The Emmy-nominated series returns for its fourth season, following the now legendary captains and crews of five crab-fishing vessels on the Bering Sea doing one of the deadliest and most lucrative jobs in the world.

The brave crews endure subzero arctic weather, 60-mph winds and turbulent seas with waves the size of four-story buildings, all on three to four hours sleep each night - if they're lucky. Returning to Deadliest Catch this year are the men of the Northwestern, led by Captain Sig Hansen, the Time Bandit led by Captain Andy Hillstrand and the Wizard Captained by Keith Colburn.

New to the fleet this season are the men of the North American, led by Sten Skaar, and deckhand-turned-skipper Rick Fehst of the Early Dawn.
