Is a new episode of The Hunting Party on tonight, Monday, March 3, 2025?
Yes! A new episode of The Hunting Party, Season 1, Episode 5, "Roy Barber," premieres on NBC tonight, Monday, March 3, 2025.
What time does The Hunting Party come on tonight, Monday, March 3, 2025?
Season 1, Episode 5 of The Hunting Party, titled “Roy Barber,” will premiere on NBC on Monday, February 24, 2015 at 10/9c. The hour-long episode will be available to stream on Peacock the next day.
The episode, like the episodes that preceded it, takes its title from the name of the serial killer that Bex and her team must try to recapture before they kill more innocent people. A description of the upcoming episode reveals that Roy Barber is a murderer who was known as the Couple Killer because of his habit of, well, killing couples.

The team will have to move fast to track down Roy and stop him from killing another innocent couple.
Melissa Roxburgh says the last episode's killer gave her "a few moments of panic"
Roy “The Couple Killer” Barber seems like a nasty guy who should prove to be quite a foe for Bex, but will stopping him be as tough on actress Roxburgh as last week’s episode? In an interview with NBC Insider, Roxburgh explained that a high-stakes scene in Season 1, Episode 4, "Doctor Ezekiel Malak,” took her breath away — literally.
In the episode, Bex gets captured by Dr. Ezekiel Malak (Kevin Corrigan), a disturbed serial killer who medically "kills" his subjects and revives them so he can ask what they saw on the other side. CIA agent Jacob Hassani (Patrick Sabongui) and recent Pit prison guard Shane Florence (Josh McKenzie) are able to save Bex before she dies for real, but filming the scene was a little scary.
"I mean, I've never died, so I don't really know how to play that, so that was challenging,” Roxburgh told NBC Insider. “Then also the duct tape over your mouth... it’s really hard to breathe. Typically, there were a few moments of panic where I couldn't breathe when we were filming it.”
Both Roxburgh and Bex made it through the experience, and it might have even drawn Bex and Oliver Odell (Nick Wechsler) closer together. That closeness might be bad timing considering that this week’s killer targets couples. Wuh-oh!
New episodes of The Hunting Party air on Mondays at 10/9c on NBC and stream next day on Peacock.
