A network official confirms to TMZ that the show is going back into production, but they've not yet set a premiere date. As of now, they're gearing up -- big time -- in Hawaii and production will begin ASAP. Makeup artists and camera crews have been hired, and houses and cars have been rented, all for the return of the show.
A&E had suspended production on "Dog the Bounty Hunter" indefinitely after a recording surfaced featuring Chapman making racial slurs. Chapman immediately began a tour of forgiveness, working with CORE and other groups to promote racial equality. We're told network execs were "very pleased" with Dog's attempt to make amends and his reaching out to members of the African American community.
A&E isn't just making this decision out of the goodness of their hearts either. The show was insanely popular for the network, here and internationally -- airing in over 20 countries.
Do you think the dog should be able to come back on tv and do his program..do you think that he has paid enough for what he said?

Yeah I think he should come back. Like you said he has paid dearly for his blunder and he has tried his best to make up for it and we are all human and make mistakes that we shouldn't have to pay for all our lives. Whoo, I feel like I said that out loud and I am out of breath!! lol I like his show, not love it, and I only watched it when there was nothing else of interest on. But I think that he has made amends.

I didn't watch the show much. But this is good news. You see, my sister worked on that show and some of her co-workers. They edited the show. So losing that show for a while the company had to let some people go. Hopefully A&E will take the show back. Cause the company my sister works for does some shows that air on A&E.

I say why not he showed he is sorry for what he did and i mean yes it was bad but to lose your career over it. That is a little extreme. I do hope he will be more careful though and realize we are all equal and not do this again. I love his show so I look forward to it airing again.
