Dog and Beth grew into stardom with their hit A&E reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter, which aired from 2004 until 2012. After that it began airing in syndication the following year.
They returned briefly in 2017 for the special Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives, which followed Chapman’s battle with throat cancer.
More recently, Chapman was forced to undergo emergency surgery related to her cancer prognosis, with doctors confirming that it has in fact returned.
No word at this time on how much of Chapman’s new cancer fight will be depicted in Dog’s Most Wanted.
