Pit Bulls & Parolees is returning for an18th season, but after 17 seasons on Animal Planet, the reality series is moving to Discovery Channel. The show about the largest Pit Bull rescue in the country will also air on Discovery+.
Discovery Channel revealed more about the renewal and the move of Pit Bulls & Parolees in a press release.
“Tia Torres is the heart of Villalobos Rescue Center, the largest Pit Bull rescue center in the U.S. For over 30 years, she and her family have gone above and beyond to give a second chance at life to pit bulls – dogs who have continually been demonized due to the reputation of their breed- and parolees. Now, in an all-new season of PIT BULLS & PAROLEES, new audiences and dedicated fans will be able to witness even more incredible stories of redemption and rescue with Tia and her Villalobos family in their never-ending battle to save man and man’s best friend. The new season of PIT BULLS & PAROLEES streams on discovery+ the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service, and premieres on Discovery Channel Saturday, Apr. 3 at 8PM ET/ PT.
In the season’s premiere, the Villalobos Rescue Center crew is on a mission to catch a runaway dog, while daughter Mariah gets a creative idea for the parolees to design fundraising apparel. We’ll also see a family come all the way from sunny California in search of a new furry family member to share in their adventurous lifestyle.
Later this season, audiences will also meet other loving adoptees who travel from far and wide to give these dogs forever homes. We’ll see Tia as she visits a Mississippi shelter to give a hybrid wolf dog a second chance at life; daughter-in-law Lizzy as she leans on Tia for support in trying to find a work-life balance as a new mother of two; veteran tenant Lil Rocky as he faces a cancer scare and gets support from the Villalobos crew; and a pair of hearing-impaired dogs, Ben and Spike, who get the care they deserve. Audiences will also witness Tia as she gears up to revamp the Claiborne Warehouse when a hurricane heads straight for New Orleans.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Pit Bulls & Parolees TV series? Will you watch the new season on Discovery Channel?
I sure miss Pit Bulls and Parolees. Please bring it back!
Love this show!! Can’t wait for the new season!!!
I’m waiting for a new season of my favorite show Pit-bulls & Parolees. I hope it’s on Discovery channel, not just in Discovery +.
Still waiting on new season! I understand Covid happened, surely you can safely began n filming by now !!! Also, pay Amanda at Panda Paws and get her to film again!! She should have been paid anyway!
My favorite show and have watched every show since the beginning. Not happy moving to Discovery. Already paying more for animal planet so can watch this show. Will not pay more for Discovery. I also heard no contract signed yet for future shows which would be really sad. Such a good show and wonderful rescue for dogs and parolees
this show is without a doubt my favorite show, I have watched every single show, most at least twice and cannot wait every week for the new one, i feel like these people are family and have learned so much about dog behavior and how to handle them. i hate that it has moved to discover as my cable provider does not have it yet.
Very upset that Pit Bulls and Parolees is moving to the Discovery Channel, which is an extra charge! This is ridiculous! We pay enough for cable TV already, now if we want to watch our favorite show, we have to pay more!!! We can’t afford this!!
I am sad we will not be able to watch Pitbulls and Parolees anymore. I will NOT pay to stream it. Senior citizens don’t have money to pay for all of these streaming networks.
I think the kindness of all of the people on the show are the very few that are still out there. I love this show. GLAD I GOT TO COMMENT ON IT.
Please bring back Pit Bulls and Parolees… I added Animal Planet to my cable to watch this show a couple of years ago after viewing an episode while visiting the US. It’s the best show you have in your line up. I have no interest in most others. Don’t understand why it’s not yet continued. I think I may have discovery channel but only 5 shows??? This is a really good reality show about animals and family. Hence, on Animal Planet makes sense. Please reconsider, I recently renewed my cable package for two years … what a waste otherwise.
I love this show, & I’m not happy that it won’t be on animal planet. I really don’t want to pay for discovery. Not sure what I will do now.
Pit Bulls and Parolees is the only show that I couldn’t live without – I wait all week for Saturday night – not only do you see Pit Bulls but you learn how to handle and read the behaviours of all other breeds too – It is too good a program not to be kept as a special show – the only dog handling program if you don’t have special channels
I love this show! I have been watching it since it came on here!! Pittbulls were banned in this province quite a while ago, but I love this show and learning about the breed. I hope this show keeps going for many more years, it is my favorite show.
Very upset that Pittbulls &Parolees is moving from Animal Planet. Why? It’s about animals. I don’t watch any of the Zoo shows they are not interesting to me. I have been watching them since the beginning.
I am disappointed with Animal Planet. The they have River Monsters on so many times. Can’t watch that. It is ugly.
I hope Animal Planet wakes up and brings back the good shows people love to see.
When will Pittbull & Parolees start their new season on Discovery. I will not pay to watch Discovery+. No way.
Yes, please bring back Pitbulls and Paroles
