The HISTORY channel announces the premiere of new episodes of the documentary series 'Inexplicable with William Shatner' starting Tuesday, January 13, at 9:50 PM. This new installment of the documentary series coincides with the 95th anniversary of its iconic host and actor William Shatner, who has led the production since its Latin American debut in April 2020. The seventh season of this non-fiction production delves into mysteries that challenge both traditional science and modern technological advances. Through a reflective narrative, Shatner guides the audience through topics that include possible extraterrestrial contacts, hidden treasures, and the unsettling role of artificial intelligence in predicting the future. As the host himself highlights, the series seeks to remind that there are still wonders in the world waiting to be understood by human critical thinking. The first episode of this cycle, titled 'Alien Contagion,' analyzes whether extraterrestrial life could pose a real biological threat to humanity, based on scientific theories and historical cases of space missions that triggered health alerts in the past. This season dedicates significant space to unexplained phenomena in the Latin American region. Among the standout cases is the scientific study of the Tilma of Guadalupe in Mexico, whose preservation for five centuries continues to amaze researchers, and the exploration of the cenotes of Yucatán as sacred gates to the Mayan underworld. The series also covers the legends of witchcraft on Chiloé, Chile; the historic expedition of Ernest Shackleton that set sail from Buenos Aires; and the discovery in Brazil of the 'Dogxim,' a hybrid between a dog and a fox that defies the understanding of nature. It also addresses a curious episode that occurred in Venezuela in 2012 related to coded messages in crossword puzzles and the use of artificial intelligence in Argentina for crime prevention.
