Genre: Documentary Series, Docu-Drama, History
Hosted by actor Danny Trejo (Machete), the eight-episode series will reveal the history behind some of the world's most significant discoveries, found in the most unexpected ways.
From hidden treasures and sacred objects, to astounding animal artifacts and secret underground tunnels, the world is full of items and areas that have yet to be revealed.
Mysteries Unearthed with Danny Trejo examines the fascinating stories surrounding buried artifacts and lost civilizations, shedding light, and offering new insight and information, on various mysteries of the past and present.
Anchored by Trejo's affinity for history and his natural curiosity into exploring the unknown and coupled with archival material, expert interviews and recreations, the series seeks to unearth what the human eye cannot easily detect, as objects, structures and creatures concealed under earth, ice and water are suddenly, and often accidentally, revealed.
From national treasures like a 1938 Superman comic book worth a quarter of a million dollars and custom Tiffany & Co. stained glass windows to explosive discoveries such as a WWI chemical weapons plant and remnants of a killer asteroid twice the size of the Superdome, these are the stories of extraordinary things uncovered by chance.
In the Season 2 premiere, "National Treasures": From a bat swung by one of baseball's boldest pioneers, to an iconic painting hidden behind a false wall, these astonishing finds prove that America's greatest treasures can turn up in the most unlikely places.

Gush'lyf is a high-octane reality ride that follows four fearless car spinners as they skid through life's curves, burn emotional rubber and chase more than just accolades.
Behind the wheel, they are not just showing off - every cloud of smoke is a story and every drift reveals unfiltered stories of personal journeys, family, healing and passion.
Ngozi (Gift Zulu) is the soft-spoken drifter who has spent a lifetime dodging emotional 'potholes'.
Now a father himself, he is racing toward healing and ancestral reconnection, while dreaming of going back to school.
Dankie Darlie aka Queen of Smoke (Nalo Dzhivhuho) is a calculated risk-taker with a broken heart and a booming hustle.
Crowned the queen of the spinning scene, she doesn't spin for applause - she spins for survival.
Moreover, she is a widow whose husband died mysteriously in 2015, and she is still seeking answers on what really caused her husband's death.
Poroza (Mpho Diloro) lives life with no traction control.
An archivist by day and a spinner by night, he is chasing answers about his family name while carving his own legacy in smoke and steel.
Mzet aka Moruti (Collie Golden), the reformed outlaw with a holy twist.
Once a notorious car thief, now a spiritual spinner and streetwise protector, he is rewriting his story one drift at a time.
Gush'lyf follows their wild journeys across showgrounds and personal battlegrounds, all culminating in the biggest national spinning showdown of the year.
Expect high-stakes battles, raw emotional moments, deep family bonds and plenty of kasi flavour.
