Is The Curse of Oak Island season 13 happening? Everything we know so far
If you're low-key obsessed with The Curse of Oak Island, trust me—you're not the only one. Since 2014, it's been the perfect mix of history, mystery, and the kind of treasure-hunting drama that just keeps pulling you back in. Rick and Marty Lagina have spent over a decade digging (literally and figuratively) into Oak Island's secrets, and after Season 12 wrapped up on May 20, 2025, fans have been wondering the same thing: Is Season 13 happening or not? Let's break down what we know so far. Has Season 13 Been Confirmed?
As of July 2025, the History Channel hasn't made anything official. No big press release, no teaser trailer, no cryptic tweet. But that doesn't necessarily mean bad news. The show's been going strong for years, and it still pulls in a solid fanbase who lives for every 'could it be?' moment.
Plus, the way Season 12 ended—with the 25th episode titled 'Uplifting Discoveries' —felt more like a mid-journey pause than a goodbye. There are still so many unanswered questions about the Money Pit, the swamp, Lot 5, and all those puzzling Templar/Viking connections they keep chasing.
Oh, and get this—some fans spotted camera crews and equipment on the island earlier this year. Someone even posted a photo on Facebook that sparked a whole wave of 'it's happening!' comments. While that's not official confirmation, it lines up with the show's usual filming schedule (summer shoots, fall premiere). So yeah… something might be brewing. What Could Season 13 Be About?
Assuming it is coming, Season 13 would probably pick up right where things left off. The Money Pit still holds center stage—especially after that frustrating shaft collapse slowed them down last season. The team might bring in new tech (there's talk about a 'Honeycomb Caisson barrage'—whatever that is) to go deeper and safer.
Lot 5 has been another major focus, especially after they found that mysterious gemstone and started linking things to the Knights Templar. Some fans think it might've even been a sacred site of some kind. And don't forget the swamp—because of course the swamp still has secrets. Cobblestone paths, weirdly shaped structures… it never stops.
Oh, and remember that Malta trip from Season 12? They were chasing a bloodline tied to the Templars. That international angle could easily continue, maybe even expanding to Viking theories. This show loves blending history, myth, and science—so expect more of that mashup. Who's Coming Back?
Unless there are major surprises, you can probably expect all the familiar faces to return: Rick Lagina , the heart and soul of the whole hunt.
Marty Lagina , his practical, often-skeptical brother who keeps things grounded.
Craig Tester , the quiet powerhouse behind all the drilling ops.
Alex Lagina , Marty's son, who's taken on a bigger role over the years.
Gary Drayton , the metal-detecting legend who never met a 'bobby dazzler' he didn't love.
And the usual crew: Laird Niven, Jack Begley, Dan Henskee, Charles Barkhouse, and Peter Fornetti—basically the Oak Island Avengers at this point.
There's no official word on any new faces, but this core team is a big part of the show's charm. They're the reason fans keep watching—even when the treasure stays stubbornly out of reach. When Could Season 13 Premiere?
If the show follows its usual pattern, and if Season 13 is indeed filming now, we could be looking at a premiere around November 2025, or maybe early 2026 if production takes longer. Funding from Nova Scotia Business Inc. has helped keep past seasons alive, so there's always a chance we'll see more support to keep the dig going.
