NBC is the latest network to unveil its lineup for the upcoming TV season, and, like its counterparts, it comes with a few surprises. The newly announced schedule includes premiere dates for fan favorites like the One Chicago and Law & Order franchises, as well as comedies Happy’s Place and St. Denis Medical. Even second-year drama, Brilliant Minds, is set to return this fall. However, one notable absence is The Hunting Party, NBC’s other sophomore series. The procedural crime drama premiered in January 2025 and, despite a slow start that had many predicting cancellation, it managed to secure a second season renewal. While the original plan was to launch Season 2 alongside the network’s returning fall lineup, that’s no longer the case.

The Hunting Party Season 1 aired Mondays at 10 p.m., following Law & Order and Law & Order: Svu. After its Season 2 renewal, NBC initially planned for the show to return to that same timeslot.

Fathom Entertainment announced the company will distribute to theatres nationwide director Luke Sparke’s latest film, Primitive War. Receiving one million trailer views within the first 24 hours of its debut, the highly anticipated dinosaur Vietnam War film was screened at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25.

Featuring Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler (“The Boys”) and Jeremy Piven (“Entourage”), the film will come to theatres nationwide beginning August 21.

As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds but also to end their lives .

Upcoming Vietnam War-meets-Jurassic Park thriller Primitive War just celebrated its approaching release at San Diego Comic-Con, where it unveiled the latest trailer. Based on the eponymous 2017 novel by Ethan Pettus, the Australian-produced movie follows a Vulture Squad who are dispatched to the jungle after an elite platoon of Green Berets goes missing. The movie is directed, produced, and co-written by Luke Sparke, who makes the most of the unexpected twist on a war story.

The twist, of course, is that prehistoric creatures inhabit the jungle, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex and velociraptors. Now, the fearless search and rescue squad must survive dinosaurs in addition to the war itself. Primitive War stars Nick Wechsler, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Kwanten, Lincoln Lewis, Jake Ryan, and Tricia Helfer (a fan-favorite from Battlestar Galactica) — many of whom attended Sdcc 2025 to promote the exciting new release.

If you thought the Jurassic World franchise was the only way to get your dinosaur fill on the big screen, well, that’s kind of been true for the most part over the years. But there are exceptions like the Adam Driver-starring 65 back in 2023, as well as the upcoming Primitive War.

Bex and her team will be back chasing escapees from The Pit in the 2025-26 TV season. NBC has renewed The Hunting Party for a second season. The show's first season of 10 episodes finished airing a month ago.

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 is 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...

Law & Order laid the foundation for the interconnected procedural dramas that dominate networks today. It's hard to imagine a TV landscape without the franchise, and yet, it has been subjected to the same trials and tribulations as its peers. Svu has been forced to write two detectives off before its next season, Joe Velasco (Octavio Pisano) and Kate Silva (Juliana Martinez), and now, the franchise will have a new show following it on Thursday nights.

Law & Order used to hold down prime time on Thursday night by itself, between Law & Order, Law & Order: Svu and Law & Order: Organized Crime. The third of these shows was moved over to Peacock, however, meaning there's a huge vacancy where the Christopher Meloni-led series once was. And the network is going to try to fill it with a new series (again).

If you're struggling to think of what show...

Following NBC's shocking cancellation of Suits LA last week after just one season, the network has decided the fate of two of its more popular new shows. Both The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds will return for Season 2 in the fall, so fans of the crime drama and the medical procedural have nothing to worry about – at least for now.

Variety reported on the renewals this morning as NBC announced its fall 2025 schedule during its upfront presentation in New York. Debuting back in January, The Hunting Party's premiere episode garnered 3.67 million viewers, with the 10-episode first season averaging an overall total of 4.26 million. Meanwhile, Brilliant Minds hit the airwaves in September 2024 to 3.92 million viewers, with its 13-episode first season averaging a total of 4.3 million. By contrast, Suits LA's first episode was watched by just 2.61 million viewers, with its low point being episode 10, "Slugfest," which was seen by only 0.97 million people.

