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 love watching Mountain Monsters. The cast is perfect. I’m a WV boy and there’s nothing better than watching these guys have fun with the stereotypes. Please continue the show as long as they are willing to be on TV.
Love Mountain Monsters. Great entertainment.
Please don't leave us hanging. I can't wait for the next season to start. I love to show so please keep it coming. You can't wait to see what the characters are get into next.
I love mountain monsters, please renew them
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RENEW THE SHOW. ITS THE BEST COMFORT SHOW IVE FOUND.
Your going to put a show on TV called Look out white people,but not mountain monsters. Your going to loose most of your viewing audience. You are headed in a very bad direction,please don’t screw this up. This country is going to have a wave roll over it,and you want to be on the top of that wave because if your on the bottom you could drown. Think about it.
We look forward to Mountain Monsters on Travel Channel each week! Please continue this
series which is more than entertaining. The story lines take the team into beautiful and often familiar settings, interacting with interesting people in their travels. The last episode in the Summer of 2021 was a cliffhanger; any chance of picking up where that left off? This
show is a good watch for families. Again, please give it more life!
Please do not cancel Mountian Monsters love the show. I look forword to watching it!!!!
Please renew Mountain Monsters!! It's my very favorite show. The AIMS Team seems like family to me. I'm a shut-in and it brings back memories of my childhood in Northern Alabama.
Love this show! I have watched every season several times over. As a matter of fact I am watching it right now. Please renew this show!
I miss the boys on mountain monsters I watch them all the time and wonder about spear finger what happened and will they finish it one love watching them they make me laugh
Please bring the the Mountain Monsters back. I have watched it sense the very beginning. This team is like our on family. With everything going in this world we need the laughs. They are great.
