Lucky Dog‘s Brandon McMillan will showcase the rescue, rehabilitation, and training of Australian shelter dogs in the spinoff, Lucky Dog: Down Under. The new series will be part of a Lucky Dog block, airing on Saturday mornings on CBS after Lucky Dog: Reunions.
Lucky Dog: Down Under will premiere on October 4, 2025.
“Lucky Dog: Down Under captures the heartwarming stories of Australian shelter dogs as they transition from rescue and rehabilitation to cherished members of loving families,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “Whether it’s a scrappy terrier, an energetic kelpie, or a partially deaf cattle dog, audiences will discover that second chances can transform lives on both ends of the leash.”
The original Lucky Dog series, based on The Dog House Australia, has helped find new homes for 200 dogs, according to Hearst Media Production Group (HMPG).
“The Lucky Dog franchise has informed and captivated audiences for more than a decade,” stated Bryan Curb, HMPG executive vice president and general manager, education/information. “Taking viewers Down Under will add an international spin with uplifting stories told by America’s favorite animal trainer, Brandon.”
The popular Saturday morning series has won three Daytime Emmy Awards, including two for McMillas as Outstanding Host in a Lifestyle/Travel/Children’s or Family Viewing Program. Debuting in 2013, the family-friendly series has also earned 55 Telly Awards, seven Parents’ Choice Awards, and five Cynopsis Kids Imagination Awards.
