A cult documentary series that keeps you on the edge of your seat more than any thriller — because everything here is real.
Discovery Channel launched the documentary series Deadliest Catch on April 12, 2005. The project tells about the competition of fishing vessels in the Bering Sea during the seasons of king crab and opilio crab fishing. The base is Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, where teams face enormous risks: storms, ice, injuries, and death are part of the daily grind. The tone is harsh, documentary, without gloss and staging. The format is reality, released annually with new seasons. If you like Alaska: The Last Frontier, Deadliest Catch, or documentary projects in the spirit of Planet Earth — Deadliest Catch will become a classic of the genre.
More than 20 seasons, the series has been in production since 2005.
