Author and podcast host Steven Rinella dives into some of America’s strangest mysteries on the History Channel’s Hunting History with Steven Rinella. The eight-episode season premieres on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 10pm ET/PT.
Among the mysteries explored on season one are the cattle mutilations in the American West and what really happened to skyjacker D.B. Cooper.
“The stories of past explorers and adventurers remind us that a thirst for danger and wild places is firmly rooted in the human spirit. These stories teach us resilience and they deepen our connection to the natural world,” stated host and executive producer Rinella. “In Hunting History, we’re diving into the intersection of historical mysteries and the wild. We push the boundaries of what is known and understood, and we explore the ways in which nature always has the upper hand.”
Warm Springs Productions’ Marc Pierce, Morgan Fallon, Ben Ford, and Chris Richardson serve as executive producers, along with Rinella and Katie Finch for MeatEater. The History Channel’s Eli Lehrer, Mary E. Donahue, Max Micallef, and Alex Hicks also executive produce.
