Lone Star Law reaches 100 episodes when the season premiere airs on Discovery Saturday, January 22. The show is about the Texas Game Wardens.

“There’s no such thing as an average day at work for the Texas Game Wardens. They face countless perils as they patrol more than 250,000 square miles of deserts, lakes, piney woods, bayous, plains and coasts,” said Discovery. “Whether confronting poachers, rescuing injured wildlife or saving victims of natural disasters, the game wardens work tirelessly to protect more than 29 million Texans. And with Texas ranked as the second-largest state by both land size and population, the game wardens’ job is only getting bigger.”

The season premiere has Game Wardens Mallory Mitchell and Jeremy Lindsey saving a wakeboarder with a potentially deadly injury, Derrick Lopez rescuing a wild animal trapped in a garage, and Jamal Allen stepping up when trespassers invade a sensitive marsh area.

The season sees Game Wardens Kyle Allison and Dustin Delgado rush to a plane crash, while Kegan Gould questions a suspicious rock collector and unearths a devastating secret, and Randolph McGee investigates a string of bison killings. 

Lone Star Law is produced for Discovery by Engel Entertainment, where Steven M. Engel and Ben Shank are executive producers. Lisa Lucas exec produces for Discovery. ■ 

Animal Planet will look to lock up the wildlife law enforcement genre with the debut of a new original series Lone Star Law and the renewal of two popular series.

Lone Star Law will premiere in early 2016 and will follow more than 500 Texas Parks and Wildlife wardens who attempt to apprehend those who commit crimes against nature.

The series will join two other series North Woods Law (pictured) and Rugged Justice within the genre.

North Woods Law, which follows nearly 100 game wardens in Maine who must safeguard people and animals within the wilderness, will return with 10 additional episodes later this year, while Rugged Justice – which chronicles the actions of the elite force of Washington State's Department of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Program – will return for a second season this Fall.

Rick Holzman, Animal Planet general manager and executive vice president says the wildlife law enforcement gene is core to the network’s strategy of bringing together both animal and human elements within a show.

“When we talk about the Animal Planet brand we talk about the fact that there is no human world and no animal world,” Holzman told Multichannel News. “There’s no one who is more acutely aware of that than the wardens who are the long arm of the law where the human world intersects with the animal world.”
