(Discovery Channel)
Get ready for another season of Gold Rush: White Water. Discovery Channel announced that season nine of the reality series would premiere on the network later this month, with episodes also airing on Max and Discovery+.
However, this will be the final season of the reality series. Earlier this month, Chilkat Valley News reported that an email was sent out that production on the series was done for the foreseeable future. Season nine was filmed last summer.
During season eight of the reality series, Dustin Hurt and his crew found a $70k gold nugget, and they will risk it all to find more. Discovery Channel shared more about the series’ return:
“Last year, Dustin Hurt’s crew struck a 6-ounce, $70K nugget – the biggest in Gold Rush history. This season, he’s risking everything for more. It’s all or nothing – a gamble that could make them millions or end their mining careers forever.
In the season premiere, Dustin and his loyal crew head deep into the remote Alaskan wilderness on their most ambitious, difficult, and dangerous season ever, as they risk their lives in the raging creeks of Alaska searching for a life-changing pile of gold nuggets.”
The series returns on April 25th. The trailer for season nine is below.
What do you think? Have you watched this Discovery Channel series? Do you plan to watch season nine? Are you sad that this is the final season?
I’d love to see a spinoff with the crew on their own.
not sad it is going. the story line is VERY predictable. except when Fred was dying- & I consider that unfortunate & sad. the basic story line is the same in every episode- 1) they look for gold, 2) it is dangerous, 3) people get hurt, or they almost get hurt, 4) they will go broke it they don’t get gold,
& 5) they find gold. the people may change; the locations can change, but it’s all the same story line.
I like it… sucks that its not going to be around anymore
Whitewater is the most unfullfilling show I have ever watched.
Even if it were to continue I would not watch another season.
How many times can you fail with zero success in recovering any gold?
No clear plan season after season after season.
I wish them all well but probably best to not be in gold mining.
Dustin Hurt is an arrogant jackass who has no business being in a position of leadership. It’s obvious that some of the people who appear in this show have become actor wannabes instead of miners.
