“Deadliest Catch” Captains Quit Show

Three of the stars of Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” have decided to leave the show, following the network’s decision to begin proceedings against them over their failure to begin work on the spinoff show “Hillstranded.” The name is based on the stars’ last name, Hillstrand. The trio, Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand, and Sig Hansen, released a statement indicating that the litigation is the reason for their decision to leave “Deadliest Catch.”
