The Disney+ original series Turner & Hooch follows Scott Turner (Josh Peck), the son of the Detective Turner (Tom Hanks) from the 1989 film of the same name, an ambitious U.S. Marshal who’s trying to stand out and make a name for himself. When he finds himself unexpectedly partnered up with a big, slobbery dog named Hooch (who’s actually played by five French Mastiffs) and he and his sister (Lyndsy Fonseca) realize there may be more to the mystery of their dad’s last case than they knew, Scott must be patient with his new pet, if he’s ever going to find out what really happened.
During this virtual 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, co-stars Fonseca and Reginald VelJohnson, who returns playing the same character he did in the film, talked about forming a bridge between the original story and this new TV series, having such a slobbery co-star, the fun of getting to play a complex mother that has a lot to figure out, making a career out of playing cops, doing physical comedy, and how much they knew ahead of time.
