Seth Rogen is dusting off one of Canada’s most cherished television memories. The actor and producer is working with his partner Evan Goldberg to reimagine The Littlest Hobo, the iconic series about a wandering German Shepherd who helps people in need.
Discover how Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are bringing back The Littlest Hobo, a cherished Canadian TV classic.
The project marks a significant collaboration between Point Grey Pictures—Rogen and Goldberg’s production company—alongside Lionsgate Canada and Bell Media’s streaming service Crave.
The original show first aired in the 1960s before finding major success during a popular run on CTV from 1979 to 1985. The series centered on an intelligent stray dog who travels from town to town, solving problems and touching hearts before moving on to the next community. The show became a defining part of Canadian pop culture, beloved for its emotional storylines and unforgettable four-legged protagonist.
Details about what the new version will look like are being kept under wraps for now, though producers say they plan to update the format while keeping the central premise intact: a heroic dog helping strangers across different communities.
Bell Media revealed the project as part of its 2026/2027 programming lineup, positioning it as a major scripted offering. It’s also the first Canadian scripted series to emerge from the expanded partnership between Lionsgate and Point Grey.
Executives involved see The Littlest Hobo as one of Canada’s most valuable and enduring properties, confident it can appeal to multiple generations. Rogen and Goldberg have both said the series was part of their own childhood, adding to their enthusiasm for the reboot.
There’s no release date or casting news yet, but the project is actively in development.
