LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — WGN America announced today that world-famous bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman and his elite team of professionals, The Dirty Dozen, are coming to the network in pursuit of Dog’s “bucket list” of most wanted fugitives in this thrilling new series. “Dog’s Most Wanted” marks the first unscripted series on WGN America in over five years.

In this new series, Dog and Beth will be supported by a ferocious team of hunters Dog calls “The Dirty Dozen.”  Together they will hunt down the Most Wanted Fugitives from the FBI, U.S. Marshals and States’ lists throughout the country, bringing these criminals to justice.

“America has been captivated by Dog, Beth and their dramatic true-crime experiences for over a decade,” said Gavin Harvey, president of WGN America. “In this brand-new series, millions of Dog and Beth fans will join them on bigger hunts, pursuing more dangerous criminals, with a supporting cast of tough-as-nails crime fighters.”

“Crime in America is skyrocketing! Criminals are finding it easier to avoid the system,” said Dog. “With more and more dangerous criminals running the streets, the time couldn’t be better for the World’s Greatest Network to bring back the World’s Greatest Bounty Hunter. Fugitives beware!”
