WINTER IS HERE!
THE HISTORY(R) CHANNEL'S EPIC ORIGINAL SERIES "ICE ROAD TRUCKERS" RETURNS FOR A MONUMENTAL TWELFTH SEASON PREMIERING ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1 AT 9:30PM ET/PT
New York, NY - September 3, 2025 - The HISTORY(R) Channel's hit original series "Ice Road Truckers" is back for an epic season twelve return on Wednesday, October 1 at 9:30pm ET/PT. From its original series premiere in 2007 to a several years long hiatus, the fearless truckers return like never before to the treacherous terrain of icy roads and frozen lakes in Northern Canada delivering crucial supplies and necessities to isolated communities. With a winter window shorter than ever and no time to waste, these drivers risk everything to haul in a lifeline of goods while chasing big paydays before the opportunity melts away under their chained tires.
"The timing couldn't be better to bring back a beloved series that once resonated with our viewers for over a decade," said Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for The HISTORY Channel. "We're pleased to have this new season of 'Ice Road Truckers' be a co-production with our Canadian partners at Corus Entertainment as this season ventures into a new era of storytelling for the series that infuses fresh energy and new challenges while honoring its rich legacy."
At the world's northern edge, people and cultures cut off from civilization are briefly connected by a lifeline of roads paved with ice. Each year, a group of skilled, highly trained, and thrill-seeking truckers put their lives on the line to beat nature's clock - battling dangerous roads, deadly frostbite, and brutal conditions to deliver life-saving supplies such as food and building materials to remote communities. This season, veterans like Todd Dewey and Lisa Kelly return with no hesitation - and no practice runs - while rookies emerge, determined to prove they have what it takes to reign supreme on the ice. With higher stakes, greater risks, and bigger rewards than ever before, it's them vs. nature.
