AMC GLOBAL MEDIA ANNOUNCES NEW SHOCKING DOCU-SERIES, "ARCHIVE X: UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA"

6-Part Series Investigates Real Encounters with Strange Forces and Otherworldly Events Through Unprecedented Access to Rice University's Center for the Impossible, a Collection Preserving Historical Records on UFOs, the Paranormal, Human Consciousness and Beyond

Premiering Thursday, October 1 on SundanceTV, AMC+ and All Reality

NEW YORK - August 25, 2026 - AMC Global Media today announced that the fascinating 6-part docu-series Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena is set to premiere on Thursday, October 1 at 10pm ET/PT on SundanceTV, AMC+ and All Reality, with new episodes premiering weekly on all platforms. A riveting first-look teaser was also released. Hosted by Professor Jeffrey J. Kripal, one of the leading scholars of extraordinary human experiences, Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena builds upon Rice University's Center for the Impossible, one of the world's largest collections of paranormal research, by inviting everyday individuals, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, to reveal their new and personal encounters with unexplained phenomena.

The stories told on Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena add to a trove already containing over one million pieces of evidence - collected for nearly a century - investigating telepathy, near-death experiences, UFO encounters, alien abductions, prophetic dreams, and messages from the beyond. Included in the series is work by Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John E. Mack and bestselling author Whitley Strieber. Together their accounts raise a larger question at the heart of Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena - what if these seemingly separate mysteries are not separate at all?
