Three ship captains from Discovery's reality series "Deadliest Catch" have worked out their differences with the network and will return to the hit show.
A statement from Capts Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand said, "We're happy we worked everything out with Discovery. A deal's a deal. We're heading up to Dutch Harbor to start filming the new season of 'Deadliest Catch' and hopefully it will be the best one yet. "
After being sued by Discovery for not working on a planned spin-off, Capts. Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand previously quit the show. They were joined by Capt. Sig Hansen.
But all seems to be well with the spin-off now, as the Hillstrands expressed their desire to get things going.
"Everyone worked really hard on putting together 'Hillstranded' and we’re looking forward to wrapping that up. It’s something new that we hope people will enjoy,” they said via statement.
This has been a tough year for "Deadliest Catch" captains. In February, show favorite and Cornelia Marie captain Phil Harris died of a massive stroke at age 53.
