Since its debut in March 2022, Below Deck Down Under, a spin-off of the immensely popular Below Deck reality TV franchise, has carved its own niche within the series. Focused on the lives of crew stewards aboard a luxurious yacht spanning over 150 feet, the show captures all the tantalizing guest dramas, scandalous boatman controversies, and explosive clashes of personalities beneath the scorching Australian sun.
During its second season, a pivotal shift occurred in production rights as the series transitioned from Peacock to Bravo Studios. However, this change didn’t hinder the show’s ability to deliver riveting moments. In fact, many argue that the move to Bravo Studios paved the way for even more eccentric and creative storylines. Now, several months later, ardent fans are eagerly awaiting news about a potential third season of Below Deck Down Under.
The latest update on season 3 of Below Deck Down Under came during Bravocon in New York City on November 3, 2023. Amidst a flurry of panel discussions, celebrity meetups, and immersive experiences, the official announcement of the upcoming third season delighted fans. Alongside Below Deck Down Under, other spin-offs such as Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht were also confirmed for renewal.
In a subsequent interview with In Touch Weekly in December 2023, Captain Jason shed light on his role in the series. Despite being somewhat distanced from the production process, he expressed his commitment to providing dynamic personal leadership, a hallmark of his tenure on the show.
As for the release date, reports from The New York Times by the last week of March revealed that filming for season 3 had commenced as early as March. Noah Samton, Senior Vice President of Unscripted Current Production at NBC Universal, emphasized the show’s commitment to reinventing itself while staying true to its original premise. With Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 and Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 also on the horizon, it’s anticipated that Below Deck Down Under Season 3 will likely premiere in late 2024 or early 2025.
