‘We All Love You, Beth’: Where the ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ Cast Is Now, 12 Years Later
This bounty-hunting family entertained for years
From 2004 to 2012, viewers tagged along on high-speed chases and thrilling pursuits on Dog the Bounty Hunter, which followed Duane “Dog” Chapman, a renowned bounty hunter, as he tracked down wanted fugitives alongside his wife and children. A certainly unique character at the helm of the series, Dog and his family kept viewers coming back for more season after season, and their unique family dynamics and profession pulled people in. Though it’s been several years since this show ran, Dog and some of his family members remain involved in the bounty hunting business, and the reality star had a few more TV series stints after his original concluded. Here, see what the cast of Dog the Bounty Hunter has been up to.
Where is Dog the Bounty Hunter now in 2025?
After his debut series concluded, Dog remained active in the public eye, television sphere, and bounty hunting world. After Dog the Bounty Hunter came Dog and Beth: On the Hunt, a series where they lent their expertise to other bounty hunters and bondsmen in various cities to help them improve their operations. Later came Dog’s Most Wanted, where he and Beth got up to their old bounty-hunting antics in the final days of her life as she battled cancer. Beth sadly lost her fight in 2019.
After her death, Dog met his current wife, Francie Frane, whom he married in 2021. The two widows bonded over their grief, with Francie having recently lost her husband to cancer as well. Francie has also joined Dog on his bounty hunting endeavors and in speaking with inmates.
Remembering Beth Chapman’s brave final days
After Dog the Bounty Hunter ended, Beth joined her husband on shows like Dog and Beth: On the Hunt and Dog’s Most Wanted, where she gave a candid look at her battle with cancer before her passing in 2019 at the age of 51. “It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven,” Dog wrote on X on the day of her passing. “We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side.”
