Syfy has pulled the plug on drama Sanctuary after four seasons, while A&E has done the same with reality series Dog The Bounty Hunter after eight seasons. For Sanctuary, the writing has been on the wall as there had been no word on its future for five months, since the series’ fourth season finale in December. In the case of Dog The Bounty Hunter, the network and the producers had been negotiating a renewal, according to TMZ. Dog the Bounty Hunter starring Duane “Dog” Champan was a breakout hit for A&E and helped establish the network as a place for docu-reality series.
