"Dog the Bounty Hunter" is evidently set to return to production on A&E, according to TMZ.com.

Duane "Dog" Chapman was yanked off the network last November after a private phone conversation between he and his son Tucker was posted on websites like GaySocialites.com.

After the phone call surface, Chapman and his crew of bounty hunters were suspended indefinitely.

Chapman vowed never to utter the N-word again. Dog has met with several black leaders over the past several months asking for forgiveness.

A premiere date has not been set, but cars and houses have been rented, and camera crews and makeup artists have been hired, according to the report.
