The show is a mystery documentary series that focuses on cold cases and paranormal events.

The news of the release date was revealed today as part of Netflix’s official “Netflix and Chills” lineup for the month of October. Most of the shows were already known to be released in time for Halloween, but the news underscores how jam-packed October will be. The full Netflix and Chills lineup is as follows: September will see the release of Queen Latifah and Ludacris' crime thrillerEnd of the Road(Sep. 9), the kidnapping mystery filmLou(Sep. 23), and the children’s seriesPhantom Pups(Sep. 30). In the first full week of October, viewers get theStephen King filmMr. Harrigan’s Phone(Oct. 5), the Mike Flanagan seriesThe Midnight Club(Oct. 7), and the true crime documentary seriesConversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes(Oct. 7).
The second week will see the release of the animated horror-comedy seriesDead End: Paranormal Parkseason 2 (Oct. 13), the Marlon Wayans action comedy filmThe Curse of Bridge Hollow(Oct. 14), and Volume 3 ofUnsolved Mysteries(Oct. 18). In the third week, viewers get the fantasy seriesThe School for Good and Evil(Oct. 19) andGuillermo del Toro’s horror anthology seriesCabinet of Curiosities(Oct. 25). The final week of October will be haunted by the presence of the crime drama filmThe Good Nurse(Oct. 26; also set for a theatrical release on Oct. 19), the animated fantasy seriesDaniel Spellbound(Oct. 27), and the animated adventure comedyWendell and Wild, which is co-written by Jordan Peele (Oct. 28).
The young adult seriesThe Bastard Son and the Devil Himselfis also scheduled to release sometime in October but does not yet have a firm date. Furthermore, several properties are scheduled for later in the year: the true crime documentary filmCapturing the Killer Nurse(Nov. 11), the Norwegian fantasy horror filmTroll(Dec. 1), and theAddams Familyreboot seriesWednesday(sometime in Fall). Somewhat surprising from these announcements is the fact thatJenna Ortega’sWednesdayserieswill not release in time for October, and that it still does not have a firm release date. However, filming only concluded on March 30, so the series is most likely just not finished yet. In addition, there is a notable absence from the lineup: Rob Zombie’sThe Munstersreboot. The film is slated for a September 27 release on Netflix, and Zombie had stated on his Instagram thatThe MunstersandWednesdaywould air at the same time, a nod to when the two series had competed on the airwaves back in the 1960s.
It’s quite unusual that Netlix’s press release would mention properties releasing months after Halloween, but notThe Munstersonly a few days before the start of October. Although we can only speculate, it seems Netflix may have left it off the list because of negative reactions to the first trailer and will attempt to release it quietly.
Unsolved Mysteries Volume 3releases on Netflix on July 02, 2025.
