America's favorite bounty hunters, Dog and Beth Chapman, are returning to television with an all-new, currently untitled series premiering on CMT in April 2013. Throughout the 10-episode series, Dog, Beth and their son, Leland, will join forces with bail bondsmen from around the country in hunting down some of America's most dangerous criminals

Beginning today, CMT is enlisting the help of fans to determine the series' title. Fans may submit names for what they want the new, action-packed show to be called via the show's new Facebook page. The deadline for submitting names is Saturday, February 16. The official title will be revealed by Beth Chapman via @MrsdogC on Twitter on Tuesday, February 19.

Each week, the new CMT series will follow the Chapmans as they arrive in a different city to work with one local bounty hunter. The team will analyze their business, assess their arsenal and combat abilities, and implement strategic, tactical and hi-tech device training. Brandishing their no holds barred trademark candor, the Chapmans will also address new personal and professional conflicts through teamwork, adrenaline-filled arrests and a philosophy of hope and second chances, all while showing their contemporaries a few new tricks along the way.

The show was created by Duane and Beth Chapman through their Production Company, Entertainment By Bonnie and Clyde. The series is executive-produced by Electus (Ben Silverman, Chris Grant and Jimmy Fox) and CMT's Jayson Dinsmore, Joe Livecchi and Eliot Goldberg.
