‘Expedition X’ Season 6 MISSING From Discovery Plus, Find Out Why
Season 6 of Expedition X recently kicked off, but it didn’t appear on Discovery Plus to stream like fans expected and now we know why.
Expedition X host Jessica Chobot took to social media to explain the bizarre absence. And she shared her frustration with fans, explaining that things are out of her hands. If you’ve been eagerly awaiting Season 6 only to find it still missing from Discovery Plus, you’re not alone. Here’s what we know about why the show isn’t available to stream for many, and when you can expect to find it.
Ex-X Usually Investigates Mysteries Instead Of Creating Them
Expedition X is one of those shows that you may have never heard of, but once you watch it you can never stop.
It was put together by explorer Josh Gates, known for his adventure documentary show Expedition Unknown. For Discovery‘s Ex-X, Josh put together a team of inquisitive explorers to look into mysteries that go beyond the world as we know it. Hosted by Jessica Chobot and Phil Torres, Expedition X is the kind of science-meets-paranormal show that pulls you in and keeps you wondering.
Could this be evidence of the monster locals say lurk in the vast swamplands near New Orleans?

In past seasons, the team has investigated urban legends and myths such as the Mothman, UFOs, “cursed” ruins in the Amazon and around the world, werewolves, ghosts, and other mysterious wonders. Season 6 promises to be more of the same adventure and curiosity, but the show is now creating its very own mystery: where is it? Fans usually can watch Discovery shows when they air live, or wait until the next day and find them streaming on Discovery Plus.
But Season 6 Expedition X, honoring the mysterious nature of its subjects, is nowhere to be found on Discovery Plus despite premiering on August 2.
Expedition X Season 6 Is Missing From Discovery Plus: Here’s Why
Frustrated fans have been waiting for nearly a month to watch their favorite, but it’s still missing from Discovery Plus.
Finally, one of the show’s hosts provided some insight. Host Jessica Chobot took to Instagram to explain the missing season to fans and share some of her own frustrations. On August 8, she posted about a two-part episode exploring the Eloise Asylum in Detroit. Jessica wrote, “I’ve heard that the current plan for EX-X streaming on D+ & MAX are thus: to air the season on Discovery first and then make avail on streaming.” The host added that she knows it’s frustrating for many, adding, “if it helps, I’m kind of in the same boat – I can’t watch it till it’s avail on streaming either.”
She explained that there’s nothing she or co-host Phil Torres can do to change the plan, “But we hope you are able to watch and enjoy the show nevertheless.” And despite the hiccup with the streaming delay, fans do seem to be enjoying Season 6. In comments under her post, multiple fans praised the season and thanked her for keeping them updated. Fans who want to watch Season 6 without delay can watch it streaming live on the Discovery Channel or streaming on Discovery Go with a cable subscription.
Let us know what you think about this change of plans for Expedition X Season 6. Is the Discovery Plus delay frustrating? And what are you the most excited about for this season? Sound off in the comments.

This is not the first show they’ve done this to. They did with this season of Ghost Adventures as well. As I still have Spectrum cable with Discovery I can record it or play it on demand if I miss it. It pissed me off so much though that I just cancelled my Discovery+ subscription and if there is anything I want to watch I’ll just us the on demand. At Spectrum. I’ll just save the $6.99.
Cable is dying. They should start catering to the streamers.
BS.
I miss Jesse already. Bring her back!! Bring her back!!
bring back jess, give her a raise.
Discovery Plus needs to correct this. One of the lures to launch Discovery Plus was getting Expedition Unknown and Expedition X as they aired. It was one of their promo lures to get the service. Then it was a bait and switch on the people who bought Discovery Plus. Not good for business.
The Show will not be the same without Jesse!!!! The Great chemistry is no longer there. Heather reminds me of another TV Personality on a Program, which I no longer watch. I feel Heather tried to make herself the center of attention, tried to take over and play the big shot, taking away from Phil and Josh. Jesse never tried to outshine Josh or Phil, she was simply herself, modesty and sweet!!! Heather on the other hand seems to be struck on herself, tries to steal the scene, by being a know it all and take over. You can tell she all about herself and I don’t see her being a team player with her personality I saw last night. I wish the show well, but I will no longer be watching. BRING BACK JESSICA!!!!!!!!
First of all I’m a Jesse fan. Jesse and Phil definitely complimented each other’s roles on the show. I doubt anyone else will be able to bring that kind of comraderie to Exp X. Unfortunately, we see this happen all the time in TV land. Either the show producers or an actor decides to change their creative direction. Would love to see Jesse in another show, maybe with Phil. How about something like, Indiana Jesse and Phil. However, please no more ghost hunting shows or shows about haunted buildings, haunted items, or haunted people. Sooooo boring,,–been done and DONE.
I am not going to miss Jess. I wasn’t a fan. She acted like a scared little girl sometimes, screaming.
I’m going to give Heather a chance. She seems to have a lot more experience in the field than Jess.
I’ll miss Jesse and the chemistry between her, Phil and Josh. They’re an awesome trio. I enjoy the show and will continue to watch. If Jesse joins another Discovery program I’m sure I’ll watch that also. Best of luck to both ladies.
I really liked Jesse on the show and we much prefer her to the new girl. please bring her back. What happened to her?
