(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?
So if it’s popular with Disney+ viewers but unpopular with critics, then it gets cancelled. Why are we listening to some (most likely) uptight 60 year old about a show that’s not designed for their demographic. Disney should listen to the people for once. Josh Peck did an amazing job and I for one would love to see a second season.
Hey!! I’m over sixty and absolutely loved the show! It’s critics of any age we don’t need to listen too! Always disappointed at what critics claim worthy to watch. Turner & hooch was a show we could watch as a family and we loved it!!
So disappointed that there will NOT be a season two. Finally a family show that feels good and had some intrigue.
Such a good, clean and funny show. Great for all ages

I watched all of the first season. My favorite subjects – a cop show and dogs. What’s not to like? Please renew. Who cares what the critics say if the public enjoys the show.
I am so excited to see more of this series why when you get something so good you have to get rid of it this is so crazy you get people hooked and yank the rug out hopefully you will pull your heads out of your bits and let these actors and actresses and four legged entertainers get on with doing what they love and making people feel good and laugh which is what the world needs now more than anything
