‘A Body in the Basement’ Season 3 Episode 4 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch

Investigation Discovery’s grim true crime anthology is in the middle of a fresh run, and viewers who tuned in for the latest chapter are already looking ahead. The new season opened with ‘Collecting Trophies’ and a second chapter followed a week later under the title ‘Her Last Steps’. That weekly rhythm has fans asking what lands next.

If you want to know when the next installment of ‘A Body in the Basement’ arrives, what time to set your reminder and how to stream it, here is everything the listings currently show. A few details are still moving, so some points come with a caveat.

‘A Body in the Basement’ Release Date for the Next Episode

The tricky part is that episode numbering differs from one listing to another. Next Episode’s tracker lists ‘Burning Suspicion’ as the next entry, set for Wednesday, October 21, with ‘Her Last Steps’ as the previous one on October 14. That means a new case is arriving tonight, and the one after it is the installment most viewers will be waiting on.

The first two episodes of the season landed exactly one week apart, which points to a weekly rollout. On that pattern, the following episode would fall on Wednesday, October 28. Investigation Discovery has not published a confirmed title for that date in the sources I found, so treat the exact episode number as unsettled.

One outlet reported that the network’s schedule lists a new installment for Wednesday, October 28. That outlet labeled it as the third episode, which clashes with trackers that count ‘Burning Suspicion’ as the third. Listings often shift numbering as the network updates its guide, so the date is more reliable than the label.

What Time the New Episode Airs on Investigation Discovery

Air times are not entirely uniform across listings. Investigation Discovery’s schedule shows ‘Burning Suspicion’ on Wednesday, October 21 at 11 PM. That matches the late slot reported for earlier episodes this season.

The same listing places the October 28 episode at 11 PM, with a repeat airing in the early hours of Thursday, October 29 at 2 AM. If you prefer to catch it live, plan for a late night. If you miss it, the repeat gives you a second shot.

Other sources paint a slightly different picture. TVmaze lists the show on Wednesdays at 9 PM, while one outlet reported the season premiere aired at 10 PM. Since ‘A Body in the Basement’ time slots have drifted before, checking your local guide on the day is the safest move.

Where to Watch the Series Online and on TV?

The most direct route is the network itself. Investigation Discovery hosts the series on its own site and app, where the third season is already marked as new. You will need to link a TV provider to unlock the full episodes.

The ID GO page asks viewers to link their TV provider to unlock thousands of episodes from the Discovery family of networks. That makes it a good option if you already pay for cable or a live TV service that carries the channel. Live TV viewers can also find the show on a streaming platform that carries the Investigation Discovery channel.

Subscription streaming is a little less clear for the current run. Local news coverage of the previous season said episodes could be watched on Investigation Discovery, Discovery+, HBO Max and other subscription streaming services. Next Episode’s listings also point to services such as Philo and YouTube TV, along with Amazon channel add-ons.

What the Episode Preview Reveals

Here is where the schedule gets interesting for fans hunting for a preview. The network’s listing for the October 28 slot describes a desperate search for a missing young woman that ends with a horrifying discovery inside an abandoned storm cellar. That synopsis is attached to an entry numbered as the third episode, so the numbering quirk applies here too.

For the case being broadcast tonight, the network’s own description is more specific. ‘Burning Suspicion’ follows detectives who investigate a grandmother’s death after a mysterious basement fire. It shows how widely the series swings, from missing person searches to suspicious fires.

The season so far has leaned into some heavy material. The premiere centered on the Hammond, Indiana case of David Maust, where investigators found three bodies encased in concrete in his basement. The second episode covered a home invasion in Connecticut that left a mother dead in the basement and her husband injured.

That tone fits the show’s long running promise. The series describes itself as real life tales about the last thing anyone wants to find in their basement, a dead body. Given the storm cellar setup teased for the next slot, if a search for a missing young woman ends underground, do you think the show will keep the focus on the investigators or on the family left waiting for answers?
