Summary
Below Deck Mediterraneanhas always had a fascinating rotating cast, and someprevious crewmates would be phenomenal to see again onBelow Deck Medseason 10. WhileBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9is still airing, the upcoming season is about to start filming, creating buzz withBelow Deck Medfans worldwide. Although the current season of the series is still bringing drama, many are wondering who will be included in the next season, and if any cast members from the past will be returning.
Though manycrew members have worked onBelow Deck Mediterraneanvessels and returned for seasons to come,the rotating cast of yachties on theBelow Deckspin-off tends to be more sporadic than on other showsin the franchise. For viewers, getting to know new yachties can be tricky, as manyBelow Deckfans have their favorite crew members and hope to see them working aboard the superyachts season after season. Even so, when yachties make their way onto the series and strike viewers' fancy, it can be electric to see them return for another season of the series.
Despite knowing that there are some yachties viewers resonate with and some who don’t, there have always been problematic yachties welcomed back to the series year after year. WithCaptain Sandy Yawn having been at the helmof the ship sinceBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 2, she’s been able to work out who does well aboard her superyachts and who doesn’t. Though she’s said she’d give chances to any yachties she’s worked with in the past,Captain Sandy has a good instinct about her crewsand tends to be careful with who she brings back aboard her vessel.
ForBelow Deck Mediterraneanviewers,the most recent season has been an exciting return to formwith the Chief Stew position being held by Aesha Scott, who returned to the series after taking years away to cut her teeth and advance in her career. Seeing a yachtie who began onBelow Deck Mediterraneanmove away from the franchise and return years later, taking on a higher-ranking role, has been great for the series and a treat for the viewers.Aesha has been a light on the series, making a difference in the standard of work for the crew overall.
Though Aesha, Sandy, and former Stew Elena Dubaich are the only three returning yachties onBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 9,there have been several yachties who have come back to work for Captain Sandyin past seasons. In the future, some of the yachties who have been onBelow Deck Mediterraneanin the past should return to work for the Captain once again. While it’s not confirmed, here are some previous cast members who could return forBelow Deck Mediterraneanseason 10.
