The dig is far from over at Blind Frog Ranch. Discovery Channel has slotted Season 5 of its hit unscripted series Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch for Wednesday, June 18 at 10PM ET/PT, bringing back Duane and Chad Ollinger as the high-stakes search for lost Aztec gold enters even riskier territory.
The Anomaly Entertainment-produced series, a steady performer in Discovery’s unscripted lineup, continues to blend historical lore, treasure-hunting drama, and fringe-theory suspense. This season leans deeper into the show’s paranormal-meets-petroleum appeal, with the Ollingers’ latest expedition uncovering an underwater tunnel littered with Aztec artifacts, stone markers, and a cryptic chiseled tablet that could reshape the show’s mythology.
But with the gold come bigger threats. The team reportedly stumbles onto radioactive elements, unexplained intrusions on the property, and potential interference from shadowy government actors—all while trying to understand the geology of a meteorite-impacted zone that defies conventional logic.
In the season opener, Chad Ollinger dives into a submerged passage that may hold the route to the long-speculated “keyhole chamber.” Returning this season is geologist Eric Drummond, who brings fresh strategy for drilling around the meteorite that’s long stalled progress.
The franchise—which has built a loyal following thanks to its mix of real-world exploration and unsolved-mystery hooks—continues to push the line between documentary and drama. Discovery is backing the new season with a trailer teasing heightened danger, bigger finds, and more late-night activity that keeps fans guessing.
Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch is produced by Anomaly Entertainment for Discovery Channel.
