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.

Los Angeles-based talent agency Mavrick Artists Agency and New York-based Eris Talent Agency have just signed on to represent the talented South African-born character actor Stelio Savante.

Savante recently appeared in the final season of Swat as Omar Morina on CBS and Paramount+. In Swat, he starred opposite Elizabeth Tabish, Patrick Sabongui, and Elizabeth Mitchell. The SAG Award-nominated, American movie award winner and polyglot multi-hyphenate also appeared in the Mark Freiburger-directed immigrant true-life drama film Between Borders as Duane.

Savante’s acting career began in the early 1990s on the theatre stages in New York and Alabama, and up till now, he has starred in over 140 films, TV shows, and video games with plenty more to come our way.

Alongside his career, Savante has also built up a nice resume as a producer. Some of his producing...

Freedom is a fleeting illusion, a brief gasp of air before the inevitable plunge. For Ava, released from a two-year prison sentence, the world she re-enters is not a clean slate but the same cage, just with wider bars. Her return to Ponoka, a town etched into the rugged Alberta landscape, feels less like a homecoming and more like a surrender to gravity.

Here, amidst the dust of the rodeo and the ghosts of past glories, the criminal life she sought to shed clings to her like a second skin. The film wastes no time in re-submerging her, where a violent rupture—the swift, brutal murder of her twin brother—catapults her from the purgatory of parole into the hell of being hunted.

Her existence is immediately compressed into a singular, desperate objective: survival. The presence of her father, Will, a former rodeo champion locked in a world of silence and stern judgment,...

Exclusive: Saban Films has acquired U.S. rights to In Cold Light, a crime thriller starring Maika Monroe (Longlegs), as well as Academy Award winners Troy Kotsur (Coda) and Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets), which is slated to world premiere in the Spotlight section of the Tribeca Festival on June 7.

Marking the first English-language feature from Canadian filmmaker Maxime Giroux, the film will be released in theaters nationwide later this year.

In Cold Light is set in a fractured city where loyalty is currency and violence speaks loudest, following Ava (Monroe), who’s newly released from prison and ready to reclaim her territory — until she witnesses a brutal crime that forces her to run. Hunted by enemies and haunted by her past, Ava is pulled into a desperate fight for survival.

Script is by Patrick Whistler. Yanick Létourneau produced for Peripheria, alongside Mike MacMillan of Lithium Studios (Mobile Homes). Executive produced by XYZ Films and primarily financed by Telefilm Canada and Sodec, with additional investment from Ipr.Vc, the film’s ensemble also includes Allan Hawco, Jesse Irving, Patrick Sabongui, and Noah Parker.

In a statement on the acquisition, Saban Films co-presidents Jonathan Saban and Shanan Becker said, “Maika Monroe is a star of the highest order. Her talents are on full display in this electrifying thriller. Surrounded by Academy Award winners Helen Hunt and Troy Kotsur, In Cold Light is a tour de force on every level.”

Commented producers Létourneau and MacMillan, “We’re excited to have Saban Films on board for the U.S. release. Their enthusiasm for In Cold Light and their commitment to giving it a proper theatrical life in the U.S. is exactly what we were looking for.”

Jonathan Saba repped Saban Films in the deal, with XYZ Films’ Nate Bolotin and Pip Ngo repping the filmmakers.

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...

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.

From Universal Television, “The Hunting Party...

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.

Two freshman dramas, The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, emerged unscathed from NBC’s Friday bloodbath and instead have been renewed for second seasons.

Season 1 of The Hunting Party averaged 4.2 million total viewers (with delayed playback). Out of the 11 dramas that NBC has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 8 (outdrawing the cancelled Found and Suits LA, and the theoretically on-the-“bubble” Grosse Pointe Garden Society).

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.

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.

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!

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...

