“Dog The Bounty Hunter” Returns: “Dog The Bounty Hunter” A&E Return

The move comes several months after the hit series was pulled when reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman repeatedly used the racial slur “nigger” in a secretly record profanity-laced tirade that was later sold to The National Enquirer-by Chapman’s own son.

“There was one perfect person, and they called him Jesus Christ,” the professional bounty hunter said. “You have to … realize that everyone is human, and you can err.”
Filming has already begun on the fifth season, A&E execs report. Viewers can catch reruns of the show beginning June 25th. New episodes of Dog The Bounty Hunter including ones from the fourth season that have not previously aired, airing later this year.
