(Disney+)
Looks like Disney+ isn’t going to the dogs. The streaming service has cancelled Turner & Hooch so we won’t be seeing a second season.
A comedy series, the Turner & Hooch TV show is a continuation of the 1989 movie of the same name. It stars Josh Peck, Carra Patterson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Vanessa Lengies, Brandon Jay McLaren, Jeremy Maguire, Anthony Ruivivar, Reginald VelJohnson, and Becca Tobin. In the show, ambitious and buttoned-up US Marshal Scott Turner (Peck) inherits a big, unruly, and slobbery French Mastiff named Hooch, much like his father (Tom Hanks in the movie) did. He soon realizes that the dog he didn’t want may actually be the partner that he needs. Scott’s family includes his sweet and animal-loving sister, Laura (Fonseca), and Matthew Garland (Maguire), Laura’s dog-loving son. At work, Scott’s brave and street-smart partner is Jessica Baxter (Patterson). Xavier Wilson (McLaren) is a cool and enigmatic marine-turned-US Marshal. Chief James Mendez (Ruivivar) is Scott’s boss who secretly has a soft spot for Hooch. Erica Mounir (Lengies) is the quirky head of the US Marshals’ dog training program.
The first season of 12 episodes debuted in July and finished being released in October. While the show seemed to be popular with Disney+ viewers, the Turner & Hooch series received mediocre reviews from most critics. Now, it appears that episode 12 was the end.
While Disney+ hasn’t announced the series has been cancelled, members of the cast don’t see it happening. McLaren responded to a viewer’s hope for season two and recurring actor Matt Hamilton retweeted it.

A veteran of the movie and the series, VelJohnson told ComicBook.com, “Well, as far as I know, they’re trying to sell it to another network or something like that. That’s what I heard. But as of now, it’s not going to be picked up, I don’t think. It was fun to do. And working with the actors was great fun and I hope so, whatever they decided to do I’m with it. It’s okay. I enjoy doing the sequel and, hopefully, we’ll have some time to do it again. But if not, I was glad for the experience.”
McLaren seems quite doubtful that the show will find a new home.

What do you think? Have you watched the Turner & Hooch TV series? Are you sorry that this Disney+ series seems to have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
Considering how many people watched and liked this show, asking for a second season, giving it high ratings on IMDB, this just show how Disney really no longer cares about what it’s viewers want to see.
It would be stupid to cancel the show. Matter of fact this show should be on basic channel so everybody can watch it. Instead of greedy people who want money.Not everybody can afford subscription channels and for disney to put it on disney + is just pathectic by disney.
This is one of my favorite D+ shows. I loved it and looked forward to new episodes every Wed. Seems the subscribers really liked it so get a spine disney and ignore the critics and pay attention to your customers.
It seems kind of sad that one of the main ways to get fresh is by extreme violence or dropping f bomb every 5 minutes. I love Loki and Hawkeye too but everything cannot be Marvel. Cut the other guys a break. Renew T&H today. Thanks in advance for listening. Fingers crossed.
Cerberus is disappointed. He was a big fan of Hooch
I really enjoyed this show. I was hoping for season 2 to show the romance of Scott & Erica, how new mom would handle motherhood & being a marshal, and of Xavier’ s new marriage. It had so many stories to tell. I feel cheated by not having a season 2.
It is amazing how Disney cannot see the value of this show. I loved the movie and love the series even more. Peck is so real as the lead and I am very hard to please. This is a good show!! If you can el it, you will be doing the nation a major disservice!! We need the comedy that is less gross and more family!! Please do not cancel!!
Turner & Hooch cancelled ??!!?!!!
So disappoined. Fun, quirky & clean show, much filmed in our local area.
Five grandkids especially so sad to hear.
OMG Disney+ why would you do this, this was a highly popular show with your PAYING viewers and we want it back but no you cancel it because of critics. If you keep this up you will loose your viewers and I hope you find comfort in your critics then
Do you want to better understanding well looking at the shows that all the networks have canceled recently y’all have one thing in common mainly. Yep you guessed it I can’t see it and I won’t say it. But obviously you can tell by the types of TV shows they are and who is in them. There is just madness going through our world today in the matter how much we like a program; it doesn’t matter because if it doesn’t fit the social standards of what the networks think is correct anything and everything will get canceled.

I am hurt that Disney+ cancelled Turner & Hooch, I loved this show it was so funny and has so much potential for a second season. It seems like Disney+ is playing favorites because they only gave WandaVision one season, Falcon and Winter soldier one season but they but Loki is getting a second season, Hawkeye just dropped and fans are wondering will that get a second season. But Turner & Hooch gets cancelled ending with some Unanswered questions like does Scott and Erica get together. Netflix should get the rights to continue Turner & Hooch.
My grandsons and I LOVED this series. I’m sick about this decision.
I was going to post the same exact thing!! My 8 year old grandson and I enjoyed watching this show together!! It was the one show he and I could agree on. We LOVED the show and I am extremely disappointed that it won’t be picked up for a 2nd season. Shame on you Disney+.
Turner and hooch on Disney was a great clean show. Wish a season 2 would happen. So many great shows end to soon!
Omg! I didn’t even know it was there! We loved that movie! There canceling it before I even found it! It needed more advertising!
Just a fun, clean, family oriented show. There needs to be more like it. The critics don’t always know what’s best
I would’ve liked to watch a second season.
Such a shame good child actor I wish best a lot of luck Josh Peck so good. Please reconsider in being something else soon. Movie with Tom hanks is a classic too funny compare this show.
