Date Set: When Does Mountain Monsters Season 8 Start?
Mountain Monsters Season 8
Was Mountain Monsters cancelled or renewed for season 8? When does it start on TRVL Channel? Who will be returning for the new season? In this post, we have summarized everything we know so far about the next season.
What Is Mountain Monsters About?
There are creatures both legendary and unidentified roaming the Appalachian Mountains, and a band of hard-core hunters and trappers have made it their life’s work to investigate them. For generations, supposed sightings of these monsters — with such names as Wolfman, Devil Dog, Wampus Beast, Mothman and Lizard Demon — have occurred along the 1,500-mile stretch of mountains, and it wasn’t until the members of the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings had their own personal encounters with these creatures that they became believers. Now, the AIMS crew, led by founders “Trapper” John Tice, Jeff Headlee and Willy McQuillian, use both traditional techniques and modern technology to track, trap and capture these monsters. Maybe AIMS will snag its first one while cameras are filming “Mountain Monsters”!
ONE LAST HOORAH FOR TRAPPER!
THE APPALACHIAN INVESTIGATORS OF MYSTERIOUS SIGHTINGS TEAM HONORS THEIR BELOVED LEADER JOHN ‘TRAPPER’ TICE IN NEW ONE-HOUR SPECIAL, ‘MOUNTAIN MONSTERS: A TRIBUTE TO TRAPPER,’ ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 3 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT
SEASON FIVE OF ‘MOUNTAIN MONSTERS’ CONTINUES TRAPPER’S LEGACY ON A NEW WILD ADVENTURE BEGINNING ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 10 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT
John Tice, affectionally known as “Trapper,” was the founder and leader of the Appalachian Investigations of Mysterious Sightings team (AIMS) that gave rise to the cult-classic series “Mountain Monster.” Sadly, Trapper passed away in December 2019, after a prolonged illness. “Mountain Monsters: A Tribute to Trapper,” premiering on Sunday, January 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, pays tribute to Tice, with the AIMS team sharing their favorite memories and moments with him over the years as they investigated cryptids throughout the woods of Appalachia.
The surviving members meet up for the first time after Trapper’s passing to discuss the team’s future and embark on adventures during seven one-hour episodes and a two-hour season finale of Season Five of “Mountain Monsters,” premiering on Sunday, January 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The AIMS team reads a personal letter from Trapper and heads out on a brand new adventure that he set up for them before he passed. Equipped with his personal journal filled with everything he ever learned about the woods, the team travels to the mountains of the Tygart Valley on a mission to prove that there are still wolves in West Virginia. A bounty put on them, and the last wolf was said to have been killed in 1900. The team encounters local farmers who tell of a dangerous predator that has been killing their livestock. The team soon believes that not only are there wolves in the Tygart Valley, but there is something much more mysterious and deadly.
“After the tragic loss of Trapper, we recognized the importance of finding a way to celebrate his life with our AIMS-obsessed fans and then continue his mission,” says Matthew Butler, general manager, Travel Channel. “What makes the new season so special is that the squad was eager to carry on Trapper’s legacy and head back to the forest, set on following his life’s work including intense hunts, thrilling twists and hillbilly hilarity.”
Throughout the season, the team learns from locals of massive K9 cryptids with glowing red eyes that inhabit the land and are known by locals as Smoke Wolves. As they dig deeper, they realize that Trapper in fact knew about these creatures back in the 1970s. The team spends time trying to figure out if this is what Trapper meant about the wolves of West Virginia. Then, to add to the monster fun, the team realizes there is a Bigfoot lurking, terrorizing the area as well.
By the end of the season, the team understands why Trapper sent them to the Tygart Valley. They come full circle as Trapper’s daughter is filled in on their incredible findings. And Huckleberry has a Bigfoot surprise for the ages in a twist ending no one sees coming.
The last episode of the series was released on March 7, 2021 in the US.

I suspect the Hicks will be back for a Season 8 soon just due to the fact that Discovery Channel started playing the already released episodes recently which usually means get ready for more. Also they need to pick up where they left off on the last episode of Season 7.

Please bring the show back. Been watching since the show first aired.
People would love it if you made another season of Mountain Monsters
RIP TRAPPER
My family and I love watching Mountain Monsters
The show is funny, but a total fake. You have a bunch of heavy guys who would be dead meat if chased by any monsters. They don't have the right weapons and instead of thermal camera they should be using night vision goggles, but that would be out of their budget.
Pure good hearted entertainment. Hope the guys come back for another season. I enjoy watching the guys kid each other, as well as the "creatures" they hunt and try to trap.
This show is awesome and I watch over and over all the time please keep these guys going would love for them to get back after spear finger and more absolutely love this Show and all the cast
Loved mountain monsters. Hope it gets more seasons. Can't wait to watch it.
I love watching the show. Itโs just too funny. I know itโs fake as can be but man they make me laugh. I met some of the guys a few years ago at a paranormal convention. They are a fun and wild bunch. Great guys and Iโd love to see more episodes.
I love this program so please continue it for many years with what is left of the team after Trappers Death RIP
Please renew Mountain Monsters. Love the crazy guys. They are great.
It is the greatest on TV hopefully it gets renewed for season 8 me and my mom watch it and love it
