It's been weeks since the death of Beth Chapman, and WGN America will take fans inside her final months on Dog's Most Wanted, a brand new series.
The cabler has confirmed the series will hit the air Wednesday, September 4 at 9/8c, and will follow Duane "Dog" Chapman, his late wife, and a team of hunters called The Dirty Dozen.
The team will go on a cross-country manhunt to find a list of fugitives.
As teased in the new trailer, Beth's battle with cancer will be part of the narrative, and in one heartbreaking scene, she says that she wants to die in boots.
If you've kept up to speed with the other shows that Chapmans have been part of, you know that Beth was one of the most positive people around.

Beth lost her battle with throat cancer in June when it was revealed that she died at the age of 51.
“My wife is, was and always will be the heart and soul of Dog’s Most Wanted,” Dog said in a statement.
“Beth wanted nothing more than for the show to go on, and I am so proud of the legacy that she left behind. She lived and died for this show, and she would be so proud of how hard we worked bringing these criminals to justice.”
“WGN America is excited to share Dog’s and Beth’s latest and most exhilarating hunt with the world,” added Gavin Harvey, president of WGN America.
“The Chapmans are beloved by millions of fans for their relentless pursuit of justice and loyalty to each other and their family. Dog’s Most Wanted captures all of this in this riveting new series.”
Ahead of the premiere of the new series, WGN America will air a two-day marathon of the former series, Dog the Bounty Hunter.
