Discovery Networks has renewed its local production, Abalone Wars for a fifth season.

Produced by NHNZ the factual series ventures inside the high stakes game of one of the world’s most dangerous professions off Port Lincoln, South Australia. Every day beneath the waves is a fight for survival, but when millions of dollars’ worth of abalone lay waiting, just below the surface, who can resist?

The series was greenlit through Discovery Networks’ annual local production initiative – Discovery Ignite.

Abalone Wars has become synonymous with Discovery Channel,” said Mandy Pattinson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Australia, New Zealand & Pacific Islands, Discovery Networks Asia Pacific. “Over the years it has achieved great success here in Australia as well as internationally, and its inclusion in Shark Week 2016 will further strengthen the fantastic lineup of premiere programming secured for this annual broadcast event. We’re incredibly proud to continue to bring this world-class franchise to Foxtel subscribers and thrilled to welcome back our crews. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for the new season.”

Season 5 will see return later this year with Shark Week host Andrew “ET” Ettingshausen set to try his hand at abalone diving.
