Keep reading to find out more.

Alaskan Bush People: Bear Breaks His Silence About The Show’s Status

As we mentioned before, Bear did provide fans with some clarity regarding the show’s status. He explained that he had not spoken to anyone from Discovery for nearly a year, which pushed him to reach out directly. According to him, he contacted a representative who oversees several Discovery projects and asked for a concrete update. Bear said the representative took his question to the team and later returned with what the higher-ups had to say.

He revealed that the network has not cancelled the show. Instead, it remains on hiatus, and the delay comes from major network changes behind the scenes. He mentioned the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery as one of the reasons for the delay. And added that more mergers could still be in discussion. Even after all that, Bear insisted that Discovery does not want to abandon the franchise. He told fans that he was willing to wait as he gained all these fans through the show.

Alaskan Bush People: Fans Share Honest Reactions As Doubts Continue To Grow

After hearing what Bear had to say, fans quickly reacted online. A Reddit post teased Bear for believing the show might claw its way out of the grave. They pointed out his trip north, where he claimed he would scout real estate but soon gave up after realizing a handshake could not secure land. Fans also recalled how he camped just a short distance from the road, taped his Starlink to a bucket, attempted knife-throwing, posed with his gun, and fished unsuccessfully with a string tied to a stick.

Commenters did not hold back. One user argued that Discovery already has enough episodes to license to streaming platforms, so producing new content is unnecessary. Another called the family “one big case study,” while someone else expressed sadness that the children had pinned their futures on the show without gaining real-world skills. A few longtime fans admitted they would still tune in if new episodes aired, simply because they had watched the family for years.

Others pointed out that different brothers have claimed the show is on “hiatus” at different times. They also speculated whether this was all planned to create online traction and keep the fans interested. Many also laughed at Bear’s recent trip, describing it as far from bushcraft and more like a casual roadside camping outing. Even with all the criticism, the core debate was still present. Is the hiatus genuine, or is the franchise quietly fading away? For the latest Alaskan Bush People tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
