'Gold Rush' star Fred Lewis addresses 'comeback' rumors with cryptic comment
Fred Lewis may not be a regular cast member on Discovery Channel's 'Gold Rush', but fans can always count on him to make a return for a few episodes each season. Unfortunately, Fred will not make an appearance in Season 15. In a comment section of his social media post, his followers asked if he would be returning to the mining show. However, he fueled the rumors with a cryptic response after sharing a selfie next to an excavator.
Fred wrote, "This is my comeback and the Misfits comeback and we will share with everyone up to date, real mining real time!" Meanwhile, when fans demanded clarification, Fred confirmed, saying, "Nope you gonna have to follow the adventure here and on YouTube." Fred may not have been the most successful miner, but he has always been a fan favorite and a beloved figure among his employees. His co-workers were thrilled after he made his return in Season 14. However, he seemingly stepped away from the mining show after Parker Schnabel allegedly claimed it no longer made sense to have him join the team in Season 14.
