The Curse of Oak Island Season 13: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
If you've been glued to The Curse of Oak Island for its wild mix of history, mystery, and good old-fashioned treasure hunting, you're probably itching to know what's in store for Season 13. Rick and Marty Lagina, along with their trusty team, have spent over a decade chasing secrets buried on Nova Scotia's Oak Island. With Season 12 completed, fans are buzzing about what's next. Let's dive into the latest on Season 13's release date, cast, plot, and all the juicy details we've got so far. The Curse of Oak Island Season 13 Potential Release Date As of July 2025, the History Channel hasn't dropped an official word on whether The Curse of Oak Island will return for a 13th season. But let's be real—the show's a juggernaut. Since kicking off in 2014, it's built a die-hard fanbase that keeps coming back for more. Earlier this year, some eagle-eyed fans on Facebook spotted film crews and equipment on Oak Island, hinting that Season 13 might already be in the works. The show usually films in the summer for a fall premiere, so if it's greenlit, we're betting on a November 18, 2025, debut, right after Remembrance Day, like clockwork. The Curse of Oak Island Season 13 Expected Plot Season 12 left us with some serious cliffhangers—oak timbers in the Money Pit, weird structures in the swamp, and whispers of a Knights Templar connection. The finale, 'Uplifting Discoveries,' had the team closer than ever but still no treasure in hand. So, what's next? Here's what we're expecting in Season 13: Money Pit Madness : The team's obsessed with the Money Pit, and they're planning to roll out something called a 'Honeycomb Caisson barrage' to dig into new shafts. Could this finally crack open the Chappell Vault or the tricky Solution Channel? Fingers crossed. Lot 5 Intrigue : Recent finds like a gemstone and signs pointing to the Knights Templar have made Lot 5 a hotspot. Some think it's a religious site, not just a treasure stash. Season 13 will likely dig deeper into this mystery. Swamp Secrets : The swamp keeps spitting out surprises, like cobblestone paths and odd structures. It's tied to those pesky flood tunnels, so expect more muck-filled adventures. Templar and Malta Vibes: Season 12 took the team to Malta to chase a family bloodline tied to the Knights Templar. This historical rabbit hole could lead to big reveals about who hid what on the island. The show's knack for blending high-tech gadgets—like ground-penetrating radar and fancy drills—with old-school detective work keeps things exciting. But let's be honest: some fans are getting antsy, wondering if the show's dragging out tiny finds to keep us hooked. Still, the promise of a game-changing discovery keeps us tuning in. Who's Coming Back for The Curse of Oak Island Season 13? The heart of The Curse of Oak Island is its core crew, and we expect most of them to return: Rick Lagina : The dreamer who started it all after reading about Oak Island in a 1965 Reader's Digest . Marty Lagina : Rick's skeptical brother, who brings engineering know-how and a bit of humor. Craig Tester : The drilling guru who keeps the heavy machinery humming. Gary Drayton : The metal-detecting wizard who's always one 'bobby dazzler' away from a big find. Alex Lagina : Marty's son, leading the charge on digging projects. Charles Barkhouse : The local historian who connects the dots to Oak Island's past. Laird Niven : The archaeologist keeping things by-the-book. Emma Culligan: The XRV system expert who's been a game-changer since joining in Season 10. We might see some new faces, like guest historians or tech specialists, but don't hold your breath for past members like Miriam Amirault, who stepped away for personal reasons. The team's chemistry is a big reason fans keep watching, so expect that camaraderie to shine. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Teen run over by truck while sunbathing on North Carolina beach
The driver of a pickup truck allegedly ran over the legs of a 15-year-old girl lying on the beach in Oak Island, North Carolina. Oak Island Public Safety officials were dispatched to a public beach on Monday just after 2 p.m. while responding to reports of a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle driving on the beach, according to a press release. Upon arrival, authorities located the victim, who was evaluated on-scene for 'possible non-life-threatening injuries' after the vehicle apparently ran over her legs. Authorities transported the victim to a nearby hospital 'out of caution,' city officials said in the press release. 'The vehicle, a 2020 model GMC pickup truck, belongs to TI Coastal Services, a private contractor conducting Beach Survey work for engineering firm Moffatt & Nichol, in preparation for the upcoming 2025 / 26 Beach Nourishment Project,' Oak Island said in the press release. 'The Survey began on July 7 and is intended to last two weeks.'

