Reality Tea also dropped seven names rumoured to join the crew next year, including Tzoni Arvanitis (Bosun), Wihan Du Toit (Deckhand), Adair Werley (Deckhand), Nicolas Cattelan (Deckhand), Brianna Duffield (Stew), and Marina Marcondes (Stew).
Lara Rigby is also tipped to be the Chief Stew after Aesha Scott made the move to Below Deck Mediterranean. However, her social media appears to have been deactivated since she was rumoured to join the cast.
Where is Below Deck Down Under Season Three filmed?
One eagle-eyed fan took to Reddit after spotting a film crew in La Digue, Seychelles, a small country in East Africa.
“Walking along Anse Source D’Argent yesterday and came across the crew filming around a lunch table for an ‘unnamed boat show’ to air in the future. The cameramen had hats with Below Deck written on the back,” they wrote.
Another user responded, stating they’d got details about a “potential casting” for the show, confirming the crew was for BDDU Season Three.
“They’ll be filming for another two weeks there,” they added. And we think this is an interesting choice of location, given the show is meant to be set in Australia.
However, per Reality Tea, a production insider told the New York Times that fans should expect a HUGE shakeup on the Aussie rendition of the reality show. So, time will tell!
