The wait is over. Weird World Adventures, the acclaimed unusual adventure series hosted by journalist and modern myth hunter Malorie Mackey, has launched its second season in full — and all 12 episodes are available to stream right now.
International viewers can watch free on Amazon Prime Video, Roku device owners can stream free via the Fawesome app, and US viewers can purchase episodes on Amazon Prime. However you tune in, Season 2 delivers the most wide-ranging and globe-spanning run of episodes the show has ever produced.
A Show That Goes Everywhere
If Season 1 introduced audiences to the particular world of Weird World Adventures — folklore-rich, skeptically curious, and genuinely wonder-filled — Season 2 makes good on every promise the show has ever made. Malorie and co-host and director Michael Maldonado travel across multiple continents this season, following legends and haunted histories to some of the most extraordinary destinations on earth. Romania. Iceland. Germany. Mexico. Salem. New Orleans. Richmond, Virginia. Washington, D.C.
“We wanted Season 2 to feel like a real leap forward,” Malorie said. “We traveled to places I’ve wanted to explore for years, dug into stories that genuinely surprised us, and I think audiences are going to feel that sense of discovery in every episode.”
That sense of discovery is precisely what has always set this show apart. Weird World Adventures doesn’t approach the world’s strange places as a collection of spooky curiosities to be paraded past the camera. It approaches them the way a good researcher does — with rigor, with respect, and with a genuine desire to understand what these stories mean to the people who have kept them alive.
Twelve Episodes, One Extraordinary Season
The Season 2 lineup is as eclectic as it is compelling. Traversing Transylvania follows Malorie through Romania, tracing the footsteps of Vlad Dracula from the salt mines of Cluj-Napoca to the legendary Bran Castle. The Gates to the Voodoo Underworld investigates one of New Orleans’ most enduring legends. A two-part Salem exploration takes a deep look at the history of the Witch Trials, while Discovering the Hidden Secrets of Iceland brings Malorie and Michael to elf school, inside a volcano, and through the world-famous Icelandic Phallological Museum.
Into the Woods: A Fairy Tale Tour of Germany ventures into the forests that gave the Brothers Grimm their source material. Memento Mori: Death and Innovation takes a cross-cultural look at how societies around the world have historically processed mortality. American Gothic: Following in the Footsteps of Edgar Allan Poe is filmed on location in Richmond, Virginia — Malorie’s hometown — making it one of the season’s most personal episodes. And the season closes with Weird Washington: Celebrating 250 Years of Independence, a tribute to the strange and overlooked corners of the nation’s capital.
The Episode Everyone Is Talking About
Among the season’s standout achievements is its two-part Great Smoky Mountains episode. Unveiling the Myths of the Great Smokys was filmed simultaneously with the research and writing of Malorie and Michael’s book Haunted Hikes of the Great Smoky Mountains, giving viewers a rare behind-the-scenes window into how a field project and a television production can shape each other in real time.
The result speaks for itself: Part 1 currently holds a perfect 10/10 rating on IMDb, making it the highest-rated episode in the show’s entire run.
The Team Behind the Show
Weird World Adventures is produced by Weird World Adventures LLC and directed by Michael Maldonado — Richmond native, author, Explorers Club member, skeptic, and physician subspecializing in neuroradiology. His direction gives the show its particular visual identity: immersive, atmospheric, and deeply attentive to the places it visits.
Malorie herself brings a background that is genuinely unusual in the travel and adventure space. A five-time published author, Explorers Club member, and journalist whose work consistently bridges ancient folklore with contemporary discovery, she approaches each destination not just as a host but as a researcher — someone who has done the reading, asked the hard questions, and still managed to hold onto her sense of wonder.
Together, they have built something that doesn’t have an easy comparison in the current streaming landscape. Weird World Adventures is a travel show, yes — but it’s also a folklore show, a history show, and at its best, a show about why human beings have always needed to tell strange stories about the world they inhabit.