The latest episode of The Hunting Party saw Bex (Melissa Roxburgh), Oliver (Nick Wechsler), and Hassani (Patrick Sabongui) investigate the silo that was breached before the blast at the Pit. There, they find the aftermath of a massacre (bodies were removed), with blood stains all over a board room of sorts — with a window into a room where the inmates appear to have been taken to be experimented on for others to witness.

As of right now, The Hunting Party has not been renewed for Season 2.

NBC has not yet made any decisions about The Hunting Party, although the reviews so far have not been the best.

There are some great NBC shows still on the bubble. That’s nothing too major to worry about just yet, as we’re only into March. NBC has a habit of waiting until closer to the May Upfronts to make some final decisions.

However, with so many shows on the bubble, we can look at the ones likely to be renewed and canceled. While NBC doesn’t only just rely on the linear ratings, this is usually a strong indication as to whether a show will get another chance.

Something I do want to point out is that Friday and Sunday linear ratings tend to be lower than other nights, and that is something that needs to be considered when look at the ratings to determine which NBC shows could be canceled.

Additionally, Bex convinces Hassani that it’s better to work with Oliver as the three of them search for information about Silo 12 after Oliver confides in her.

Finally, after the cliffhanger at the end of The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 6, we expect the series to address Shane’s family drama again.

Hopefully, we’ll learn how he’s connected to Dr. Dulles and whether Sarah is actually related to the doctor.

If you think you love Found‘s Lacey and Zeke as individual characters, it may pale in comparison to how fond you may be of their portrayals.

They’re incredibly talented, passionate artists who have nothing but the utmost respect for their characters, craft, the series, and one another, and it’s a pleasure to see and hear this respect in action.

TV Fanatic had the privilege of catching up with Walsh and Escarpeta to discuss the evolution of their characters during Found Season 2, the shift in the dynamic between Lacey and Zeke, and so much more.

(Mark Hill/NBC)

If you’ve been tuning into this incredible series, you’d know that Found Season 2 is, as I described it to the pair, “all gas with no brakes.”

The season has been absolute madness, as they’ve pulled out all the stops and gone in so many directions we couldn’t have anticipated.

If you’ve closely followed our coverage, you’ll know we’re crazy about Doc.

And we’re not alone. The breakout hit medical drama is dominating network television and becoming one of the most successful new series of the year.

The series is coming to a close of its first season, but fortunately, Doc has cemented a pleasantly surprising 22-episode season two renewal, and we can find comfort in knowing that we’ll spend more time with all of these great characters.

One of the characters we’re most excited to learn more about is Tj Coleman, played by the affable and charming Patrick Walker.

During Doc Season 1 Episode 9, we finally learned about Tj and Amy’s history, how they met, and how she inspired him to become a doctor.

The Wheel of Time Season 3 Premiere Packs a Magical Albeit Directionless Punch Towards a More Layered...

Since joining The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2007, Tamra Judge has been one of Bravo’s most polarizing faces.

She’s brought so much to the show, but people seem to think she’s the most toxic reality TV star.

Sure, Tamra has brought a lot of off-screen drama to help the show maintain its status as one of the most popular entries in the venerable Real Housewives franchise.

(Bravo/Screenshot)

In the past, Tamra hasn’t cared about being dragged over the coals because if it makes for good TV, she’s on board.

Tamra had a rough go of it during The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 as she kicked off the season by teaming up with Alexis Bellino to take down Shannon Beador.

(Sami Drasin/Bravo)

These shows swing in roundabouts, and it’s Tamra’s turn for the hot seat when Season 19 debuts because...

There’s so much great TV out there, and most isn’t derived from legacy franchises.

Prime Video didn’t seem to get the memo because it continues to bring these excellent properties back to screens without the thrill of their predecessor.

The latest effort, Cruel Intentions, based on the hit movie of the same name, premiered in November 2024 and was pretty much ignored.

(Prime Video/Screenshot)

The 2024 version of Cruel Intentions was a below-average teen drama at best, playing out more like Max’s canceled Gossip Girl reboot, which had some redeeming qualities at the very least.

