Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns’ Mandy Builds Her Empire

Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns shows the actual return of Captain Sig Hansen, who heads to Norway. The show has documented the dangerous career of crab fishing ever since its inception in 2005. For over 18 seasons, the show has received numerous awards and accolades.

Captain Sig wanted a change of pace and scenery. This led him to star in the spinoff series, Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns. He travels the high waters with his daughter Mandy Hansen by his side. The show follows them to Norway, where their ancestors are located. The family hopes that they will create an even larger empire.

When does Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns premiere?

Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns is on the Fall 2022 lineup for the Discovery Channel. The new season will focus on Mandy, who has to find a way to balance her career with her ever-growing family. She wants to start an empire that she hopes will pass on to the new generation.

It’s important for Mady to keep the legacy going. She hopes that she will become the mom of future fishermen. In the new trailer for the Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns, Mandy says, “We didn’t come here to trade one location for another. We came here to build something bigger.”

The trailer shows the dramatic and tense moments that take place in the series. In the Discovery Channel series, Captain Sig admits that it’s “not about money,” it’s more “about family.” A few years ago, he talked about his daughter taking over as a Captain for Northwestern.
“Oh, she’s fine. She and her husband can take it and run. I don’t care. They are young, they got this, for me, I’m done,” Captain Sig said, per Outsider. “I got a foot out the door. My mentality is different from what it was 20 years ago. You only get so many chances. I’m hoping it makes sense.”

Mandy builds upon her family’s legacy

The Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns star admits that he respects his daughter and her ability to take over the crab business as well as the ship. However, he struggles with the idea of handing it over to her. Sig still loves his job and he can’t imagine not doing it anymore.

“I can’t stop, that’s the problem. All of us are egomaniacs. You want to stop, but the ego portion won’t let me stop. There’s no way in hell,” Sig continued. “See what I mean. You are torn. You know that song ‘Torn Between Two Lovers?’ That’s kind of what is going on here. Really what we need is a shrink. If we could get a goddamn shrink in Dutch Harbor, we’d be better off.”

Sig faced a health setback that forced him to stop working. He suffered from a mild heart attack in his 50s. The Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns cast member said he was hesitant about returning to work. What are your thoughts on the upcoming season? Sound off below in the comment section.
