Expedition Bigfoot Season 5 just kicked off on the Travel Channel as fans meet the team of investigators trying to track down the ever-elusive creature known as Bigfoot.
Beginning in 2019, this show is a spin-off of Expedition Unknown and features a team of investigators who go on a three-week expedition into the wilderness of the western United States to find indisputable evidence that Bigfoot exists.
Season 5 first premiered on the Travel Channel on August 14, and, as of writing, two episodes of the current installment have aired.
Every Main Cast Member of Expedition Bigfoot Season 5
Bryce Johnson
The cast of Expedition Bigfoot is made up of real-life people who are trying to find Bigfoot. One of the main team members is actor, producer, and podcaster Bryce Johnson.
Some of Johnson's most well-known acting credits include Pretty Little Liars and the TV series Popular, but it was his role in Willow Creek that got him into Bigfoot hunting.
While filming that movie, which centers around Johnson's character and his girlfriend hunting for firsthand evidence of Bigfoot, Johnson was able to meet Robert Gimlin and Roger Patterson, the two people who infamously captured video evidence of Bigfoot in 1967 that still circulates the internet to this day.
After meeting the two men and forming a close friendship with them, Johnson got into real-life Bigfoot hunting.