The NBC series “The Hunting Party“ kicks off with an immediately intriguing hook in its first episode, setting the world’s most terrifying killers free when a top secret, high tech prison is hit with a massive explosion. Post-prison break, each episode chronicles the hunt for a different killer, with the debut season of the series wrapping up on NBC just a few weeks ago.

Variety reports today that “The Hunting Party” will return for Season 2.

In the series, which also streams next day on Peacock, “a small team of investigators are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist.”

Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia star.

JJ Bailey created the series and showruns alongside Jake Coburn.

NBC’s newest crime drama The Hunting Party left a lot of room for more action ahead, but will it get the chance to resolve its biggest finale cliffhangers? The series centers on a team of elite investigators — with backgrounds in FBI, military, and espionage — who are tasked with tracking down a group of serial killers who escaped a secret underground prison after an explosion. After its inaugural season ended with one of its main characters in mortal peril, fans are probably desperate to find out the fate of the show, so here’s what we know so far. Has The Hunting Party been renewed for Season 2? Yes! NBC announced on May 12 that The Hunting Party is being renewed for Season 2. What will happen in The Hunting Party Season 2? Fans can expect the series to resolve the biggest question mark of the Season 1 finale: whether Oliver (Nick Wechsler) actually died...

The Hunting Party concluded its final season at the end of April, and NBC has finally decided on the future of the series. The network has ruled that The Hunting Party, which is streaming on Peacock, has been renewed and will receive a second season. The Hunting Party premiered alongside other shows such as original dramas Suits: LA and Grosse Pointe Garden Society, and it was the strongest performer of the bunch, which was enough to earn it another season. The Hunting Party debuted with a shocking 0% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and it finished its first season with an 18% but an 81% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. After receiving only 10 episodes in Season 1, The Hunting Party Season 2 will move to an 18-22-episode season, and it's expected to be released later this year or early 2026.

Melissa Roxburgh stars in the lead role of Rebecca Henderson in The Hunting Party.

NBC has picked up freshman drama series The Hunting Party, starring Melissa Roxburgh, and Brilliant Minds, headlined by Zachary Quinto, for a second season. Both are part of the network’s September-October fall schedule unveiled today. Brilliant Minds, from Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Prods, is staying in the post-The Voice Monday 10 Pm slot while The Hunting Party, from Universal Television, is moving to Thursdays 10 Pm.

Besides the five Dick Wolf series, The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds are the only other current NBC series to make it to next season amid a bloodbath at the broadcast network which canceled a slew of scripted series in anticipation of NBA’s arrival on the schedule next fall.

This is a changing of the guard in NBC’s scripted lineup as all four non-Wolf returning scripted series are from this season’s freshman class, The Hunting Party, Brilliant Minds and comedies St.

Jake Coburn, co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer on NBC’s The Hunting Party, has signed an overall deal with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Coburn will write, develop, and produce projects across all platforms and continue his Season 1 duties on The Hunting Party, which was renewed for a second season.

The JJ Bailey-created series is a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist.

The Hunting Party stars Melissa Roxburgh as FBI Special Agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, Nick Wechsler as Oliver Odell, Patrick Sabongui as Ryan Hassani, Josh McKenzie as Shane Florence, and Sara Garcia as Jennifer Morales.

In addition to his credits on the NBC freshman series,...

It’s that time of year when we know that more cancellations and renewals are likely to come. There are still far too many shows on the bubble, and it’s hard to call which way the networks will go with some of the shows. That’s certainly the case with the NBC shows.

While I would love to see everything make it through because I think the hard work of the cast and crew deserves to be recognized, there are certain shows that I want to see more than others. I’m invested in the storylines and the writing, or the shows have already ended on cliffhangers that I need answers to. Here are the six NBC shows I need to see make it through to the 2025–2026 TV season.

J.J. Bailey’s The Hunting Party, whose 10th and final episode drops April 7 on NBC, follows the aftermath of an explosion at The Pit, a top-secret black site prison where the worst serial killers in the United States have been stashed and experimented on for unknown amounts of time.

