A&E Network has formally announced a fourth season of Dog the Bounty Hunter, a reality series that follows Duane "Dog" Chapman and his posse across the country as they bring-in fugitives from the law. The new season will premiere later this spring.

After his September 2006 arrest for bounty hunting in Mexico, where it is illegal, Chapman said he was willing to apologize to the Mexican government to help settle the criminal complaint against him. U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, also urged the Bush administration to block the bounty hunter's extradition. In October, a Mexican court granted Chapman a stay in his criminal case as well as the extradition proceedings against him.
So Chapman is back to risk his neck as the master of capturing fugitives, having collared more than 6,000 to date. Accompanying Chapman will be Beth, his "new" wife and business partner, his sons Leland and Duane Lee, and Tim Chapman, who may not be a relative but is still considered a "blood brother" of Dog's.
Dog the Bounty Hunter is produced for A&E Network by Hybrid Films. Daniel Elias and David Houts are the executive producers. The series first premiered on A&E in August 2004.
