Of all the Tom Hanks classics out there, Turner & Hooch is, crazy as it might seem, the one best suited to becoming a Disney+ series. The concept is so incredibly simple, centering on a cop who must work with an unruly canine to solve a murder case. The comedy practically writes itself, and should work now even with new stars, both two-legged and four-legged.
Taking over the human lead is Josh Peck, who plays a U.S. Marshall who is actually the son of Hanks’ character from the first movie. Does that mean we’ll see a cameo from Hanks? Probably not.
Joining Peck in the cast are Carra Patterson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Vanessa Lengies, Brandon Jay McLaren, Becca Tobin, Jeremy Maguire, and Reginald VelJohnson who returns as former detective David Sutton who is now mayor.
Turner & Hooch was created by Matt Nix (Burn Notice) and hits Disney+ on July 21st.
When an ambitious, buttoned-up U.S. Marshal inherits a big unruly dog, he soon realizes the dog he didn’t want may be the partner he needs. “Turner & Hooch” stars Josh Peck as Scott Turner, son of Detective Scott Turner portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 1989 film of the same name.
