A NEW SEASON OF "DEADLIEST CATCH" RETURNS FRIDAY, MAY 8 AT 8PM ET/PT ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL
NEW YORK, NY (April 23, 2026) - Deadliest Catch, the 63-time Emmy(R) nominated and
genre-defining series, returns Friday, May 8 at 8PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel. With a new king crab population appearing far north, the fleet relocates 225 miles to St. George Island, facing colder weather and more extreme seas than any season before as they work to sustain their livelihoods in rapidly changing waters.
For the first time in decades, the captains abandon familiar fishing grounds to chase a rare breed of Red King Crab lurking in the frozen waters of the far North. This elusive catch, worth a fortune, pushes the fleet into remote territory and tests their experience and resilience at the edge of the world.
In a series first, Captain Sig Hansen launches an unprecedented covert scouting mission, deploying an underwater drone into the unknown waters in a bold attempt to locate the
rare strain of king crab before the rest of the fleet arrives. Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski
journeys to St. George Island to share his decades of hard-earned knowledge, guiding Sig through new grounds in pursuit of the bigger, richer crab that could define his season.
Meanwhile, after losing both his boat and his marriage, Captain Jake Anderson starts the season as a deckhand for the first time in eleven years. When an unexpected opportunity
emerges to restore the legendary Cornelia Marie, Jake steps back into the captain's chair,
putting his reputation and his family's future on the line for one final shot at redemption.
