“Unsolved Mysteries” garnered an eye-popping 20 credible leads on cases featured in its six new episodes — a mere day after the show’s Netflix revival, which premiered last Wednesday.

“It’s been 24 hours,” UM’s executive producer Terry Dunn Meurer told USA Today, adding that he promises to pass the credible tips “on to the appropriate authorities.” 

Among the useable tips was info pertaining to alleged suicide victim Rey Rivera and Alonzo Brooks, whose body was discovered in a creek after the 23-year-old attended a party in Kansas.  “Mysteries” also received leads on Lena Chapin, who disappeared after being slated to testify against her mother in her stepfather’s death.

Peanut gallery tipoffs have been essential at helping “Unsolved Mysteries” crack some of its toughest capers. During the classic crime series’ earlier runs on NBC, CBS and Lifetime from 1988 to 2002, fans submitted thousands of leads, which helped solve over 260 cases.

Muerer hopes “there’s a lot of people who still haven’t watched [the revival] and maybe this weekend they’ll sit down and binge the episodes and we’ll get more leads.”

“Mysteries,” which ranked as Netflix’s top show last Thursday, isn’t a carbon copy of the original. The revival is keeping many fan-favorite elements such as the creepy theme, advisory that it’s not a news show, and of course, the broad range of cases.

“We always try to represent a wide array of mysteries,” Meurer told the Post. The first six episodes include a man in France who disappeared after murdering his whole family, a reported Massachusetts UFO sighting from 1969 and even a ghost story.

However, the second coming will do away with the cornball actor reenactments in favor of more documentary footage and family interviews.

“We wanted this be in the documentary world, where the people whose mysteries these episodes involve are more present and more of the storytellers,” Meurer told the Post.

“Mysteries” will also only feature one mystery per episode instead of three or four, and in keeping with current trends, updates will appear on social media and the show’s website and not at the end of each episode. Most notably, “Mysteries” is going without a narrator to replace the late and great Robert Stack, who hosted and did voiceovers until 2002, shortly before his death in 2003.

“We didn’t want to just produce the same show (from) 20 years ago,” Meurer told USA Today. “We wanted it to be fresh and feel contemporary.”
