Using hi-tech kit and DNA sampling, Mireya and the gang head to the North California's Lost Coast – a rumored "breeding ground" – to locate a nesting site and track what they believe to be a family of Bigfoots. No spoilers, but going by the film crew's Reddit posts, there's a few hairy surprises coming your way... 

Bigfoot – aka Sasquatch, Yeti, WoodApe, Treeman – has existed in folklore for centuries. DNA hair samples remain inconclusive, as does the veracity of the famous Patterson/Gimlin footage, shot at Bluff Creek in 1967. But if it is just a man in a suit, why do the thigh muscles ripple like a real ape's?  

You probably won't get many answers from the 2024 season of "Expedition Bigfoot", but it'll be fun to see what the team come up with. Read on for how to watch and stream "Expedition Bigfoot" season 5 online and from anywhere.
