A special “The Off-Season” episode for GOLD RUSH Season 2 will be aired on October 28, 2011 at 8PM ET/PT. An enormous success in the first season, GOLD RUSH shares a story about a group of down-on-their-luck men lead by Todd Hoffman who risked everything to strike it rich mining for gold in Alaska. The Off Season telecast will show the hard work the Hoffmans put in between mining seasons to make sure they hit the mother lode this time around. The last season was all about the Hoffman’s dream to mine their way out of financially hard times by practically selling everything they owned to fund their quest for gold in Porcupine Creek, Alaska.
“But after sinking $250,000 into the project, they found only $20,000 worth of gold by the end of their long, hard rookie season. A dismal end to a summer filled with injuries, broken machinery, constant fighting and an unhappy claim owner,” Discovery Channel shares about the first season of GOLD RUSH.” This spring, they headed north once again to Porcupine Creek, Alaska to settle unfinished business and find the gold at the bottom of the glory hole. But right as things finally start to go their way, unforeseen circumstances threaten to jeopardize their dream of striking it rich in the frozen north. With the mining season slipping away, the Hoffman crew is forced to come up with a new plan in order to salvage what could be their last mining season.”
