“Deadliest Catch” season 20 premiere date and captains revealed
Plus, watch the exclusive season 20 trailer.
It's safe to say that the landmark 20th season of Deadliest Catch is all about time — or a lack thereof.
In the season 20 trailer, which EW can exclusively reveal below, we see fan-favorite captains Sig Hansen, Keith Colburn, Wild Bill Wichrowski and more head to sea to catch Red King Crab. Not only are the King Crab fisheries finally open after a three-year closure, but for the first time in more than 20 years, the captains are competing in a derby-style race. "This is more than just fishing to make money," Hansen explains in the first footage of the upcoming season. "It's a race against time."
Rivalry, competition, and, of course, deadly weather conditions reach incredible heights in the upcoming episodes. "It's gonna be dog-eat-dog," Colburn warns in the trailer.
The season will see Jake Anderson return to Hansen's Northwestern, Sophia "Bob" Nielsen take the helm of the F/V Seabrooke, and Johnathan Hillstrand come out of retirement in an attempt to reach a $1 million quota. Plus, Jacob Hutchins fights for the relief captain spot on Rick Shelford’s F/V Aleutian Lady, while Steve Harley Davidson and Jack Bunnell upgrade to the 126-foot F/V Pacific Mariner.
Check out the season 20 captains below — oh, and before we forget, EW can exclusively reveal that Deadliest Catch season 20 will premiere Tuesday, June 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery Channel, and will be then be available to stream on Max.
