Life Below Zero: Port Protection follows the lives of the Port Protection residents, who actually make up about fifteen per cent of the area’s population.
The show, which is technically a continuation of Port Protection Alaska and airs every Tuesday night, is a NatGeo series that first premiered in 2015.
Speaking to Reality Blurred in 2020, executive producer, Joseph Litzinger, said that the show will be “a fresh take on the much loved first season, with an added Life Below Zero edge.”

Life Below Zero: Port Protection is actually a renamed version of the previous Port Protection show which debuted back in 2015.
Some of the previous cast members, such as Hans and Timbi Porter and Amanda Makar all left the show after its second season.
Speaking to Reality Blurred in 2020, a spokesperson for National Geographic said: “It’s been a couple of years in between filming and some of the residents have moved away. The good news is that there are new residents who will start to be incorporated in the cast as the season progresses.“
