When Is The New Season Of Forged In Fire

Okay, let's be honest. We all have that one show we're secretly (or not-so-secretly) obsessed with. For me, it's Forged in Fire.

I love the drama. I adore the explosions. And I am endlessly impressed by people who can turn a rusty nail into a functional weapon.

So, When's the Next Season Already?!

This is the question that keeps me up at night. (Okay, maybe not literally keeps me up, but you get the idea.)

Tracking down the exact air date feels like a quest worthy of the show itself. The History Channel plays coy. Google gives vague answers. The suspense is killing me!

The Eternal Wait

It feels like it's been forever since the last season. Is it just me, or does time move slower when you're waiting for more Forced in Fire?

I’ve even started dreaming about Damascus steel. That's when I know I need a fix.

I spend too much time watching old episodes. I need new blades! New fails! New Doug Marcaida saying "It will kill!"

My Unpopular Forged in Fire Opinions

Here’s where things get spicy. I have a few Forged in Fire opinions that might raise some eyebrows.

First, I actually like the historical segments. Yes, even the ones that seem to drag on. I learn something new every time! Don't @ me.

Second, I think Ben Abbott is the most underrated judge. He knows his stuff, people!

The Judging Panel

Speaking of judges, let's be real. They all have their quirks.

David Baker is the knowledgeable elder statesman. Doug is the enthusiastic weapon expert. And Ben is the quiet force of reason.

But let's not forget the legendary J. Neilson, the original badass with the soul-piercing stare! He set the standard, and we miss him!

What I Hope to See in the New Season

More creative challenges! Less "can it cut through ballistic gel?" tests. (Okay, maybe a few ballistic gel tests.)

I want to see them forge a trebuchet! Or a suit of armor! Go big or go home, History Channel!

And please, for the love of all that is sharp and pointy, give us more contestants with epic beards.

My Forged in Fire Wishlist

Imagine a crossover episode! Forged in Fire meets Alone. Bladesmiths have to survive in the wilderness using only what they forge.

I would also accept a celebrity edition. Imagine watching Martha Stewart forge a katana! Peak television.

Mostly, I just want more of the show's charm. The camaraderie, the competition, and the sheer artistry of it all.

So... Still No Air Date?

Sadly, as of this writing, the release date of the new season remains a mystery. We must be patient.

But I will keep searching. And I will keep refreshing the History Channel website. And I will keep dreaming of Damascus steel.

Because one thing's for sure: when that new season finally drops, I'll be ready. Popcorn? Check. Beverage? Check. Enthusiasm? Off the charts.
