Deadliest Catch is one of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows and the network is pulling out all the stops for its 16th season. Keep reading and we'll show you how to watch Deadliest Catch on TV or online from anywhere in the world.
Deadliest Catch first premiered on Discovery Channel back in 2005 and the show follows a group of crab fisherman in the Bering Sea. As the show's title implies, fishing for Alaskan king crabs, queen crabs and snow crabs is a dangerous business where injury or even death could be right around the corner. To make things worse, the crews aboard these ships typically spend three to four weeks at a time at sea before returning to shore.
The highly anticipated new season of Deadliest Catch will also see the Alaskan crab fleet face off against their biggest rival for the first time, the Russians. Crab fishing is a competitive business and this year the Russian government has revamped their crab quota system to cut down on illegal fishing. This means that the price of king crab will likely skyrocket and in turn, make for the most cut-throat season of the Deadliest Catch yet.
A number of captains and ships from previous season will also be returning including Captain Jake Anderson and The Saga, Captain Scott Campbell Jr. and The Seabrooke, Captain Sig Hansen and The Northwestern, Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski and The Summer Bay, Captains Josh Harris and Casey McManus and The Cornelia Marie and Captain Steve "Harley" David and The Southern Wind. However, the biggest surprise this season is the fact that Captain Johnathan Hillstrand, who retired at the end of season 13, is making a comeback to help out Captain Jake anderson on The Saga.
Whether you've been following the Deadliest Catch since the show first aired or just want to see what being a crab fisherman entails, we'll show you exactly how to watch the latest season of the show from wherever you are in the world.
