The Deadliest Catch star will steer his own spin-off series, Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns, set to dock at Discovery Channel this fall. The series will follow the fan-favorite captain of fishing vessel FV Northwestern as he and his daughter (and co-captain) Mandy return to their ancestral home in Norway with ambitions of building a fishing empire greater “than their forefathers could ever have imagined,” according to the logline.
It isn’t all smooth sailing, though: As Mandy struggles to start her own family, “beginning anew in the land of their ancestors becomes an unexpected journey to rediscover their own heritage and cement the legacy they’ll pass down to the next generation of fishermen,” the logline continues. That much is evidenced in the first trailer shared Wednesday by Discovery.
“We didn’t come here to trade one location for another,” Mandy says in the trailer. “We came here to build something bigger.”
