‘The Hunting Party’ Canceled by NBC After 2 Seasons, May Seek a New Home

However, there may still be a small glimmer of hope. According to the publication, Universal Television is expected to shop the series to other networks and streamers. While nothing is confirmed, the series could still find a new home.

The Hunting Party follows a secret government team that’s tasked with tracking down serial killers who escaped from a prison (The Pit) no one knew about — because the world thought those murderers were dead. But that’s just one part of this program.

Read on for everything we know so far about another season of the Melissa Roxburgh-led drama to find out if it will be back for a third season with even more chilling killers, stellar guest stars, and the answers fans have been craving.

Is The Hunting Party renewed for Season 3?

No. On June 2, it was announced that NBC opted to cancel The Hunting Party after two seasons.

However, even though NBC canceled the series, there’s still a chance it could continue elsewhere. According to Deadline, Universal Television, the studio behind The Hunting Party, is expected to pitch the show to other networks and streaming services. Netflix, which already streams the series in the U.S., could be a likely option.

What’s The Hunting Party about?

The NBC drama is described as “a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators led by former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh). They’ve been assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers the world has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from The Pit, a top-secret government prison that’s not supposed to exist. But as Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover that the one thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the prison itself that they just escaped from…because The Pit wasn’t just a prison.” Each episode sees the team tracking down one of those killers, some of whom have evolved as a result of their “treatments” inside The Pit.

Who’s in The Hunting Party cast?

The Hunting Party stars Melissa Roxburgh as Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, Patrick Sabongui as Jacob Hassani, Josh McKenzie as Shane Florence, and Sara Garcia as Jennifer Morales.

How did The Hunting Party Season 2 end?

Should the series continue, Bex is now in charge of the unit tracking down the serial killers who escaped from The Pit. There’s more, too. In the Season 2 finale, Philip Beaumont, who had been part of it, revealed that The Pit was also creating serial killers, meaning it’s a long list.
