According to Variety, while Todd will be seen throughout the season prior to his death, the incident that lead to his death are not going to be shown, despite the Aleutian Lady being equipped with cameras. This is out of respect for his family and loved ones.
The outlet also reports that the season premiere will pay tribute to Todd and share how his loss has impacted the crew and the fishing community.
Deadliest Catch season 22 will premiere Friday, May 8th at 8pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
Here’s a synopsis: With a new king crab population appearing far north, the fleet relocates 225 miles to St. George Island, facing colder weather and more extreme seas than any season before as they work to sustain their livelihoods in rapidly changing waters. For the first time in decades, the captains abandon familiar fishing grounds to chase a rare breed of Red King Crab lurking in the frozen waters of the far North. This elusive catch, worth a fortune, pushes the fleet into remote territory and tests their experience and resilience at the edge of the world.
