How to watch The Curse of Oak Island season 12 online from anywhere
Will the Money Pit area finally live up to its name?
We're all slaves to the sunk costs fallacy in The Curse of Oak Island, the addictive treasure-hunting reality show that's spent so long attempting to prove Captain Kidd's legendary trove is real that it can never afford to give up. The Curse of Oak Island season 12 premieres on Tuesday, November 12 in the US. If you're on holiday when it arrives, watch The Curse of Oak Island season 12 from anywhere with a VPN.
You won't find a more loyal fanbase anywhere, with many of the tormented discussions on The Curse of Oak Island forums giving the actual show a run for its money. At this point long-suffering viewers know exactly what they're going to be getting, yet switching off would mean giving up on the dream.
So far, Lagina brothers Marty and Rick – together with their hordes of archaeology, engineering, and geology consultants, armed to the teeth with state-of-the-art machinery that would really find better use literally anywhere else – have unearthed a handful of artefacts that may or may not pass authentication testing.
The real payoff, of course, is that Marty and Rick got a show out of it. Season 12 will see them use heavy machinery to dig deeper into the Money Pit area, South Shore, and Smith’s Cove than anyone's ever managed before.
Here's how to watch The Curse of Oak Island season 12 online from anywhere in the world.