The explosion sets dozens of killers free, changed in surprising ways by their incarceration but just as deadly. Criminal profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh) is asked to lead a team to round up the killers, including her former partner Oliver Odell (Nick Wechsler), CIA agent Ryan Hassani (Patrick Sabongui), and Pit prison guard Shane Florence (Josh McKenzie), before all hell literally breaks loose.

She’s talking to Oliver (Nick Wechsler) as he’s dying in her arms. The team tracks down Jenna Wells (Eliza Coupe) in the finale, and the killer, before they eventually take her down, finds her way into the command center and uses her special brand of poison on Oliver. But there has to be hope … right? It’s not looking good, and that’s when Bex admits, “I think about you and Sam.” Other big moments from the finale: Mallory (Zabryna Guevara) shuts down the team when things go sideways hunting down Jenna, and Shane’s (Josh McKenzie) mom is revealed to be a former inmate, now Colonel Lazarus (Kari Matchett).

As we race to the end of the 2024-25 TV season, there are still a few network shows not yet renewed, so which ones are we worried about ending?

As May approaches, we're getting closer to the big time for the TV season when the networks make their final decisions on what shows are coming back or not. It's a different year without as many pilots as usual, and several shows are already getting straight-to-series orders. There have also been a bevy of renewals for NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox.

Deadline has updates on several shows with indications some series like Night Court, Lopez vs Lopez, Animal Control, and Suits: LA will be coming back for new seasons. Yet there are a few network shows facing the axe, so here's a quick rundown of the top ones we're most worried about!

We have been waiting a long, long time to see Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) get married. They have had a very bumpy road to the altar, but they have persevered, and we couldn't be happier for them. Unfortunately, a lot of the friends they've made along the way have left Chicago Pd.

Chicago Fire and Chicago Med have proven that weddings are as good a reason as any to bring back beloved characters. We saw Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) return in order to serve as the best man for his buddy, Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), on Fire, and we're hoping Chicago Pd uses their big union to do something similar. These are the characters we have on our fantasy guest list.

Since this is the finale, perhaps Jenna Wells, aka Inmate 0, was connected to those Silo 12 experiments.

The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 9 also left cliffhangers about what Oliver’s contact knew and Shane’s biological mother.

It will be action-packed as they divulge as much as possible in hopes of a second season renewal.

The new live-action, dinosaur monster movie “Primitive War”, is directed by Luke Sparke, starring Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler and Jeremy Piven, currently in post-production:

“…Vietnam 1968. A recon unit known as ‘Vulture Squad’ is sent to an isolated jungle valley…

“…to uncover the fate of a missing ‘Green Beret’ platoon.

“They soon discover they are not alone…”

Click the images to enlarge…...

"There is something going on in that valley..." Sparke Films & Rialto Distribution have revealed a first look teaser trailer for an intense action thriller titled Primitive War, which is both a Vietnam War movie and a dinosaur movie all-in-one. Rock on!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if someone decided to make a Vietnam War movie that had dinosaurs in it? If you have, today is your lucky day. Even if you haven't, today is also your lucky day because this concept is being introduced to you in the form of the first teaser trailer for "Primitive War." This is a very real movie that is coming out this year that is based on a very real book. Check it out for yourself above and marvel at what's coming.

There's a lot to discuss here. There are lots of dinosaur movies that aren't "Jurassic Park." Everything from "The Land Before Time" to "The VelociPastor." But in the realm of blockbuster entertainment, the "Jurassic" franchise has had a stranglehold on the genre for decades. While "Primitive War" is probably closer to a mockbuster, it does look pretty darn good,...

Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Nick Wechsler (The Boys), Anthony Ingruber (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Aaron Glenane (Danger Close), Carlos Sanson Jr (Legacies), Ana Thu Nguyen (Mortal Kombat 2), Adolphus Waylee (Nautilus), Richard Brancatisano (The Messenger), Marcus Johnson (Talk to Me), and Jake Ryan star in writer/director Luke Sparke’s upcoming sci-fi horror film Primitive War – and while we don’t have a release date for this one yet, a trailer has just dropped online! You can check it out in the embed above.

An adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ sci-fi military book, Primitive War is set during the Vietnam War and features American soldiers facing off with dinosaurs! The story follows an elite recon unit known as the Vulture Squad. In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War they are sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate...

The first trailer for Primitive War is here, and it’s a wild mix of military action and dinosaur horror. The movie stars Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) and Jeremy Piven (Entourage) as U.S. soldiers in the Vietnam War who discover something terrifying in the jungle—dinosaurs.

Directed by Australian filmmaker Luke Sparke, Primitive War is based on Ethan Pettus’ book series. The story follows an elite military team called Vulture Squad, sent into a remote jungle in 1968 to find a missing platoon of Green Berets. But instead of just enemy soldiers, they face prehistoric monsters.

“Three days ago, I lost my Green Berets. There was something going on in that battle,” Piven’s character says in the tense trailer. As the squad fights to survive, they realize they must become as savage as the creatures hunting them.

Sparke, who also co-wrote and produced the film, was excited by the crazy concept.

They call it “high concept.” In the upcoming Primitive War, soldiers in Vietnam do battle with prehistoric dinosaurs, and the teaser trailer for the action/horror/sci-fi movie has arrived.

Debuted by THR this morning, watch the teaser trailer for Primitive War below! “This ain’t no walk in the park,” the trailer promises, taking a shot at Jurassic Park in the process.

On that note, it’s awesome to see filmmakers outside the Jurassic franchise playing with dinosaurs, as that’s something we haven’t seen enough of over the years. The high concept approach to the material here reminds us a bit of the 2023 movie 65, which saw Adam Driver going up against dinosaurs. And it looks like Primitive War has enough of a budget behind it to make the dinosaur action look pretty damn good, which gives us hope for this one.

Expect Primitive War to stomp...

Ryan Kwanten, Jeremy Piven and fellow battle-hardened U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War discover dinosaurs among their deadly jungle enemies in the trailer for Primitive War.

Luke Sparke’s upcoming sci-fi horror pic is based on Ethan Pettus’ book where American soldiers in an elite unit in Vietnam discover their enemies are not all human. “Three days ago, I lost my Green berets. There was something going on in that battle,” Piven’s character says at one point in the trailer.

A logline from the film’s producers adds about the mystery: “Set in Vietnam in 1968, the Primitive War movie will follow a search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad sent to an isolated jungle valley to reveal the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley and the casualties mount, the Vulture Squad members must embrace their savage...

Melissa Roxburgh is back at NBC but not in a reboot of Manifest, the mystery show she starred in for five seasons. The actress is now leadingThe Hunting Party, "a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist," according to the official description. The shows are similar in that they're all driven by mystery, but some aspects set them apart. During a set visit at which Collider's Samantha Coley was in attendance, Roxburgh was asked what makes The Hunting Party different from Manifest. "Manifest was very sci-fi based, and so there was like an out-of-world, out-of-body experience on that one," the actress responded. She added:

"The difference here is that it's grounded in reality to a large degree.

Bex (Melissa Roxburgh) and Oliver (Nick Wechsler) have a history in The Hunting Party, not just as work partners but also as lovers. Even so, viewers shouldn’t expect romance or rekindled affection between the two, who will supposedly remain professional. Still, considering their history, showrunners JJ Bailey and Jake Coburn shed more light on the dynamic of their relationship; maintaining romance is not essential given the show's setup. During a set visit at which Collider's Samantha Coley was in attendance, Bailey said:

“There's a little more of like a mentor-mentee relationship from the past that we explore sort of crossed some lines that maybe got uncomfortable just before sort of their big blow up, but we sort of found that you know it wasn't a needed romantic relationship where we landed with that."

Before Bex split with the FBI, she worked on a case with Oliver, who, as...
