The hunt is on, and it’s personal. NBC has dropped the first teaser for its highly anticipated crime procedural, The Hunting Party, and it’s nothing short of gripping. With the series set to premiere on February 3, 2025, the teaser offers a tantalizing glimpse into the high-stakes world of elite investigators chasing down some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, when an off-the-books max-security prison sees a massive breach.
Set to a haunting rendition of Blondie’s “One Way or Another,” the teaser wastes no time in setting the tone of a high-concept drama. Viewers are introduced to “The Pit,” a classified, hexagonal prison buried underground, designed to house the most violent and notorious criminals in existence. But when an explosion tears through the facility, releasing a torrent of convicts, the pressure is on for ex-FBI agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, played by Manifest alum Melissa Roxburgh, to lead the charge in capturing them and uncover the mysterious origins of the explosion.
The teaser interweaves action-packed scenes with a growing sense of urgency. Explosions ripple through the shadowy corridors of the prison, car chases unfold under dimly lit skies, and fleeting moments hint at the team’s grueling task ahead. From desperate fights to ominous mysteries surrounding the jailbreak, the 30-second clip promises a riveting cat-and-mouse chase.
With Roxburgh at the helm, the recurring cast also features Patrick Sabongui (Homeland, The Flash) as Ryan Hassani, a determined CIA agent; Sara Garcia (Ride, The Flash) as Army Intelligence officer Jennifer Morales; Josh McKenzie (La Brea) as Shane Florence; and Nick Wechsler (Revenge, Chicago PD) as Oliver Odell, rounding out the elite investigative team. Together, they’ll delve into the secrets behind the blast while navigating a treacherous web of danger and deceit.
Behind the scenes, creators JJ Bailey and Jake Coburn, known for their sharp storytelling, serve as writers, co-showrunners and executive producers for The Hunting Party. Directed by Thor Freudenthal (Percy Jackson & the Olympians), the series is a collaboration between Universal Television and NBC, bringing a dynamic creative team to this high-concept drama.
The teaser ends with a stark warning: the world’s most dangerous criminals are on the loose. As the haunting melody fades, viewers are left with just one question—will this team be able to catch them before it’s too late?
Mark your calendars for February 3, 2025, when The Hunting Party premieres on NBC at 10/9c, following the return of The Voice new season. The countdown has begun, and the chase promises to be nothing short of electrifying.
