New blood, old wounds and rivalries that never die. For some it’s a season of change; for others, a chance to make a name for themselves. But some things remain constant: the perilous, icy waters of the Bering Sea and most dangerous job in the world. After a heartbreaking season last year, the Emmy® Award-winning DEADLIEST CATCH returns to Discovery Channel on Tuesday, April 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, launching with a two-hour special. New this season, join @DiscoveryCanada for LIVE Twitter chats during the run of the series, Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. ET. (Schedule Note: Before the Season 7 adventure begins, Discovery Channel presents a DEADLIEST CATCH 6 MARATHON on Sunday, April 10 from 7 a.m. ET to midnight ET/4 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT).
The dark clouds and long shadow of their father’s death still hang heavy on sons Josh and Jake Harris but now they need to show the rest of the fleet that they can come back and step up as co-owners of Cornelia Marie.
After briefly auditioning successors in the wheelhouse of Time Bandit last season, Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand are centre stage again with no intention of stepping down – but they soon find their lucky streak in crabbing could be coming to an end.
Over on Northwestern, Captain Sig Hansen is left guessing if his brother Edgar is even showing up at all this season. And the usually steady-and-reliable Captain Keith Colburn takes a gamble and ventures into uncharted fishing grounds hoping for a big payoff for Wizard.
Two new boats join the fleet this season. Dubbed “the floating frat house,” Ramblin’ Rose introduces a young, rowdy crew skippered by Elliot Neese, all of 28 years old, and already boasting about his fishing prowess. Seabrooke Captain Scott Campbell Jr., 36, adds youth and cockiness as well, but behind the steely confidence, Junior is still haunted by the loss of a deckhand at sea. Can he battle back and conquer his demons?
