Fox News
"Gold Rush" star Todd Hoffman left behind the hit TV series in 2018. Now, he and his family are back for Discovery Channel's "Hoffman Family Gold."
"We felt like we were getting pushed over into the corner of our own show. And you start to feel a little jaded. When you do feel that way, you have to choose family first. You can’t just stay on a show, and you’re hurting your relationships. You pick your family first. We needed a break. Having your kids grow up in front of a TV set is not exactly healthy at all for every family."
The 52-year-old left "Gold Rush" after a disappointing mining season in Colorado. But three years later, Hoffman is back in front of cameras. This time, he’s launching his own series on the Discovery Channel, "Hoffman Family Gold." It will follow his family to Alaska and the family's hopes of striking it rich.
