Every year as the current season of The Curse of Oak Island comes to a close there is always talk about whether there will be another season. Will they keep hunting for the answers to the mystery and for lost treasure? Will there be a season 8?

Yes, there is another season. Tonight is the premier of Season 8 of The Curse of Oak Island  and this year there is the added drama of whether they would be able to continue the search with all the restrictions from COVID-19.

The episode tonight is titled Remote Control, and from trailers it looks like Rick and Marty will be overseeing activities on Oak Island from home.

This makes me think of the difficulties I have in teaching remotely and how it will translate to what they are doing. It will definitely not be easy.

It will be interesting to see where they will be digging or exploring this year as they begin a new season.

Will they undertake one of the big projects they proposed as the end of last season?

I don’t see them doing the biggest project they talked about because of what is going on this year, but perhaps they will get things set up for a Season 9.

The operations at the site will have already been completed, so perhaps they will give hints of what is to come later in the season.

Tonight is a two hour episode and I hope that they don’t spend most of the time recapping the last season. Please give us a good preview of what is to come.

How many episodes will there be this year? I don’t expect that there will be as many as last year. Should we already start discussing whether there will be a Season 9 of The Curse of Oak Island?

What will they find this year?
