Expedition X will kick off its 12th season with an episode set in Nottingham and focused on the legend of Robin Hood. Discovery Channel’s new season will premiere on August 19, 2026, with new episodes airing on Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT.
Adventurer Josh Gates, scientist Phil Torres, and paranormal investigator Heather Amaro return to investigate some of the strangest mysteries and potential paranormal occurrences around the world. In season 12, the team explores the Skinwalker legend and haunted battlefields. Season 12 wraps up with Jack Osbourne’s return for a Revolutionary War investigation.
Discovery Channel’s description of the new Expedition X season reads: “In a special two-part season premiere, Heather Amaro and Phil Torres travel to Nottingham, England – home to the famed Robin Hood legend – to explore if centuries of bloodshed have left behind a terrifying paranormal legacy. After reviewing reports of mysterious figures, ghostly apparitions, and unexplained phenomena, the team investigates several notorious hotspots including Nottingham’s centuries-old underground cave systems, medieval dungeons, Newstead Abbey, and the depths of Sherwood Forest itself. As evidence mounts, Amaro and Torres confront a haunting question: are the legends of Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest rooted in history, folklore, or something far more sinister?
Later this season, the team ventures into one of the Navajo Nation’s most notoriously cursed valleys to investigate chilling encounters with the elusive Skinwalker, joining forces with a local expert to explore a cave rumored to be the creature’s lair. They also uncover reports of aggressive paranormal activity across Guam’s historic World War II battlefields, where echoes of the island’s violent past still linger. Then, in a special mission honoring America’s 250th birthday, the team reunites with paranormal investigator Jack Osbourne to track Revolutionary War spirits believed to still roam the war-torn battlegrounds surrounding the Brandywine River.”
