Some assumed the show was canceled since other of History Channel’s other popular shows aired in its place. Ratings have been on a steep decline after the firing of fan-favorite Frank Fritz.

According to the official documents obtained by The U.S. Sun from the United States Patent & Trademark Office, A&E Televisions Network filed a trademark on September 7, 2022.
