The Oak Island mystery is the subject of the History Channel's reality TV series The Curse of Oak Island, which debuted in January 2014 and has become of the most successful original shows on cable overall. The show follows brothers Marty and Rick Lagina as they attempt to uncover the island's secrets.
Randall Sullivan joined the show for its fourth season, which aired November 2016-February 2017. The book's subject is a fascinating real-life mystery, touching engineering, early Native American history, and some of the alternative historical theories which makes for a very compelling read.