Trump tariff inflation has hit the data: A closer look at June CPI
Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Rick Newman joins Market Domination Overtime host Josh Lipton to discuss the June Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, highlighting the key categories that saw the strongest inflationary effects from President Trump's tariffs. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination Overtime here. Fresh economic data coming in on Tuesday with June's consumer price index and tariff opponents may have some explaining to do when it comes to the uptick in inflation. Joining me now is Yahoo Finance senior columnist, Rick Newman. Rick? Hey Josh. Uh well Trump talked to reporters outside the White House today. He said inflation is very low. Ah I guess, uh uh your guest we were just had um, you know I I buy what he said 2.7%. That's nothing to freak out about, but it's going in the wrong direction and economists who have been scouring this data looking for signs that Trump's tariffs are finally pushing prices up are now finding evidence that the tariffs are pushing prices up. And you can see that if you look at specific product categories that are dominated by imports such as appliances, such as sporting goods, such as toys. Much of that comes from uh China or other countries in Asia and um we did see big month to month um jumps in those categories. Uh you can see some of the charts there. I mean it might be a little bit hard to read. Uh but in other categories such as um uh clothing and furniture and footwear, uh we did see the trend of prior months, which was basically no inflation. Now we're starting to get some inflation there. And that is basically exactly what economists say what normally happen when you are start raising the tax on imports. So if this continues for a few more months I think it's going to be very clear we do have tariff inflation. Given all that um economists think that the Trump tariffs as they stand now that might raise inflation from uh 2.7% now to, let's say 3.5%, maybe 4%. So that's a lot lower than the 9% we had in uh 2022, but will voters notice? I think the answer is some will and some won't and um Trump is going to have to persuade them that even though inflation is going up it's not a problem. It was interesting Rick because because some economists were kind of focusing on the goods categories, and I saw other economists they were making a beeline for the services, you know, and the disinflation they saw there. They were pointing at airline fares and auto insurance premiums and shelter costs. You mentioned the politics of this Rick, just elaborate on that this a little bit for us. What are how do you see that shaking out for the Trump White House? Well Democrats are sounding hysterical um frankly. So every time there's like a one-tenth of a uh increase in the price of anything, they they shout that Trump is um is driving inflation up and nobody can afford anything. I mean that's not true. I mean inflation is not that bad, but on the other hand um we got as low, so just to go through the recent history here. Everybody hated 9% inflation in 2022. Almost everybody saw that whether it was food at the grocery store, gasoline, um almost, you know, most things people buy. We got we got that down to 2.3%. That was the low point earlier this year. And the Federal Reserve of course wants to see it around 2%. So we almost got to 2%, and now we're not. Now we're going the wrong direction so, uh you know Trump keeps screaming at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, but it is Trump's own tariffs that are preventing uh Powell from cutting rates. So, um this is all a blame game. Trump is preparing, he wants to have a villain ready to finger if the economy does turn south. Um Democrats are already uh, you know, they've been screaming almost since the day Trump got into office that he's ruining everything in the economy he touches. Um nobody's exactly right and I I think the it really depends on where does the pain really fall. Um but it will fall more heavily on working and lower income Americans. Working class, I should say, than anybody else because that's what always happens and of course that's a big part of Trump's base. So I think he knows he's going to have to tread carefully here. Rick, thank you my friend. Appreciate it. You got it.

The Brief – Why Europe has succumbed to Chinese whispers
In one of the more memorable scenes in Casablanca, a slick-haired Frenchman warns a well-heeled patron of Rick's Café Américain to 'be on guard'. 'I beg of you, monsieur, watch yourself… this place is full of vultures, vultures everywhere!' the Frenchman exclaims as he quietly lifts the unsuspecting man's wallet and walks off. The victim's naïveté makes it difficult to feel sorry for him – we all saw it coming. So it is with Europe these days, as it stumbles across the world stage, treating friends like vultures and vultures like friends. The tragedy of that wrongheadedness has rarely been as obvious as this week, as the EU struggles to formulate coherent policies on an array of flashpoints from Gaza to the war in Ukraine to U.S. trade talks. On Gaza, the bloc is hopelessly divided between countries that do not think Israel has the right to continue to wage war against Hamas, given the large number of civilian casualties, and those who believe that Europe has a moral duty to continue to back the Middle East's only democracy after the savagery of 7 October. At a meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, EU foreign ministers failed to resolve their differences over a proposal to effectively sanction Israel for its hard line on Gaza. Meanwhile, just hours after Donald Trump confirmed his willingness to arm Ukraine in the face of Russia's intensifying bombing campaign there, the EU was forced to postpone a decision over a new Russian sanctions package. The reason? Slovakia – a country that accounts for 0.7% of EU's GDP and about 1% of its population – is blocking it. On the tariff front, the picture is no less confused. After months of negotiations the Commission went into last weekend believing it had escaped Trump's wrath, only to be slapped with the threat of what would be a crippling 30% tariff regime on Saturday. It's easy