BuzzFeed Unsolved

BuzzFeed Unsolved (also known as simply Unsolved) is a weekly web series on BuzzFeed's YouTube channel, BuzzFeed Unsolved Network, that also streams on Amazon Prime, Facebook, and Hulu.

The series started in 2016, with the first few episodes originally being a part of BuzzFeed's IRL series, and was created by Ryan Bergara. It stars Bergara and co-star Shane Madej. The series is divided into BuzzFeed Unsolved True Crime, which deals with unsolved crimes, and BuzzFeed Unsolved Supernatural, which deals with paranormal mysteries and ghost hunting. Most episodes were followed by a question and answer episode, entitled BuzzFeed Unsolved Postmortem, where Bergara and Madej answered questions sent in by viewers about the week's episode.

True Crime ended with its 8th and final season in July 2021, while Supernatural started with its 7th and final season in October 2021 and ended in November. There are fifteen seasons in total. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Supernatural has one less season than True Crime because production was unable to secure haunted locations to visit under quarantine. The final episode was followed up by a behind-the-scenes documentary BuzzFeed Unsolved: The Making of the Final Investigation on November 24, 2021.

About
The Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime & Supernatural shows were hosted by Ryan Bergara and co-hosted by Shane Madej, who took over from the original co-host, Brent Bennett, in late 2016.

There are three fan groups based around each host. Those who believe in ghosts like Bergara are the "Boogaras" and those who are skeptics like Madej are the "Shaniacs". An additional group based upon fans who do not fall into either are called "Shitfishes."
