The hit documentary series 'Ancient Aliens' returns to the History screen on February 17 with six special episodes analyzing the most impactful mysteries of the UFO phenomenon.
Starting Tuesday, February 17 at 9:50 PM (Mexico), renowned ufologist Giorgio A. Tsoukalos leads an investigation that challenges historical certainties about a possible contact between ancient civilizations and beings from other worlds.
The new season of the franchise kicks off with a special six-episode format called 'Top Ten.' The production reaffirms the central role of von Däniken in popularizing these theories that invite us to rethink humanity's past from unconventional perspectives.
These episodes are dedicated to compiling and analyzing the ten most significant cases across various categories, including extraordinary archaeological discoveries, mysterious monoliths, secret government projects, and technologies that are inexplicable by current scientific standards. Featured topics include lost cities in the Andes, metallic spheres of uncertain origin, and accounts of crashed ships in places like Pennsylvania, Japan, and Great Britain.
The series also explores geographical formations in Sri Lanka, Washington, and New Mexico that have historically been cited as points of extraterrestrial activity or portals to other worlds.
This season takes on special significance as it includes the final screen appearances of Erich von Däniken, author of the bestseller 'Chariots of the Gods?', who passed away on January 10 at the age of 90.
Host Giorgio A. Tsoukalos highlights the fundamental influence of the Swiss author on his career, noting that his works laid the conceptual foundation for the research he leads in the series today.
Throughout 2025, the series maintained strong viewership in key markets: it ranked in the Top 10 of the genre in Mexico for the 35+ age group, was the second most-watched premiere in Colombia, and reached the Top 5 of premieres in Brazil, exceeding the channel's average by 25%.
Produced for History by Prometheus Entertainment under the executive production of Kevin Burns, the series continues to pose the fundamental question of whether humanity is truly alone in the universe, analyzing evidence ranging from ancient funerary artifacts to modern reverse-engineering programs of non-human technology.
