India, June 30 -- The long wait for Deadliest Catch fans is now over. The show depicting the highs and lows of crab fishing in the dangerous waters of the Bering Sea is returning with a new theme - "gold rush." The highly anticipated Season 21 will push the fleet into unexplored waters in search of what's being called a "billion-dollar bounty," reports TV Insider.
