“Deadliest Catch” is returning for the premiere of its 21st season on the Discovery Channel, and it’s set to debut on Friday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. You can watch live as it airs three ways: Sling TV (50% off your first month), Philo (FREE trial) or DIRECTV (FREE trial).
“Deadliest Catch” has, over its long run, become an iconic staple of the Discovery Channel roster. The series depicts the seemingly insurmountable struggles of fishing for Alaskan king crab in the Bering Sea, a commercial fishing trade which is sometimes lethal.
In the premiere episode of season 21, Sig and John will take the Time Bandit off to the west in search of some potential new sources of crab. Meanwhile, aboard the Titan Explorer, Jake and his crew will encounter circumstances which force them to abandon ship.
Here’s a look at some of the most intense and dramatic moments from across the entire history of “Deadliest Catch,” courtesy of the show’s official YouTube channel:
