Turner & Hooch to Bow (Wow) Next Month

DIsney+ has unleashed the trailer for its next original series, Turner & Hooch, which will premiere on July 21.

About an ambitious, buttoned-up US Marshal who inherits a big unruly dog, it stars Josh Peck as Scott Turner, son of Detective Scott Turner portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 1989 film of the same name.

Five French Mastiffs star as Scott’s slobbery new colleague, Hooch.

The series also stars:

• Carra Patterson as Jessica Baxter, Scott’s brave, street-smart partner
• Brandon Jay McLaren as Xavier Wilson, a cool, enigmatic marine-turned-US Marshal
• Anthony Ruivivar as Chief James Mendez, Scott’s boss with a secret soft spot for Scott’s new dog
• Lyndsy Fonseca as Laura Turner, Scott’s sweet, animal-loving sister
• Jeremy Maguire as Matthew Garland, Laura’s dog-loving son;
• Vanessa Lengies as Erica Mouniere, the quirky head of the US Marshals dog training programme.

Becca Tobin recurs as Brooke, Scott’s former flame, and Reginald VelJohnson reprises his role as Mayor David Sutton.

Turner & Hooch is  produced by 20th Television. Matt Nix is creator, executive producer and writer on the series. McG is an executive producer and directed the series premiere. Michael Horowitz, Robert Duncan McNeill and Mary Viola also serve as executive producers, and Josh Levy serves as co-executive producer.

A week after Turner & Hooch’s bow, Disney+ will premiere Turning the Tables with Robin Roberts, in which the Good Morning America and ABC News co-anchor sits down with “famous women who share experiences that are both personal and moving”.

Reads the blurb for the four-part series executive-produced by LeBron James through his media conglomerate, The SpringHill Company:

As the show’s title suggests, the guests often “turn the tables” and interview Roberts and each other in heartfelt and often humorous conversations that showcase authenticity and vulnerability. Guests include Debbie Allen, Sofia Carson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jenna Dewan, Sheila E., Melissa Etheridge, Mickey Guyton, Betsey Johnson, Billie Jean King, Tig Notaro, Raven-Symoné and Josie Totah.
