(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?
This was a great show and wonderful cast! One show that me and my grandkids like other Marvel series. Disney forgot what is good family fun without all the Marvel shows with tons of violence. Disney needs to give it at least one more season.
This was a great show.!!!! Disney have you realy forgotten what makes a great show if so watch turner and hooch its all there
YOUR STOOPID IF YOU DONT 3 OR 4 MORE SEASON OF THIS SHOW
ITS GOOD FOR THE KIDS ADULTS it’s a great show bring on season two
Unbelievable Disney + wouldn’t renew a show with wholesome characters that the whole family can watch With a DOG in it OMGoodness where are their brains??
Love that show ! Bring on another season
Critics should not come before your fans for we are what make shows a hit, while critics … not so much. Our opinions should matter!
Pls bring back turner and hooch
Um yes bring it back needs to be a season 2 and more
YES, BRING BACK TURNER & HOOCH!! Our entire family love the show, casting is excellent!! Hooch is adorable. There are so few decent comedies
Please bring this show back! Great entertainment for the whole family. Fantastic cast chemistry!
I enjoyed the first season and would like to see season two in the near future. The show feels like something the USA network would air!! Turner & Hooch reminds me a little of Royal Pains and White Collar, two great shows that aired on USA.
So sad to hear that this show has been canceled. It was such a great family show that was full of everything from drama to comedy to suspense to romance. And all of it moral and clean. I am sure Walt Disney would have wanted this one around for many seasons. I agree with those who say you should listen to your fans and not the critics. If this is what you do, when our time comes to renew our subscription, we won’t.
We love this show Please don’t cancel it! It is one show that we can watch with our grandson and not have to worry about language and other junk.
Great family show. Sad to see it not coming back! Might just have to cancel Disney
It was a great show! Sad to see it go
Very disappointed, was looking forward to next season
Me to. I loved watching it.
So Sad that they canceled the show my family and I loved watching it and were really hoping for another season.
