Who is new Unsolved Mysteries host?

In an interview given to a media portal, Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix’s creators revealed that they debated for a long time as to how to go about the reboot’s format. The creators added that they even thought of using an unseen narrator. However, after many tedious deliberations, the makers realised that no one would be able to fill in the shoes of the late Robert Stack, who was an iconic host of the show from 1987 to 2002. 

Hence, the makers decided to change the format of the new show. The creators of the show added that they interview family members and law enforcement agencies to add authenticity of every story. Moreover, they also go to the location of the crime in order to get more sense of each case. They also abstain from narrowing down to one point of view. Instead, they have focused on creating a balanced story in every episode.
