Sad News?
On the 3rd of November 2012, it was reported that new people joined the writing team and now they are ready to continue working on the series and its second season.
However, on the 14th of November 2012, it became known that BBC One refused to promote the second season of Hunted. The ratings were poor and the viewership wasn’t promising the potential. People from Cinemax made up their minds to start working on the series without BBC commission.
Further announcements said that Frank Spotnitz decided to help Cinemax reboot the project. Spotnitz decided to change Hunted as much as possible – starting from the very title and finishing with the characters and the plot. It will be another type of format – one-hour miniseries.
Nevertheless, in the beginning of 2015 Frank Spotnitz said that all plans were cancelled by Cinemax. The creators of Hunted are waiting to be picked up by another company ready to promote and produce the future episodes of the series.
Release Date
Hunted has lost BBC’s commission due to the lame ratings and the project isn’t planned to be renewed, so the release date of the second season is unknown and the renewal of the series itself is very unlikely.
