What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Hunted follows nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt, as they attempt to evade capture in today’s digital world. Highly skilled investigators — both in the field as well as a well-equipped Command Center — combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them. A grand prize of $250,000 is awarded to each team of two that successfully evades being caught for up to 28 days.
Season One Ratings

Telly’s Take
Hunted had a very promising start in a post-football Sunday night timeslot but the numbers plunged once the series moved to Wednesday night. The numbers weren’t very good but I suspect the program is cheap to produce and the network could have used another season to temporarily fill a timeslot (ala Undercover Boss). CBS opted not to order a second season so, I guess the network execs didn’t agree.

What do you think? Have you checked out this TV show? Should CBS have cancelled or renewed Hunted for season two?
FWIW, while it looks like ratings were the issue (not sure why, the show was superb, maybe lack of marketing?), I wondered to myself if they weren’t getting pushback from actual law enforcement. Telling people out there exactly how people are tracked, the mistakes they made, etc. would seem to make doing it in real life harder–although I don’t know that they showed anything that would have surprised anyone who actually thought about it.
I think, just like IRL, it was usually people’s ‘mistakes’ that got them caught. That was part of what made the show so interesting.
Figures, FINALLY a network TV show I liked…so they cancelled it. The only reality show I’ve ever liked.
If people really do prefer the masked singer to this, Idiocracy is coming to life.
Bring it back!
This show was really spectacular in my opinion. Couldn’t wait for the next weeks episode! Maybe the real reason it didn’t have many views was a lack of advertising.
I’ve watched almost every series on Amazon Prime. The latest being Hunted Season 1, which I thought was superb. If CBS is too stupid to rollout a Season 2 for its network, it should allow Amazon to do so as it’s a no brainer! The plot could be rolled forward indefinitely, something any fan of Season 1 would thirst for!
My family loved the Hunted episodes. I wish CBS would create another season!
