Expedition Bigfoot Season 7: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 28, 2025, 12:04 IST Man, Expedition Bigfoot never fails to get the heart racing, does it? Season 6, which dropped on Discovery Channel back in January 2025, had us all on edge with those creepy nighttime howls and hints of Bigfoot nests. Now, with the finale leaving fans hungry for more, everyone's itching to know what's next. Let's dig into the latest chatter about Season 7's release date, who's coming back, and what wild stuff the team might tackle in their hunt for the big, furry legend. Release Date Rumors: When Will Expedition Bigfoot Season 7 Hit Screens? Alright, let's get real—nobody's got an official date for Season 7 yet. Discovery Channel's keeping us in suspense, but the show's track record gives some hints. Check this out: Season 4 hit screens in April 2023. Season 5 rolled out on August 14, 2024, with the U.K. getting it a month later. Season 6 kicked off January 22, 2025, with episodes like 'A Predator Calls' airing as late as March 5. So, what's the pattern? New seasons tend to drop every 8 to 16 months. Doing the math, Season 7 might land anywhere from August 2025 to March 2026. Late summer or early spring feels like a safe bet. Could it switch to Travel Channel again? Maybe. Keep an eye on Discovery's socials or Max for the big announcement. Until then, it's all about crossing fingers and rewatching old episodes! Cast Updates: Who's Returning for Expedition Bigfoot Season 7? The Expedition Bigfoot crew is what makes this show pop. Their mix of brains, guts, and straight-up obsession with Bigfoot keeps us hooked. Based on Seasons 5 and 6, here's who's probably strapping on their hiking boots again: Bryce Johnson : This guy's the glue of the team. Actor, Bigfoot nerd, and totally hooked since he saw the Patterson-Gimlin film as a kid. He's the one rallying everyone to keep searching, no matter how sketchy the woods get. : This guy's the glue of the team.

Dr. Mireya Mayor : Primatologist, explorer, and basically a real-life action hero. Her science chops make every footprint or weird hair sample way more legit. Plus, she's got stories for days. : Primatologist, explorer, and basically a real-life action hero. Her science chops make every footprint or weird hair sample way more legit. Plus, she's got stories for days. Russell Acord : This dude's a beast—literally rappelling down cliffs like it's no big deal. His survival skills and years chasing Bigfoot make him the go-to for crazy missions. : This dude's a beast—literally rappelling down cliffs like it's no big deal. His survival skills and years chasing Bigfoot make him the go-to for crazy missions. Biko Wright: Newer to the squad in Season 6, Biko's already a star. Whether he's howling into the night or staking out 'The Fork,' he brings this infectious energy. Now, there's always a chance for surprises. Season 5 had Ronny LeBlanc and Ryan Golembeske, but they took a backseat in Season 6. Will they pop back up? Or maybe a new expert joins the hunt? Fans are buzzing about it on X, and honestly, it's anyone's guess. What to Expect in Expedition Bigfoot Season 7: New Adventures and Bigfoot Breakthroughs Season 6 got wild with talk of Bigfoot family groups and possible nesting spots in Northern California. So, what's Season 7 got cooking? Here's what's got fans hyped: New Spots to Hunt The team's scoured places like Oregon and Washington, but Season 7 could shake things up. Picture them trudging through Alaska's snowy forests or Canada's remote wilderness—places folks on X keep mentioning as Bigfoot central. A new location means new tracks, new sounds, and maybe a better shot at catching Sasquatch on camera. Cooler Tech This show loves its gadgets—thermal cameras, AI to map sightings, you name it. Season 6 had those slick tripwires and tiny trackers. Season 7 might crank it up with stuff like souped-up mics to catch those freaky howls or drones zipping through the trees. The goal's always the same: hard proof Bigfoot's out there. Digging into Bigfoot's Life Season 6 dropped hints about breeding grounds, which is huge. Could Season 7 track a whole Bigfoot family? Maybe they'll find more tree structures or analyze those weird screams Biko and Mireya heard. Fans are dying for a clear video of not just one Sasquatch, but a group. Heart-Pounding Moments Let's be honest—the best part is when things get intense. Russell climbing a 700-foot cliff? Bryce spotting something creepy in the footage? Season 7's sure to deliver more late-night stakeouts, rustling bushes, and 'was that Bigfoot?!' moments that keep us glued to the screen.

