved the show.S
Please help AIMS team!
I purchased the season on Google play store
WOW, intense they are really stepping up their game! Instead of the same old trap that doesn’t get filled they are expanding the horizo. Changing the format really wanting to make the show not only the best on Destination but compete with the big boys. Good luck. I think you found a good formula!
I love the show, I hope there is a season 6
Keep this series going !
I love this show! I bought the previous seasons on Apple iTunes and plan to get this one too. The guys are great people. It was awful when the rogue team shot that Bigfoot out from under them. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
