Bravo has surprised fans with an early premiere of the newest season of Below Deck Mediterranean, promising a season filled with bombshells. The network announced that the show would air once Below Deck season 11 concludes, introducing a cast shakeup with the return of fan-favorite Aesha Scott alongside Captain Sandy Yawn.
The upcoming season, set in Greece, follows the success of the previous season that left viewers on the edge of their seats with drama. Season 8 saw a mix of tension and personal relationships among the crew, including accusations of forged paperwork, crew promotions, and romantic entanglements.
Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean is set to premiere on June 3, 2024, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock the following day. The new season will feature familiar faces like Elena Dubaich and introduce newcomers Bri Muller and Chef Johnathan Shillingford. The exterior crew includes bosun Iain Maclean, deckhands Joe Bradley, Nathan Gallager, and Gael Cameron.
The synopsis teases eccentric guests, late-night demands, mechanical issues, delayed provisions, and a medical emergency. The official trailer hints at boatmances and a love triangle, with a series first appearance from Sandy's girlfriend, Leah Shafer, who is set to make a cameo and a proposal.
Viewers can expect a mix of highs and lows in the upcoming season, with crew members facing challenging situations and conflicts that need resolution. The chef's culinary skills will be put to the test, and Sandy will be seen laying down the law to ensure smooth sailing on the yacht.
With the anticipation building for the return of Below Deck Mediterranean, fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere to see how the crew navigates the challenges and surprises that await them on the high seas.