Hulk Hogan, a polarizing wrestling star, always belonged to Tampa Bay
Like Bigfoot in a bandana, Hulk Hogan was the stuff of Tampa Bay legend. Locals traded stories of seeing the WWE hall of famer around town, locking eyes with him over the eggs at Nature's Food Patch in Clearwater or spotting his glistening blonde mustache as he zipped across a causeway in a convertible. Fans — of both wrestling and celebrity gossip — rushed to ogle Hogan slinging cans of his Real American Beer at Doc Ford's in St. Petersburg in 2024. When a teenager flipped her car on the Veteran's Expressway later in the year, two men pulled over, stabbed her airbags with a ballpoint pen and dragged her from the wreckage. One of them was Hogan. Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, died Thursday morning in Clearwater, according to city officials. He was 71. To some, Hogan was a campy cartoon superhero come to life. He sprung off television screens to T-shirts and action figures and lunch boxes, so popular in the 1980s and '90s that Make-A-Wish sent him to visit 20 sick kids per week. To others, he was a polarizing figure known for his vaccine denialism and his racial slurs caught on tape. He dabbled in politics, hopping onstage at Madison Square Garden in October in a feather boa to cheer for Donald Trump with a throaty 'Let's win this, brother!' Through it all, Hogan always belonged to Tampa Bay. 'He made his home here for so many years. He was a local celebrity for so many years,' said Barry Rose, who archives professional wrestling history in Florida. 'He was always portrayed as a kind of Florida guy.' A very Tampa childhood Like many Floridians, Hogan was born somewhere else. He entered the world at a Georgia hospital in August 1953, weighing 10 pounds and 7 ounces. He moved to Tampa as a child, where he became a junior bowling champion and imposing Little League pitcher. According to a story from Knight-Ridder Newspapers in 1987, Hogan weighed 190 pounds by the time he was 12. Hogan told the Tampa Bay Times in 2014 that he grew up 'south of Gandy by like two blocks, right behind the ABC Liquors.' On many a Fourth of July, he lit sparklers and watched fireworks through the palm trees at Ballast Point Pier. When an elbow injury ended his sports career at age 14, Hogan swapped his bat for a guitar. 'He rocked, playing bass guitar in bands called Koco, Ruckus and Infinity's End,' the Knight-Ridder story said. 'One memorable evening his junior year, he streaked stark naked across the dimly lit football field where Robinson High seniors were receiving their diplomas.' After graduating from Robinson High School, Hogan studied music and business at the University of South Florida. It was his bass guitar that brought him back to sports. Wrestling brothers Jerry and Jack Brisco saw Hogan slapping the bass at a Tampa bar. They recognized the bronzed behemoth, who was a regular in the audience at local wrestling matches. 'It looked really strange,' Jerry Brisco told Knight-Ridder Newspapers. 'Here was this huge guy, 6 foot 8, with what looked like a toothpick in his hands, playing bass guitar. He had blond hair, plenty of it and a headband.' Hogan started working out at the Tampa Sportatorium, a wrestling training facility. 'They exercised me till I was ready to faint,' Hogan told the Times in 2021. 'And then they got me in the ring, and Hiro Matsuda sat between my legs. He put his elbow in the middle of my shin, and he grabbed my toe, and he broke my leg. He just snapped my leg in half. So that was my introduction to wrestling.' By the mid-1980s, Vince McMahon brought wrestling, once a regional phenomenon, to the national level. Hogan was the perfect star to unite the country, with his matches airing on MTV and soundtracked by Cyndi Lauper. 'The other aspect was the merchandise,' Rose said. 'So you're bringing a lot of kids to professional wrestling. They've got a Hulk Hogan T-shirt, they've got the giant foam fingers, they're eating ice cream bars.' He was able to create a persona that people bought in right away, Rose said. 'I think if he had lived another 20 years or so, he would have still been 'Hulk Hogan.'' When he was wrestling, Hogan easily charmed crowds as the 'babyface,' or the good guy. He also could just as well play the 'heel,' wrestling's bad guy. The same could be said for his life outside the ring. A muddled legacy If Orlando has Mickey Mouse, Clearwater had the Hulkster. That's the thinking behind the wrestler's decision to open up Hogan's Beach, a restaurant on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. After the VH1 reality show 'Hogan Knows Best' showcased Hogan's life in 2005, swarms of fans started showing up to get a peek at his Clearwater house. 'My partner, Ben Mallah, has put his heart and soul into this place,' Hogan told the Times in 2014. 'He goes, 'You need a presence in Tampa. The tourists all come to Universal and Disney, and they're all looking for you.' And it's true.' Other local businesses followed. Hogan himself flexed his oily muscles at every 'brother!' that passed by. He posed for photographs and signed autographs (one viral photo, not necessarily taken in Clearwater, shows his signature in a copy of 'The Illead'). Hogan told the Times that he didn't want people to come all the way to his restaurant and not get a photo with him. 'This whole Hulkamania thing is international,' Hogan said in 2014. 'Sometimes that doesn't sink in with me. I think, 'American icon? Oh, okay.' To me, I'm still Terry from Tampa.' Then came the scandals. Among them: a leaked 2006 sex tape with the wife of Todd Clem, aka radio host Bubba the Love Sponge, that Gawker posted in 2012. Then another bombshell tape was posted in 2015. The second video, according to former Times columnist Daniel Ruth, showed Hogan 'engaging in a profanity F-bomb (laden) rant in which he repeatedly dropped more racist N-bombs than an Aryan Nation convention.' When online news outlets posted the clip, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. severed ties with Hogan. But the local sightings — and signings — continued. Hogan ventured to Sunset Music Festival (he liked to work out to dubstep music). He apologized profusely and publicly, with a special nod to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Tampa Bay, who he often worked with locally. Not everyone accepted his words, but within a few years, Hogan had patched up his public image enough to rejoin wrestling royalty. He once again became the face of WWE and Wrestlemania. 'This is special to me because I've lived here my whole life. I've traveled the whole world, lived in California, lived in Japan. This place, the quality of life, the people that live here, this is the greatest-kept secret,' Hogan told the Times in 2021, after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and before hosting WrestleMania 37 with Titus O'Neil. In fall 2023, Hogan wed yoga instructor Sky Daily at Indian Rocks Baptist Church. His engagement announcement at downtown St. Petersburg's Birchwood Inn two months prior had gone viral. 'The 70–year–old wore a black tuxedo with a black headband as he greeted his bride, 45, who was clad in a strapless lace gown," wrote the Times. 'My new life starts now,' Hogan posted on social media. In the hours following reports of Hogan's death, reporters, tourists and locals flooded Clearwater Beach. At Hogan's Beach Shop, supporters laid bouquets as tribute. Some passersby stopped to take pictures of the shop and its large Hogan mannequin inside. A woman held the hand of a young child, and stopped in front of the doors. 'Say goodbye?' the woman asked. The toddler looked up at the Hogan mannequin. 'Goodbye,' the toddler said. Times staff writers Lizzy Alspach, Alexa Coultoff and Christopher Spata contributed to this report. Information from the Tampa Bay Times archive was used. Solve the daily Crossword

