Did Discovery Channel Cancel Dino Hunters Season 3? 2024 Date
Dino Hunters Season 3
Was Dino Hunters cancelled or renewed for season 3? When does it start on Discovery? Now that season 2 is over, fans are wondering if the show will continue for another season or not. In this post, we have summarized everything we know so far about the next season.
What Is Dino Hunters About?
The dino hunting cowboys are back and ready to dig up more prehistoric treasure across the Wild West. In the badlands of Wyoming, Montana and the high deserts of New Mexico, the hunt is on not only for dinosaur fossils, but for buyers, as well. To prevent their way of life from becoming extinct, these ranchers must do more than find fossils — they must wrangle buyers who are willing to pay the right price for these extinct treasures. With their cherished way of life at stake, drastic times call for Jurassic measures.
In the all-new season of DINO HUNTERS, cowboys and ranchers continue scouring the West for the most rare and valuable prehistoric fossils and remains – from discovering a trove of Mammoth tusks to a field of Triceratops bones to prepping a nearly complete T-Rex skull – in order to entice buyers, make a profit, and ultimately, keep their way of life alive.
DINO HUNTERS premieres Friday, July 30 at 9pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. In addition to watching Dino Hunters on Discovery, viewers can join the conversation on social media by using #DinoHunters and following @Discovery on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
By using a combination of 3D modeling and CGI to create X-ray visualizations of both the fossils and the dinosaurs, DINO HUNTERS brings dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures back to life. Using this cutting-edge technology allows images to reveal what these dinosaurs looked like, how they moved, and other important characteristics of these prehistoric giants.
This season, DINO HUNTERS features both new and returning characters. Continuing on their quest to find fossils are Mike Harris, Jake Harris, and Aaron Bolan in Wyoming and Clayton Phillips and his son Luke in Montana. New to this season is Andre Lujan, a Texas native with a passion for fossil hunting, as he helps Robert and Billie Abercrombie, 4th generation ranchers who run a cattle operation in New Mexico. About a century ago Robert’s grandfather discovered that the family homestead held much more than viable grazing land – it had a massive site of Ice-Aged Columbian Mammoth bones. But Robert’s grandfather was never able to keep any of the remains, as they were excavated and transported to a museum out of state. Now, using the original map from the 1929 excavation, Robert has hired Andre to help locate the 100-year-old dig site and just maybe honor his grandfather’s legacy by uncovering an ancient behemoth.
DINO HUNTERS will give viewers an in-depth look how dinosaur fossils are uncovered, carefully excavated and restored – from a T-rex dinosaur in Wyoming to mammoth tusks in New Mexico to two massive Triceratops skulls in Montana that were trapped in a narrow slot canyon and had to be airlifted by helicopter to safety.
This season, the pressure is on as the dino hunters are in a race against time, weather and physical exhaustion as they endeavor to save exposed fossils from the elements before the winter snow blows in. Whether it is searching for a mass extinction site or unearthing potentially rare fossils, DINO HUNTERS is ready to take viewers on a journey through prehistoric times.
DINO HUNTERS is produced for Discovery by Half Yard Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company. For Half Yard Productions, Dirk Hoogstra, Nicole Sorrenti and John Jones are executive producers. For Discovery, Kyle Wheeler and Gretchen Morning are executive producers and Kerresha Musgrove is associate producer.

Show is great. I’m 76 and watch it with 2 of my grandkids (ages 4 &7), my wife & the kids parents. It appeals to viewers of all ages; bring back new seasonS!
Best show I watch.
Yes we all love those Dino's and the fabulous stories and the total history of how these creatures have endured into awesome movies today , be them real or imaginary.
Love the show, so figure that it’ll get cancelled? Any shows we like end up on the cutting room floor… 🤬
I love the show. I hope they find more complete dinos.
Bring Dino Hunters back , please. It was one of the best and most interesting shows on TV. Fits the Discovery lineup perfectly !
Pls bring the show back on!!
I want to watch more episodes of Dino Hunters
Love this show!! So interesting! Please please please bring it back!
you have avoided the question long enough. are you bringing dino hunters back or not . is it a question of money or some kind of other business. you know its a hit and you leave your customers in the dark , how shameful
My husband and I stumbled on this series.
We watched both seasons in one afternoon.I was born in Missoula, MT. This series is marvelous! Very interesting, detailed explanations and makes you feel like you’re on the dig!! The kind, hard working cast? The actual examples of the Montana spirit.
MORE seasons, please!!
I babysit a 3 yr old who is enthralled by Dinosaurs. I found this show for him but now I'm hooked! Where is Season 3? Please don't leave us hanging.
I love Dino Hunters. Bring it back!
My theory is that paleontologists and/or museum curators lobbied to have the show cancelled in an attempt to stop other "enthusiasts" from becoming commercial "dino hunters."
Just discovered this show and find it very enjoyable!
Yeah Idk what you were thinking about when they canceled Dino Hunters apparently they weren't thinking about ratings or what the folks who watch the channel for because some pencil pusher thought it was not profitable but season 1 and 2 reruns have newer commercials knocking the doors down. You need to at least run the season since you had it ready to roll anyway. I'll be canceling my subscription to D+ until it's aired
Bring it back please to many things in limbo. Its a very informative show and needs to air
I watch several Discovery Channel shows & Love Dino Hunters. Please bring back the show. I don't understand why you would cancel such an interesting & educational show that people of all ages can enjoy.
Very very disappointed dino hunters has been canceled! One of my favorite shows!!
PLEASE bring Dino Hunters back!!! It was so interesting and educational!!!!
We loved this show as well, bring it back, there is nothing good on TV these days
Please bring back Dino Hunter season 3
Im very disapointed to hear they cancelled Dino Hunters. what a great family friendly show. Does not get more interesting. Its hard to believe Discovery didnt see the potential in the show😠
I’m with Beth-We loved this show as well, bring it back, there is nothing good on TV these days. Instead there’s meaningless shows like Housewives of wherever. Would never watch it. I much prefer educational!
