The Littlest Hobo was inspired by a film and a series featuring the canine character. The show that ran from 1979 to 1985 became one of Canada's most beloved television series. Now, it is set to receive a remake for Crave in Canada, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg leading the project, as per The Hollywood Reporter.  

“The Littlest Hobo was a foundational show of our childhood. We are thrilled to have the honor of bringing it back for a new generation alongside our partners at Crave,” Rogen and Goldberg said in a statement.

Their comment further read, “And though the hobo may be little, we promise big things to come. That doesn’t mean the dog will be huge like Clifford. The hobo will still be little. But the adventures will be Big.”

Both the original film and the television series followed the adventures of a brave and intelligent dog. The new adaptation is also expected to focus on an ownerless yet brilliant German Shepherd who travels from town to town, helping people in need.

Details about the cast and release date are not revealed yet. As for remakes, this Canadian classic is not the only show getting a second life. Rogen, who is also working on The Studio season 2, is also involved in the revival of an animated show, Darkwing Duck.