Bigfoot Joins the Next Emoji Lineup Arriving in 2026
On World Emoji Day, the Unicode Consortium has given emoji fans something to look forward to with a sneak peek at new designs coming next year in Unicode 17.0. Among the standout additions? Bigfoot — officially called the 'hairy creature.' The fresh batch includes fun new icons like an apple core, ballet dancers, a distorted face, a fight cloud, an orca, a treasure chest, and a trombone. Unicode's Erik Thompson confirmed the new emoji will 'likely' land on devices by spring 2026. Though that seems far off, designing and approving emoji is a surprisingly complex process. To celebrate World Emoji Day, Apple has launched an exclusive emoji word game for Apple News Plus subscribers. Emojipedia has also relaunched letting users track real-time emoji trends around the globe. This new set is bound to add extra fun to everyday messages — and Bigfoot might just become everyone's new favourite.

Unicode's new emoji refuses to put respect on Bigfoot's name
The Unicode Consortium has announced that it's adding what's essentially a Bigfoot emoji to the open Unicode standard this fall. The famous cryptid will appear as "Hairy Creature" alongside a selection of other fun new emoji options in Unicode 17.0. It might seem strange that a consortium of companies as powerful as Apple, Google and Microsoft would practically subtweet one of North America's most famous semi-mythological creatures. But the global nature of Unicode makes avoiding region-specific nomenclature preferable whenever possible. To me, that's Bigfoot, plain and simple, but elsewhere in the world it might scan as a yowie, yeti, nuk-luk, hibagon, orang pendekor or an almas. Besides "Hairy Creature," Unicode 17.0 also includes the following new emoji additions: Trombone Treasure chest Distorted Face Fight Cloud Apple Core Orca Ballet Dancers Unicode 17.0 is slated to be released on September 9, 2025, but these new emoji likely won't be added to Android and iOS until a bit after the standard is updated. You'll just have to make do with what you can create with Genmoji or Emoji Kitchen while you wait.

Second Auckland Show Added For Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire As Kiwis Prioritise ‘Joy Spending'
Press Release – Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire organisers have added a second show at Eden Park, Auckland on Sunday, 5 October, following overwhelming demand from thousands of multi-generational New Zealand fans. Promoter TEG today confirmed that the Auckland 4 October event has officially sold the most tickets for a single show in the history of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, which has toured across North America, Europe and Australia for the past seven years.

Kiwi families are proving that they will show up in massive numbers when the entertainment on offer ticks that perfect combination of boxes, fun, whānau and excitement.
