\n\tAs Discovery<\/a>\u2019s popular reality series Deadliest Catch<\/a> premieres its 22nd <\/a>season on May 8, Canadian broadcaster Rogers Sports & Media has greenlit a local version, Deadliest Catch: Northern Edge, as the first international<\/a> adaptation of the popular Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a> property. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tA deal with Fremantle Canada will see eight episodes follow a new fleet of captains, this time from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, taking to the frigid North Atlantic to harvest Snow Crab in rough waters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re excited to expand one of our most successful brands with a version tailored to put Canadian fishermen on the world stage. The series\u00a0will explore the real and nuanced challenges uniquely faced by Canada\u2019s fishing communities,\u201d Michela DiMondo, executive vp of distribution Canada, international at Fremantle, said in a statement of the series from indie producers Attraction and Fremantle\u2019s Original Productions for Discovery Canada.<\/p>\n

\n\tRogers has already had ratings success with Canada\u2019s Got Talent, a local version of the Got Talent\u00a0franchise from Syco Entertainment and FremantleMedia, and the Canadian broadcaster has just premiered a local version of The Price is Right, with Howie Mandel as host and based on the Fremantle format.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDeadliest Catch\u00a0has defined best-in-class factual television for more than 20 years. With\u00a0Deadliest Catch: Northern Edge, we\u2019re proud to bring this iconic format to Canada as the first international adaptation, telling a distinctly Canadian story of grit, heritage, and survival in one of the world\u2019s most unforgiving oceans,\u201d Kale Stockwell, head of original programming at Rogers Sports & Media, added in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Deadliest Catch documentary series returning this week on Discovery stateside, and produced by Original Productions, will feature extreme fishermen catching the elusive Red King Crab.
