A brand new season of the hit adventure reality series Deadliest Catch premieres on the Discovery Channel Friday, Aug. 1 at 8/7c.

Those looking to catch the newest season of the hit Discovery Channel series can stream the premiere live through Philo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) or Sling (50% off first month).

What is Deadliest Catch?

For those unfamiliar with the long-running series, Deadliest Catch brings viewers into one of the deadliest jobs on earth: catching crab off the Alaskan coast on the icy Bering Sea.

Throughout the series, viewers are let in on the mortal perils and intense discomfort that fishing crew face on the Bering Sea.

In hopes of catching the delicacy, those brave enough to step aboard the ships and head out into the unforgiving sea endure 40-foot waves, 700-pound crab pots that can easily crush a careless crewman, and freezing temperatures around the clock.

What to expect from the season 21 premiere episode

To kick off season 21, Sig and Johnathan head to the abandoned Adak Island, chasing rumors of giant king crab. Co-captaining the Time Bandit, the two legends spark a gold rush out west, until chaos on the Titan Explorer forces Jake’s crew to abandon ship.
