Sig Hansen and His Brothers Are *Literally* Making Waves

‘Deadliest Catch’ features crabbing mavens of Alaska Captain Sig Hansen and his brothers, Norman and Edgar. Now they are on ‘The Viking Returns.’

After their good fortune on Deadliest Catch, the Hansen family is taking price of a brand new vessel out in Norway. Yes, Captain Sig Hansen and his family are heading back to the homeland in a new series known as The Viking Returns. The new Discovery series options Deadliest Catch’s best possible captain out on new waters, fishing on the coast of Norway after the Alaskan Red King Crab fishery is close down.

Not most effective is Sig Hansen out within the Norwegian waters, but he takes his family with him, including his daughter, 27-year-old Mandy. Did Sig go away his brothers behind, or are they out in Norway with him? What came about to Norman and Edgar Hansen? And who else is in Sig Hansen’s circle of relatives?

Sig Hansen’s brothers, Norman and Edgar Hansen, have labored with Sig their complete lives.

Sig and his brothers come from a long line of Norwegian fishermen. He’s the oldest of the three Hansen siblings, and started working on their father’s boat when he used to be just 14-years-old. Their father, Sverre Hansen, was descended from an extended line of Norwegian-ancestry fishermen, and if truth be told spoke Norwegian with his three sons. In the summers, Sig and his brothers would once in a while shuttle to Norway with their father and grandfather to catch mackerel and cod.

As they got older, Sig took over the circle of relatives crabbing trade, and by means of age 22-years-old he become a “reduction skipper” on the Northwestern, and via 24-years-old, Sig used to be working the Northwestern full-time. His brothers, Norman and Edgar, were the deckhand and deck boss of the Northwestern, respectively. However, the whole circle of relatives has not too long ago gotten into some sizzling water.

While Norman hasn’t gotten into any bother with the regulation, like his brothers, Norman did have a seizure whilst onboard the Northwestern. Apparently, Norman had a head injury that caused the seizure, and while he did neatly after getting better, he would possibly not spend much more time fishing in the unhealthy stipulations of the unruly Alaskan (or Norwegian) waters.

Edgar, on the other hand, will most probably never come again to the Discovery Channel. In July 2018, he pled guilty to fourth-degree sexual assault. Basically, a 16-year-old Mountlake Terrace resident published that Edgar sexually assaulted her in fall 2017 to her therapist, so Edgar pled in charge and gained a 364-day suspended prison sentence. He apologized in courtroom, “I'm very sorry for that conduct, and I've commenced treatment to ensure that nothing like this attack ever occurs again."

While Edgar is no longer on Deadliest Catch, some longtime fans think he may still work on the boat off-screen and in the background. But Edgar isn’t the only Hansen brother who’s had run-ins with the law. Sig himself had an incident with an Uber driver when he was out partying with his family. When the driver wouldn’t accept cash, Sig yelled at and spat at the driver, and then kicked a door, causing $1,800 of damage to the car.

Sig was given a year of probation, and stated shortly after his arrest, “I am terribly sorry for my behavior and am very embarrassed by it. I owe a bunch of people apologies ... I have no excuse, and accept responsibility for my actions. I made a boneheaded move last night, and I am sorry."

Now, Sig is out on the open waters of Norway with his adopted daughter, Mandy, who also speaks Norwegian. Mandy’s daughter, Sailor Marie, also spends a while with Sig on-screen, even though she’s now not relatively sufficiently old to work on the ship yet. In the new sequence, much of it shows Sig passing the baton off to Mandy, so now not handiest are we gearing up for a brand new international of fishing in Norway, however perhaps a brand new Deadliest Catch captain.

Deadliest Catch: The Viking Returns airs every Tuesday at Nine p.m. EST on Discovery.
