Viewers of the popular reality series, The Curse of Oak Island, are currently facing a brief hiatus from new episodes. The show, which follows the Lagina brothers as they search for treasure and uncover the mysteries of Oak Island, has not aired since February 14, 2026, and will not return until February 24, 2026.
Reason Behind the Break
The absence of new content this week, from February 16 to February 22, is attributed to a planned two-week break in the series. Such breaks are not uncommon in reality television, often intended to extend a show’s duration over a longer timeframe or to allow production teams to finalize upcoming episodes. While the specific rationale for this pause has not been officially confirmed, the timing suggests a strategic decision to build anticipation among fans.
Additionally, networks may opt to present special programming or other shows in the time slot, potentially contributing to the delay in airing new episodes. Other factors, such as the availability of cast members or scheduling conflicts, could also play a role in the show’s temporary absence.
What to Expect When the Show Returns
Fans of The Curse of Oak Island can look forward to the return of the series on February 24, 2026, at 18:00 PT and 21:00 ET on the History Channel. The upcoming episode, titled “Swamped,” will see the Lagina brothers and their team continuing their exploration in the Money Pit area, where they hope to unveil significant findings. Previous investigations, including the last episode titled “The Shining,” highlighted a massive boulder on Lot 8, alongside evidence that hinted at the existence of a second Money Pit.
As the anticipation builds, fans remain engaged with the series’ rich history and the ongoing mysteries of Oak Island. The combination of thrilling discoveries and the allure of the island’s legends continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
