Jessica Chobot Announces New Show After Leaving Expedition X (And It Looks Great)

by

After leaving her role on the popular supernatural series *Expedition X*, Jessica Chobot has announced her next television project. She hosted *Expedition X* on Discovery for seven seasons, but decided to pursue her own reality show with the network in 2024. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about her new show ever since, and now the wait is over.

Jessica Chobot announced her next TV project on Instagram, following her departure from Expedition X. The new Discovery series, called Bigfoot Took Her, blends the true crime genre with the supernatural, as Chobot and her team delve into the puzzling disappearance of Theresa Ann Bier.

In the late 1980s, sixteen-year-old Bier disappeared while hiking in the forests of Northern California with a local man. Some people think she was murdered, while others wonder if something unexplainable happened to her.

In 1987, Theresa Ann Bier disappeared while hiking in Ghost Canyon. The only person who saw what happened claimed it was Bigfoot. Years later, the case is reopened, and the real story behind her disappearance is far more shocking than anyone imagined.

Chobot will team up with Robert Collier, a seasoned officer from the Los Angeles Police Department, to examine what they believe is a truly unusual unsolved case from American history.

Chobot departed from the popular docuseries *Expedition X* before its eighth season. She soon announced she was starting a new project, though details were initially unclear.

In March, Chobot shared a brief, mysterious preview of her next show after *Expedition X*, but it’s currently unknown if the preview was for *Bigfoot Took Her*.

The 48-year-old actress recently shared that she didn’t know when her new show would be released, but it looks like fans won’t have to wait much longer.

The first trailer for the upcoming show is now available online, offering a glimpse of intriguing twists and the exciting supernatural action fans have come to expect from Chobot’s previous work.

As a film buff, I was really drawn in by how much of this documentary is set in the Sierra Nevada National Forest – it’s where the whole story with Bier began almost 40 years ago. What’s particularly compelling is that they spoke directly to Bier’s family, and also to people who actually lived in the area and knew what was going on back then. It really grounds the film in a sense of place and personal connection.

The limited series *Bigfoot Took Her* will premiere on Discovery and HBO Max on Wednesday, October 29th. It’s currently unknown if Chobot is involved in any other television projects, either with Discovery or elsewhere.

Jessica Chobot’s TV Future Explained

It’s been a tough year for Jessica Chobot’s fans. The popular TV host hasn’t been on television, and her previous show, *Expedition X*, has continued without her (you can find more information about who replaced her on *Expedition X* here).

Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait much longer, as Chobot is returning soon to continue exploring spooky mysteries.

Unfortunately, with just three episodes, Chobot’s new show will be very short-lived, leaving fans eager for more of the popular Discovery host waiting for a continuation that may not come.

It looks like Discovery+ has confidence in Jessica Chobot, giving her a series similar to *Bigfoot Took Her*. This three-part show could be the beginning of a long-term partnership between Chobot and the network, following her time on *Expedition X*.

The TV host might focus on revisiting unsolved mysteries with a supernatural element, releasing each case as a separate series a few times a year.
