Last year, The Hunting Party was one of NBC’s lowest-rated scripted series to be renewed for another season. The network cancelled six scripted shows and likely decided to give this one a second chance, in hopes that the numbers would improve. If the ratings don’t get better, it seems likely The Hunting Party won’t get another chance. Will it be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

A procedural crime drama series, The Hunting Party TV show was created by JJ Bailey and stars Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia. In the story, a small team of investigators are assembled to track down and recapture the most dangerous killers in United States history. More dangerous than ever, they’ve all just escaped from The Pit, a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist. The team includes FBI Special Agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Roxburgh), CIA Agent Ryan Hassani (Sabongui), Army Intelligence officer Jenifer Morales (Garcia), and prison guard Shane Florence (McKenzie). Oliver Odell (Wechsler) is Bex’s former partner/mentor.
