variety.comJennifer Maas TV Business Writer “Wicked Tuna” has been canceled by National Geographic following the conclusion of its Season 13 run.
Filmed on location in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the surrounding waters, “Wicked Tuna” follows a group of salty fishermen from the nation’s oldest seaport as they make their living the way it’s been done for centuries — rod and reel fishing, one catch at a time — all in pursuit of the bluefin tuna.
