Below Deck Mediterranean airs on the Bravo cable network in the United States; the first episode premiered on Tuesday at 9/8pm ET/PT on May 3, 2016. A half-hour preview special of the series aired on March 23, 2016.[39] In 2021, the British Channel 4 acquired the series for its E4 'youth' TV channel, with the first episode due to begin on February 22, 2021, at 7:30pm.[40]
Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier, who had appeared in the first five seasons, was fired during Season 5 after Malia photographed a box of Valium and an empty THC pen in Ferrier's cabin. Hannah was immediately fired by Captain Sandy and removed from the boat. It later transpired the medication was prescribed to help her deal with anxiety. Ferrier criticized the show for the repeated references to her medication as "drugs" and for using her illness as a plotline, although the THC was not prescribed.[41]
After 3 episodes of Season 5 had been aired on Bravo, Deckhand Peter Hunziker was fired by the production company for his racist and misogynistic posts on social media. His appearances were minimized in later episodes.
