Gold Rush: White Water fans won’t have to wait much longer — the high-stakes adventure returns soon with Season 9 of the thrilling Discovery Channel series. This time, Dustin Hurt is pushing even harder, willing to risk everything in his relentless pursuit of gold. And if you’re not on board with his vision? Dustin’s ready to cut you loose. It’s clear that the late Dakota Fred Hurt’s son is stepping deeper into his father’s legacy while forging a tougher leadership style of his own.
Here’s everything fans of the Gold Rush spinoff need to know ahead of the new season.
Dustin Hurt Takes Charge in Gold Rush: White Water Season 9
While the series may have begun as Dakota Fred Hurt’s wild idea, TV Insider now confirms that Dustin Hurt is fully owning the spotlight in Season 9. After last season’s massive gold haul, Dustin is aiming even higher. “I’m here to hit a jackpot,” he declares. And he’s not wasting time on doubters. “You cross me and I will cut you loose.”
This season, Dustin and his crew head deep into the Alaskan wilderness — to what he calls “the most dangerous place we’ve ever been.” The new terrain brings unpredictable challenges, treacherous waters, and relentless weather. Dustin warns his team that he can’t promise everyone’s safety, and yet, no one turns back.
Returning with Dustin this season are familiar faces: Carlos Minor, James Hamm, Wes Richardson, Paul Richardson, and Danielle Miller — each prepared to face nature’s fury and Dustin’s tough leadership style.
A Softer Side of Dustin Hurt
Amid the harsh landscape and heavy risks, viewers also get a rare, tender moment: Dustin sharing a warm embrace with his young daughter. It’s a powerful reminder of what drives him — family. While he may seem hardened by the hunt for gold, it’s clear his heart is still grounded in love and responsibility.
When Does Gold Rush: White Water Season 9 Premiere?
The new season of Gold Rush: White Water premieres on Friday, April 25, at 8 p.m. ET on the Discovery Channel. Episodes will also be available to stream the following day on Discovery+ and Max.
