Pawn Stars Returns Without Mention of Harrison Family Tragedy
After a devastating loss, the Harrison family is picking up the pieces and returning to work on their hit show Pawn Stars. The reality series about a family-run pawn shop in Las Vegas will debut its 23rd season soon, just two months after the passing of Rick Harrison’s son Adam.
Adam’s Absence Addressed
While Adam Harrison worked at the pawn shop featured on the show, he did not appear on camera himself. However, many fans wondered if his recent death from a fentanyl overdose would be addressed when the show returns.
According to Rick Harrison, his late son Adam will not be mentioned in the new episodes. Though the family continues to grieve, the patriarch says they want to keep the focus on the pawn business and lighter family dynamics that draw viewers to the show.
Returning to Work as a Family
Despite their profound grief, the Harrisons have found solace in work and family. Rick, his father Richard, and his son Corey have immersed themselves in filming new episodes of Pawn Stars.
Though Adam’s absence is deeply felt, the family has always turned to each other in tough times. Returning to their trusted dynamic on the show appears therapeutic during this unimaginable loss.
Private Family Tragedy
While the Harrisons live much of their lives publicly on Pawn Stars, they are choosing to mourn privately when it comes to 39-year-old Adam’s shocking death. His passing was undoubtedly tragic, but Adam himself was not an on-camera personality featured on the show.
Grieving Adam’s loss as a family, the Harrisons hope to separate their tragedy from their professional lives on their hit History Channel series. As they heal, they aim to focus on entertaining loyal viewers who’ve loved the show for 15 seasons.
