“The Hunting Party” has been canceled after two seasons at NBC.
The series, which aired its final episode on May 7, starred Melissa Roxburgh as former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, who led a small team of investigators that was “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,” per the official logline, which continues: “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.”
Along with Roxburgh, the cast included Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia. The series was created by JJ Bailey, who served as co-showrunner with Jake Coburn. Executive producers included Bailey, Coburn, director Thor Freudenthal and writer Michael Jones Morales. Universal Television was the studio.
News of the cancellation comes weeks after NBCUniversal’s annual presentation at upfronts. Along with “The Hunting Party,” NBC also canceled freshman comedy “Stumble” and second season drama “Brilliant Minds.” “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago Med,” “Chicago P.D.,” “Happy’s Place,” “St. Denis Medical” and “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” were all renewed. During the 2026-2027 season, NBC will debut two new dramas (a reboot of “The Rockford Files” and a series about a law enforcement family called “Line of Fire) — and two new comedies (detective show “Sunset P.I.” and a later-in-life love story called “Newlyweds”).
