Michael Gilman will be joining the new crew on the spin-off series Below Deck Adventure, and there is a lot to know about the deckhand. He will be working under Below Deck's Captain Kerry Titheradge's command as they charter a yacht along the icy waters of Norway. Fans are excited to see some new faces on their screen who seem ready to bring the drama.
Deckhands Michael, Nathan Morely, and Kyle Dickard will be managed by the latest Below Deck bosun, Lewis Lupton. They will also be working alongside Chef Jess Condy, Cheif Stew Faye Clarke, and stews Kasie Faddah and Oriana Schneps. The trailer got many fans' attention when it was revealed that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay would make an appearance on Below Deck Adventure. Michael seemed to be staying out of a majority of the drama from the looks of the trailer, but fans are hoping to see more of his personality once Below Deck Adventure season 1 airs on November 1.
Though the teaser did not give much away about Below Deck Adventure season 1, it left many fans eager to see more. They showed some highs and lows of the charter season, with the highs being the close bond among the cabin crew and the lows being a kitchen fire along with injured crew members. While the Below Deck Adventure trailer is captivating, fans want to know more about the new Below Deck crew, including deckhand Michael.
