Tonight, CBS wraps up the first season of their new Hunted TV show. Viewers seem to have some very strong opinions about this series. Some would like to see it cancelled while others are ready for a second season.
The Hunted TV show on CBS follows nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt to evade capture in today’s digital world. Highly skilled investigators in the field and in a 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.
The series debuted on a Sunday evening in January, following a highly-rated NFL game. To no surprise, the first episode of Hunted scored big ratings, averaging a 4.06 in the 18-49 demographic with 11.85 million.
A few days later, in its usual Wednesday night timeslot, the ratings were not nearly as good. Episode two averaged a 1.33 in the demo with 5.48 million viewers. The numbers have dropped lower and lower as the weeks have progressed.
Though this series certainly isn’t a hit, the ratings could be worse. I suspect Hunted doesn’t cost much to produce so I’m inclined to think that CBS will renew it for a second season. However, I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if the network cancelled it instead.
But, what do you think? Would you watch a second season of the Hunted TV show or, is one season enough?
It was kinda good but once you figured out all the setups and restrictions. It is not nearly as impressive.
BEST SHOW I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
Yes i will watch season 2 of this show
Cancel.
Totally unbelievable. You’re telling me they couldn’t find the people with an entourage of a camera crew, etc following them around.
I would rather participate on the show but definately a fan !
Yes!!! Bring Hunted back for Season 2!!!!
These people are such knuckle heads! They clearly know they are going to be on the show and, while they don’t know when they are going to be “activated”, they certainly have some period of time to set up a safe house w/enough rations and supplies to last the requisite period of time. They just develop a safe escape route (never using the ATM as they will not need it since they have everything they need in the safe house), go there, stay there and wait the required time period and BAM, they win!!
Reese…have you READ the rules???
They have to move to a new location every 7 days.
Hunted….What a great show. ready for the next season .
my husband and I watched and thoroughly enjoyed this show. looking forward t season 2.
Almost believable.?
I thought it was a hit. But too many loopholes. Cat and mouse game, cat think it’s unbeatable. Why did banks report withdrawal from safety deposit boxes? FDIC rules? Privacy? How did banks know content?
I’m sure those weren’t real banks.
The show is complete BS. The hunters cheat with every move they make being illegal. Play fair and see how far they get. Don’t renew it. It’s just annoying.
I would definitely watch this again, my family and I love this show, so please don’t cancel it. In fact, we would love to be on it.
Enjoyed THE HUNTED… when will you have season 2?
