Gold Rush: White Water Surprisingly Canceled

It turns out, based on the latest updates making the rounds, that Gold Rush: White Water was officially given the boot and canceled. The program filmed nine seasons for Discovery, first airing in 2018. A ninth and final season of the show filmed last summer, and it is currently in post-production.

Based on an email sent out to crew members, Line Producer Jonathan Knapp said in this email: “for now the series is on indefinite pause.” However, in the same email, he also went on to say that Discovery “may look at bringing the series back in some form in the longer term.”

So, while this may leave the door open for something else down the line, at least for now, they are hitting the indefinite pause button on it.

  1. Bummer that Gold Rush: White Water’s ending! 😭 I love all the Gold Rush shows, but this one’s my fave. ❤️ What makes it so great is Dustin’s awesome team—they’re all such hard workers and good friends! It’s so cool seeing them tackle tough challenges together, that whole “man against the mountain” vibe… “sink or swim!” 💪 They work hard, play hard, and face everything head-on. Honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the Gold Rush universe. 💨 #GoldRush #WhiteWater #Dustin #Teamwork #Friendship #RealityTV #Mining.

    1. That is my favorite gold rush show also. I really do not like the discovery channel. They are constantly cancelling shows and without an ending or with a cliffhanger. The history channel is also notorious for doing this. I think the reason is that they just don’t give a deal about the viewers.

  2. I like Whit Water more than the other GoldRush shows. I can better identify. Bring it back. I’ll take this one over the others.

  3. Gold Rush White Water was the best version of Gold Rush. They should have kept it on the air and cancelled Gold Rush.

  4. Man this is REALLY DISAPPOINTING! I think White Water was the best of all the gold shows. Every year I looked forward to is after the regular Gold Rush season ended. I am very upset by this news.

  5. I ended up loving the white water show better than anything else, this lovely group of enthusiasts did the most outrageous things on a budget not including miljon $ dozers or equipment that make it impossible for us regular people to feel involved. Instead these guys did it in a way we all could feel very much involved and attached to.
    I really hope they will be back on the screen, if not -I will still root for them and hope they are successful in the future.

  6. I watch a very limited amount of television, but enjoy regularly watching Gold Rush Whitewater (along with Gold Rush and Oak Island). These shows highlight real people doing something authentic that includes challenges, relationships, problem solving, hard work, goal pursuit, history, and wealth. Whitewater adds adventure and connects on a basic level with everyday people. I like this show better than 95% of the other shows on Discovery because it’s a new adventure and I want to find out what happens.
