‘Deadliest Catch: Dungeon Cove’: A First Look at the Spinoff

Deadliest Catch has taken us to the Bering Sea for 12 seasons and counting. But the spinoff, premiering Sept. 13, will take us to a location even more treacherous.

Deadliest Catch: Dungeon Cove follows Dungeness crab fishermen who call Newport, Ore. — and its dangerous sandbars and currents — home. Their fishing grounds are part of the “Graveyard of the Pacific,“ which stretches from Oregon to British Columbia and is considered the deadliest commercial fishery in the world with thousands of vessels and lives lost.

As you can see from the exclusive first look above, here, too, crabbing is a family business. “We don’t want to lose your daddy and you,” a mother says to her young son when he asks about following in his father’s footsteps. The show will focus not only on the men at sea, but on the families who stay behind and wait for their return.

Deadliest Catch: Dungeon Cove premieres Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. on Discovery.
