Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been shelved for nearly a year, but Captain Glenn Shephard is offering viewers an exciting update on the show’s future after First Officer Gary King put things in jeopardy. Throughout the run of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Captain Glenn has had to deal with the ebbs and flows of his crew in their professional lives, as well as in their personal lives. Throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, Captain Glenn took notice of Gary’s sometimes disrespectful behavior, but after a scandal created backlash against Gary, it could impact the show’s future.
Captain Glenn Shephard shared news about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.
While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been filmed for almost an entire year, the season has yet to be released for reasons Bravo hasn’t announced. It seems like Gary’s sexual misconduct allegations, which came out after the release of the last season of the series, are to blame for Sailing Yacht‘s lack of new content, but Captain Glenn has shared news about the season. “I think it’s coming soon, but I don’t know exactly when,” Captain Glenn shared with The Standard. “All I can say is, ‘It’s coming soon.’ We just have to be patient.”
They announced it at BravoCon in November. But then it didn’t air in spring or summer. I think it’s coming soon, but I don’t know exactly when. The network decides that. I get endless questions on social media about it, but all I can say is, ‘It’s coming soon.’ We just have to be patient.
What Captain Glenn’s Update Means for Sailing Yacht Season 5
The Season Seems To Be Coming Soon
Although Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been reported to be returning already, there’s been no confirmation or timeline about when it’s coming back to Bravo, which has led to many questions about its whereabouts. While some have been certain that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is coming soon, others have wondered about the validity of the confirmation of the show’s return. Captain Glenn seems to be certain that the series will be coming back, though he doesn’t know when it will hit Bravo. With the Captain’s confirmation, viewers should feel confident they’ll see Sailing Yacht again.
Captain Glenn’s confirmation about the show does come with a caveat, as he’s not totally sure when Below Deck Sailing Yacht will return to the network. Though he appears to know that the next season is coming, the fact that it’s been derailed so heavily has thrown a curveball into the mix. The allegations against Gary came from a Below Deck franchise makeup artist, which made things even more complicated for the team behind the series when reassessing what’s happening with the show. While Gary has denied the allegations, things have been tricky to navigate for the Below Deck spin-off.
Our Take On Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Delay
Below Deck Sailing Yacht Shouldn’t Return
Although Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been a staple for the last several years in the Below Deck franchise, the series returning could be a bad look for Bravo. Many have been excited for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 to return, but with Gary’s poor behavior putting a stain on the series, it seems clear that bringing him back to viewers’ screens on Bravo could be a negative for the network. While Gary has been inclined to deny the allegations, seeing his consistently poor behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht again could push viewers to look into his past.