The 1999 Cruel Intentions had a compelling plot and a cast that included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillipe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair.

(Courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios)

As the lame follow-up movies can attest, you can’t reinvent the wheel without the cast that made it such a success in the first place.

While most episodes of The Hunting Party focused on violent serial killers before and after their release from the Pit, “Arlo Brandt” differed from the previous ones.

Played by David Ramsey (Arrow), Arlo Brandt used to hoard possessions and bodies but escaped from the Pit with a renewed purpose.

As seen on The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 6, he’s become almost like a religious cult leader, hoping to force everyone to eliminate their possessions and become like him. It’s eerie, and it’s up to the trio to discern what’s behind his deranged mind.

(David Astorga/NBC)

Additionally, Bex gets impatient and condronts Oliver about information about Silo 12. This could affect their relationship moving forward.

Finally, Shane’s family mystery begins as he tries to learn more about what his dad knew, and someone else stops by the senior center.

NBC’s The Hunting Party has the potential to become the next popular procedural since it examines the psyches of serial killers and includes the overall mystery of why they escaped the secret prison called the Pit.

It’s fascinated viewers weekly with different serial killer arcs, how the team will catch them, and what secrets each member harbors.

TV Fanatic chatted with Patrick Sabongui about what attracted him to the series, why Jacob Hassani despises Oliver Odell, working together toward a common goal, and the fantastic dynamics between Hassani, Bex, and Shane.

He also teased what’s to come, beginning with reuniting with David Ramsey for The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 6. He shared some spoilers about what’s coming and how long the series could last.

Hi Patrick. What intrigued you about The Hunting Party?

I thought it was an original concept.

The past three seasons of Power Book III: Raising Kanan have been tough for Raq, and it doesn’t look like things will be changing in season four.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 Episode 1 looked back at the events of season three through a different lens, and it was a difficult time for Raq, who had some secrets she was carrying.

The tension and estrangement between Raq and Kanan was still pronounced and showed no signs of thawing, and that relationship will once again be at the forefront of the Power spinoff.

Tonight’s installment of When Calls the Heart exceeded my expectations and was on par with the early episodes of Season 12.

Among other things, McGinty showed his true colors by suing Lucas and threatening Allie with a trespassing fine, and one of the highlights was seeing the men of Hope Valley band together.

Georgie McGill (Melissa Gilbert) also returned for more answers about the gold. She and Rosemary started off on the wrong foot but grew to respect one another.

The Hunting Party’s Patrick Sabongui Teases the Pit Mystery, Team Dynamics & Reuniting with David...

In the upcoming episode of “The Hunting Party,” titled “Mark Marsden,” the tension reaches new heights as Bex and her dedicated team face one of their most chilling cases yet. This episode, airing on Monday, March 17, 2025, at 9:00 Pm on NBC, dives deep into the dark world of Mark Marsden, a man with a charming exterior but a deadly past. Known as the Widower, Marsden has a history of murdering his wives, leaving a trail of heartbreak and horror behind him.

As the clock ticks, Bex and her team must race against time to apprehend Marsden before he can strike again. With each twist and turn, the stakes get higher, especially when Marsden decides to take a new bride. This new development adds urgency to the investigation, pushing Bex and her team to their limits. The episode promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, filled with suspense and unexpected revelations.

The Hunting Party has used some talented guest stars as their serial killers.

We’ve landed a massive one for The Hunting Party Season 1 Episode 6. The spoilers indicate that David Ramsey will portray Arlo Brandt, a hoarder turned serial killer.

This will be exciting since it will reunite Arrowverse actors David Ramsey and Patrick Sabongui, who worked on The Flash as John Diggle and Captain Singh, respectively.

(David Astorga/NBC)

John Diggle was mainly a hero, so seeing Ramsey portray a serial killer will be intriguing. We hope more of his fans will tune in for this one.

Additionally, since Hassani and Bex learned about Silo 12’s existence, they will likely poke Oliver for more information.
