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?
