Discovery Channel has given the greenlit to its third “Gold Rush” spinoff series, TheWrap has learned.
This one stars Dave Turin, a franchise fan favorite who left the main show two years ago, and is aptly titled, “Gold Rush: Dave Turin’s Lost Mine.”
The series will be the network’s first show to stream on Discovery Go, which is free to viewers with a cable subscription, before it airs on cable, debuting with seven new midform episodes on March 8 on the platform. Those episodes will follow Turin’s “search for the one abandoned mine that he’s willing to risk everything for.”
“Dave Turin’s Lost Mine” will make its broadcast premiere April 8 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on the Discovery Channel. The all-new episodes that air on the network will follow Dave after he makes his selection and will focus on his work in that abandoned mine.
