Below Deck Down Under Season 3 is scheduled to air on Bravo in February. However, Chief Stew Aesha Scott will not be returning for this season as she is taking a break after her successful appearance on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9. While fans may miss Scott, they can look forward to the return of Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph and Deckhand Harry Van Vliet from Season 2.
Captain Jason Chambers will be back in charge, leading a new crew aboard the Motor Yacht Katina, which is the largest vessel featured in the franchise so far. The crew includes Chief Stew Lara Rigby, Bosun Wihan Du Toit, Deckhands Johnny Arvanitis and Adair Werley, and Stews Brianna Duffield and Marina Marcondes de Barros. For the first time in the franchise, Sous-Chef Anthony Bird will assist Mace-Ralph in the galley.
The upcoming season promises plenty of drama, as shown in the teaser. Expect demanding guests like Corrine Olympios from The Bachelor, intriguing costumes, romantic connections, and conflicts among the crew, notably involving Du Toit, Van Vliet, and Rigby. One of the most interesting storylines revolves around the relationship between Rigby and Mace-Ralph.
“You’re being a dickhead,” says Rigby to Mace-Ralph as she angrily carries a plate out of the galley. “I’m being a dickhead?” asks Mace-Ralph in shock. “You’re being so unorganized!” Then, a montage plays in which Mace-Ralph calls Rigby “the biggest control freak [she’s] ever met” in her voiceover. The most shocking moment comes when Chambers sits Rigby down to address her issue with Mace-Ralph. “She’s saying I bullied her,” explains Rigby. “That’s not bullying; that’s my professional opinion.” “I will not tolerate the heads of my departments yelling at each other,” warns Chambers .
Will Chambers be able to swim against the “undercurrent of negativity” aboard the Katrina? Tune in Monday, February 3, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo to find out!
Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
