The Discovery show first began airing in 2005 and since then there have been many tragedies for the cast to deal with.

Established members of the cast, such as Sig Hansen, are returning for the 19th season of the show in 2023.

However, there are numerous obstacles for the fishermen to overcome this sequence, including the shutdown of fishing grounds.

The preview for season 19 displays team members coping with sadness and calamity.

For a period of time, fans of Deadliest Catch were uncertain whether the show would be renewed for its 19th season.

Now, the nineteenth season of the show is officially here starting from April 18th.

In the trailer, a crew member states that the cast has battled for their fishing industry and loved ones.

He states: “I simply wish that we escape with our lives.”

In the footage, crimson roses are placed atop a coffin. Sig Hansen participates in his mother’s burial in the trailer for season 19.

Sig’s mother departed at the age of 83 in 2022.

On the F/V Northwestern, the crab fishing captain received the devastating information that his mother was in a hospice and would be given morphine, while accompanied by his daughter.

What happened to Nick McGlashan?

Nick McGlashan served as a cast member on Deadliest Catch for a span of seven years.

Nick tragically died in 2020 following an unintended drug overdose.

He was 33 years old and allegedly passed away in a Holiday Inn located in Nashville, Tennessee.

While filming the Discovery show, the crew honored Nick.

“Nick, who loves you, will always be there for you. We’re going to say goodbye to Nick McGlashan on the radio show, as he sets sail with the rest of the fleet. Captain Wild Bill Bay Summer mentioned this.”
