The World's Most Dangerous Criminals Are Loose in First Look at The Hunting Party
Melissa Roxburgh and her team are tasked with tracking down the prisoners who escaped from "The Pit."
The first teaser for NBC’s upcoming crime procedural The Hunting Party is here, and it sure looks like star Melissa Roxburgh will have her hands full in the new year.
The Hunting Party, which will premiere on NBC on February 3 (and will stream the next day on Peacock), stars the Manifest and Quantum Leap actress as Rebecca Henderson, a member of an elite team of investigators hunting down escaped convicts following a top-secret prison break.

The teaser, which debuted on December 21, shows a quick look at that prison, an underground, hexagonal structure known as “The Pit," which is described in a voiceover as “a classified prison home to the most violent and dangerous criminals the world has ever known.”
Or at least it was home to them, because some sort of bombing or explosion has let “a lot” of inmates get out, and it’s up to Rebecca, aka "Bex," and her team to track them down and capture them again. And, presumably, they’ll also try to uncover who orchestrated the jailbreak in the first place and what their sinister goals are.
Sounds like a lot of work, but at least Roxburgh has some experience tracking people down from her time on Manifest.
In addition to Roxburgh, The Hunting Party stars Nick Wechsler (Revenge, Chicago PD) as Oliver Odell, Patrick Sabongui (Homeland, The Flash) as Ryan Hassani, Josh McKenzie (La Brea) as Shane Florence, and Sara Garcia (Ride, The Flash) as Jennifer Morales. Together, these multi-talented detectives will use their talents in one of the most daring cat-and-mouse chases in TV history.
