For 11 seasons, we’ve all been captivated by the mysterious and elusive treasure of Oak Island. Week after week, and season after season, brothers Rick and Marty Lagina, along with their dedicated team of researchers and investigators, have scoured the small Canadian island searching for answers to one of history’s longest-running and most perplexing treasure hunts: The Curse of Oak Island.
As the eleventh season of the hit History Channel series concluded earlier this year, many fans were left wondering if it’s time to wrap the quest up, or if there’s a season 12 of The Curse of Oak Island on the way. The response, which began as a frantic back and forth, appears to have suddenly gained momentum once more, with both fans and the broader public eagerly awaiting word on whether the treasure hunt will continue.
Is it too early to tell?
Both the History Channel and the production team behind The Curse of Oak Island are well-known for keeping mum about show updates. However, fans of the mystery television series will be thrilled to know that development on the island for the next chapter has finally begun, and we may be in for a surprise announcement shortly.
A personal blog run by a nearby resident of Nova Scotia has recently been providing fans with updates and images of the current development on the island. According to the source, the first few months felt uneasily quiet, and it wasn’t until a few months ago that the residents began seeing a lot of comings and goings on the island, the majority of which were most likely production crew members for the series. On one account, she said, “Finally things are ramping up on Oak Island. Truck load after truck load of gravel, some big earth moving equipment, a new office building. I am expecting to see Irving next! Just a guess but that’s what it looks like!”
Nonetheless, Matty Blake has been the only cast member spotted working on the island, alongside the production crew. Gary Dalton, the other cast member who still has an active social media presence, has been making regular updates with videos and photos of his day-to-day treasure-hunting adventures, although, on most accounts, he refuses to make known his location on such posts. Gary has always been the type of person who keeps his cards close to his chest, and never speaks up about what is going on at Oak Island.
So, when can we expect season 12 of The Curse of Oak Island?
With all of the recent happenings on the island, and the plethora of side updates from reliable sources, the season 12 renewal should arrive at any moment. The latest ramp-up on the island also suggests that we could expect a return by late 2024 or early 2025. However, the fate that lies ahead of The Curse of Oak Island season 12 remains uncertain. Having already outlasted many other reality and documentary series, there’s always the possibility that the network and the production team may decide that the time has come to wrap up the treasure hunt, and bring the satisfying story to a conclusion.
