“Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks” Season 8 Renewed; When Does It Start? Release Date, Trailer & News

What Is Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks About?

Gloucester’s fishermen have to learn new fishing techniques to beat their competitors, the Outer Banks’ top fishermen, in the race to catch the elusive bluefin tuna in the waters of North Carolina.

When bluefin tuna season ends in Gloucester, Massachusetts, it’s just beginning in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a perfect opportunity to pit North vs. South in a pro fisherman contest for the ocean’s most lucrative prey. Venturing south are the best crews from Gloucester to take on top local fleets in the treacherous Outer Banks, where the weather is more unpredictable than up north, and the seas can be extremely rough. The Gloucester rod-and-reel vets must master `greensticking’ – trolling artificial squid from a 30-foot fibreglass pole to lure the elusive species to the surface. Top-dollar bluefin can be worth as much as $20,000 each, but a short season and small government catch quota means explosive rivalries surface quickly.

Later this year, the popular spinoff WICKED TUNA: OUTER BANKS returns. WICKED TUNA: OUTER BANKS follows a southern fleet of top captains battling to catch bluefin in the dangerous waters off the coast of North Carolina. This season, they face the most treacherous weather in the series’ history, and captains must work together to catch the elusive bluefin.

WICKED TUNA is executive produced by Craig Piligian and Mike Nichols, and co-executive produced by Lorene Machado for Pilgrim Studios.

The last episode of the series was released on October 18, 2020 in the US.
