Jeremy Wade, the daring British outdoorsman who practically brought some of the world’s modern-day dinosaurs into your living room, disappointed diehard fans in 2017 when “River Monsters” came to an end after nine seasons.
Citing the simple fact that there were essentially no more fish to catch—at least of the Jurassic-looking variety—Wade opted to hang up his rod rather than force the show to continue.

“Some shows can run forever, but our subject matter is finite,” Wade explained when the final season was announced. “10 years ago, I had a list in my head, which seemed impossibly ambitious at the time, but everything has now been ticked off—and then some.”
But that was then, and this is now.
Wade stunned fans on Monday by announcing a major return nearly a decade after his biggest show ended, simply stating: “I’m back.”

The pair will revisit some of the extraordinary catches, near misses and lingering mysteries from “River Monsters,” while some members of the original crew will join them to reveal behind-the-scenes insights and previously unreleased stories from their adventures.
“People tend to ask about the biggest fish or the closest I’ve come to being killed,” Wade said in announcing the project. “Some of these questions have a fairly short answer. But some stories can take a bit longer.”
Nearly a decade after “River Monsters” ended, the show is still a hit, drawing in a new generation of viewers online.
According to ITV Studios, “River Monsters” content has racked up more than 1.74 billion views across social video channels over the past year alone, averaging 4.77 million views per day.
“Fish On! With Jeremy Wade” launches exclusively for Patreon members Oct. 20 before becoming publicly available Oct. 27 on YouTube, Spotify and podcast platforms.
