After a years-long hiatus, scientist and explorer Albert Lin is coming back to National Geographic with a fresh new season of Lost Cities, renamed “Lost Cities Revealed.” In the past, Lin, who is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a real-life Indiana Jones, has traveled everywhere from the ancient Knights Templar in Israel to the fabled jungle city of El Dorado in Colombia to unearth history’s biggest mysteries and architectural wonders. This time, he’s going deeper and further than ever before into forgotten cities that have literally yet to be revealed (NatGeo has yet to announce the whereabouts of the latest season).
Where to watch Lost Cities Revealed with Albert Lin Season 2
The second season of Lost Cities Revealed will air on National Geographic TV on Thanksgiving Night, November 23 at 8/9c. The episodes will then be available to stream the week after, November 29, on Hulu and Disney+.
There are three ways to watch Lost Cities Revealed season 2: live on National Geographic TV or the next week on Hulu and Disney+.

Lost City Season 1 was exciting and impressive, even if it featured a lot of Lin.
Some viewers didn’t like that the Lost City series featured so much of Lin, but others argued that it was this exact same thing that made Lost City so watchable. Lin was full of questions and personality, which shaped the show into what it is: informative but entertaining, deep but easy, and with the advanced tech involved, historical but forward-looking. There are varying opinions on Lost City, but you can watch them yourself to see how they hold up.
The first season is available to watch on Disney+
You can stream all of Lost Cities’ previous episodes, along with specials like Lost Cities: The Great Flood and Lost Cities: Megacity of the Maya Warrior King, on Disney+.
Disney+
The on-demand streaming service Disney+ gives you access to thousands of films and TV shows not just from Disney itself, but from partner studios like Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, and ABC. It's a giant umbrella of content for a fairly reasonable price of $7.99/month with ads and $13.99/month without, but if you want even more, Disney+ offers premium add-ons you can stack to your plan, as well as the famous Trio bundle, which gives you Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ at a discounted price.
