As a cinephile who has spent countless hours aboard fishing vessels and on the cold decks of Gloucester’s harbor, it’s with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to “Wicked Tuna.” This series has been more than just a reality TV show for me; it was an authentic glimpse into the lives of those who brave the North Atlantic waters in pursuit of the elusive bluefin tuna.
“National Geographic has decided not to renew ‘Wicked Tuna’ after wrapping up its thirteen season.”
Set in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and its neighboring waters, the reality series “Wicked Tuna” delves into the lives of veteran fishermen from America’s oldest port, as they continue to earn their livelihood by an age-old method – fishing for bluefin tuna using rod and reel. The show offers a close-up view of the fierce struggles, cutthroat competition, heartbreaking defeats, and lucrative victories experienced by the nation’s most resilient captains. For these commercial fishermen, the goal is clear: Catch a fish or return home empty-handed, without any income.
Since its debut in April 2012 on National Geographic, the reality show has broadcast over 200 episodes, leading to a spinoff titled “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks” which ran for eight seasons from 2014 to 2021.
“The TV series ‘Wicked Tuna’ is overseen by Mike Nichols, Craig Piligian, Lynn Sadofsky, and Michael Cascio in their executive producer roles. This production originates from Pilgrim Media Group.”
“After 13 seasons and over 200 captivating episodes, the popular series ‘Wicked Tuna’ has come to an end on National Geographic. This show, which debuted in 2012, highlighted one of America’s oldest industries and turned its courageous fishermen into household names around the world. As we look back on 13 successful seasons and countless episodes, we can’t express enough our gratitude to our production partners at Pilgrim Media Group, our cast and crew, the Gloucester community, and the dedicated fans who have joined us on this incredible journey. In short, thank you.”
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve noticed the recent absence of “Wicked Tuna” from my television screen. This gap seems to coincide with significant budget-trimming measures at National Geographic’s parent company, Disney. They appear to be streamlining their operations across their linear TV networks.
