The “King of the Klondike”, Tony Beets, is not slowing down in season 16 of Gold Rush.

Overview

  • The new season premieres Friday, November 7 at 8/7c on Discovery Channel, with a trailer now out.
  • Discovery positions the season as the franchise’s biggest payday, promoting a collective $100 million haul and heightened rivalries.
  • Promotional materials outline Parker Schnabel’s bid to rebound while carrying operating costs over $100,000 per day with 60 machines and four wash plants.
  • The campaign highlights Tony Beets hitting $500,000 in one week early in the season, alongside family tensions and crew shake-ups.
  • Rick Ness is shown starting with no water license, no claim, and a reduced crew, making a high-risk land wager that could force asset sales if it fails.