to blame Trump's volatility and mercurial nature for the outcome. As ever, the truth is a little more complicated. It has since emerged that Brussels wasn't willing to go far enough on China by, in the words of one senior EU official, agreeing to a Trump demand that the bloc 'follow us 100% on what we do on China'. Leopoldo Rubinacci, the Commission official, went on to say: 'I don't think, as a matter of principle, that the European Union should follow examples. I think that the European Union should set its own examples.' The example Europe has set on China is hardly one others should emulate. With Beijing, Europe has slipped on the proverbial Chinese finger trap: Resistance only makes the pain worse. Even as Europe allowed the Chinese to steal most of their intellectual property, European industry – especially the Germans – built up such a heavy dependency on China that it would be impossible to head for the exits, no matter what Trump threatens. That bitter reality explains why the EU ended up in a place where it devotes much its diplomatic energy and moral outrage to castigating a liberal country of 10 million defending itself against terrorism, while saying virtually nothing about the real-life concentration camps China's authoritarian regime has erected in Xinjiang to 're-educate' Uyghurs. It's also why Europe says nothing about China's crackdown in Hong Kong, nothing about the Chinese Communist Party's systematic suppression of Tibet and little about Taiwan. That's where the Casablanca metaphor falls apart. Unlike the hapless gentleman at Rick's, Europe knows exactly who the vultures are; it just lacks the moral clarity and courage to face them down. The Roundup Bigger budget? – The next Multiannual Financial Framework aims to answer mammoth challenges. Can it deliver or will member states savage the Commission proposal? W(h)ining about a trade war – Europe's wine sector has condemned the European Commission's plan to make wine part of its €72 billion push-back against US exports. Meaty veggislation – A draft proposal by the European Commission seeks to restrict the use of traditional meat terms for plant-based products but does not go as far as banning widely used terms such as 'steak', 'burger', and 'sausage'. Across Europe Iranian espionage, German extradition – Denmark extradited a Danish national accused of spying on Jewish Institutions in Berlin on behalf of Iran to Germany, where he could face up to 10 years in prison. Keeping kids off social media – France declared victory in its efforts to ban social media for children under 15 after the Commission unveiled guidelines to protect minors online. Patriot purchase – Denmark and the Netherlands are looking to participate in Donald Trump's plan for Europe to buy American weapons for Ukraine. It is not clear how fast deals can be made.

ITV Coronation Street fans stunned by real-life sibling revelation
Two former Coronation Street stars are actually siblings in real life - and fans are gobsmacked by the news. Coronation Street fans have been left stunned by the revelation that two former characters from the popular soap are actually siblings off-screen. Matt Milburn first graced the cobbles as Weatherfield's footballing sensation, Tommy Orpington, back in October 2016. Tommy was a familiar face until his departure last year, fleeing to Spain with Tracy McDonald amid a scandalous affair plot. The ITV soap saw the duo form a connection over shared interests when Tommy took up painting and decorating, with the pair eventually seizing the chance to work overseas together. However, it has recently come to light for some soap fans that Matt is indeed the real-life brother of Greg Wood, who played Corrie 's notorious villain Rick Neelan. Rick made his entrance in 2009 and swiftly became a thorn in the side of locals, particularly plaguing Gary Windass (played by Mikey North), reports Belfast Live. Gary ended up killing Rick in a bid to protect his family in 2019, concealing his body in the woods. Rick also left behind a daughter, Kelly, played by Doctor Who's Millie Gibson. Aside from Coronation Street, Greg has taken on other roles in other popular television series, including Trevor Royle in Hollyoaks and Terry Gibson in Brookside. Following his brother's lead, Matt pursued an acting career, although their paths on Corrie never crossed on screen. Matt revealed that it was the sight of his brother performing in a college play that lit the spark for his acting career. He told TV Times: "Watching my brother in his first college play ignited my fire for it [acting]. Seeing the adrenaline surge through him afterwards, I thought: 'I'd love to give that a go.' But I just never did." Landing into acting unfolded through an unlikely twist of fate for Greg. He had been set to film a university pals play, when he ended up starring in Brookside and unexpectedly suggested Matt for a role. Central to their story was the play Dealer's Choice by Patrick Marber, which is set against the backdrop of a poker game. Matt disclosed: "We shot it in the basement at night, and it was such a thrill! About three weeks later, I got an audition for Hollyoaks it felt like my university." Coronation Street viewers were left astonished after discovering that Matt and Greg are siblings off-screen, as they took to social media. A bewildered fan exclaimed on Facebook: "SAY WHAT? Today years old when I found out Rick (Greg Wood) and Tommy O (Matt Milburn) are brothers in real life." The revelation prompted various fan comments, one who noted: "It's funny cause when Tommy came back in I thought it was the guy Gary killed, that would explain why they look so alike lol" Echoing the surprise, another added: " wonder I'm thinking it was him who Gary killed." The comment section quickly flooded with surprised fans, as some remarked: "Didn't know that" and "They look similar." Matt boasts an acting career that expands well beyond the cobbles of Coronation Street. His varied television roles include a stint on Emmerdale as Nicky Pritchard back in 2011. He also made his mark in Hollyoaks, where he portrayed Joe Spencer from 2003 to 2006. Matt and Greg aren't the only siblings with ties to Hollyoaks as their sister Jenny Milburn took on the role of Billie Johnson in the series in 2004.
