Hunt For Truth: Tasmanian Tiger Verdict on SBS and SBS on Demand – The hit SBS documentary series Hunt for Truth: Tasmanian Tiger returns for a final, gripping instalment Hunt for Truth: Tasmanian Tiger Verdict – chasing fresh clues, investigating compelling new evidence, and delivering a long-awaited verdict on one of the world’s greatest wildlife mysteries.
Tim Noonan, two-time Walkley Award-winning journalist and the creator behind Boy to Man and Extreme Engagement, leads viewers on a wild and emotional journey into the mystery of the thylacine, the legendary Tasmanian tiger. Since Season 1 (two episodes) premiered in June 2024, Tim has received a flood of viewer emails — fresh sightings, whistleblower accounts, and sensitive documents.
One such tip led him to a trove of official records never before made public. Inside were explosive responses from wildlife rangers, revealing what authorities may have believed — and have kept hidden — for decades.
The last known thylacine officially died in captivity in 1936. Yet, scores of credible eyewitnesses claim sightings that suggest the species may still be alive.
At the public’s request, Noonan ventures deep into the Tasmanian wilderness, armed with new leads, to solve the mystery of the elusive tiger once and for all. Also, returning in this episode is the legendary thylacine hunter “Tigerman” who has spent close to half a million dollars searching for the creature.
He invites Tim to a remote cave peppered with suspicious tracks. In the end, Tim weighs all the evidence — the science, the sightings, the secrets — and delivers an honest, personal verdict: does he believe the thylacine still exists? And if the Tasmanian tiger is still out there, would we ever forgive ourselves for letting it go extinct… a second time?
