What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thrilling in theory but glaringly dull in execution, The Hunting party plays it too fast and loose with its serial killer mayhem ideas, making it just another procedural in the sea of many.

The premise of The Hunting Party—searching for serial killers whose ill-advised treatments have rendered them even more vicious—is intriguing in theory, but the writers have somehow chosen the dullest possible execution of that vision. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety Feb 6, 2025
In what feels like a mix between NBC’s “The Blacklist” and CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” the series is disturbing, and a tad predictable -- but is an overall engaging watch. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Feb 3, 2025
It’s a show produced by algorithms and focus groups, a product with no pulse whatsoever. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Aug 4, 2025
The formulaic crime series attempts to heighten the drama by positioning a weekly cat-and-mouse plot within a larger narrative about secretive and unethical government behavior. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Feb 5, 2025
The Hunting Party is a generic action series that seems to operate on twists that either aren’t that surprising or are pretty much useless. Go to Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Feb 4, 2025
The Hunting Party is a rather mediocre affair. Great idea, for sure, but the execution isn’t there. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Katalina C @RT82688651 Oct 20, 2026 I loveeeeee this show!!!! I wish that there was a new season coming out because omg this was sooo good!!! I loved the actors in it and the story line with everyone and I really want this show to come out with a new season!!!!! Please :) See more Demetri D @TheNBKingTTV Oct 12, 2026 I watched it with my parents, the three of us thought it was amazing. Dissapointed to find out it won't be returning. I loved it. See more Dan N @movies_are_groovy Sep 30, 2026 I thought I would like this with the premise, but it is just so cringy with a lot of the dialogue. Like these detectives just happen to know anything about everything because their "kids like it" or some dumb excuse. Maybe have another character that researches and relays this info instead? Like it's easy, but they just wanted to speed up the chats so much that these guys don't miss a beat and don't need to question anything. This is just rushed and lacking any sort of storyline other than "these inmates escaped and we know exactly where they are and who they are and how they're going to kill their victim, can we reach them in time?" See more Avindu G @RT86379654 Sep 6, 2026 Great Bold Pilot Season. Brand new idea to the genre. See more Teresa H @RT28179906 Jul 2, 2026 Love the cast! Love this series and very disappointed that NBC cancelled the series. Wish they would reconsider renewing. See more V G. @Movie_lover2 May 13, 2026 The Hunting Party is an amazing series! The cast is wonderful and storyline and plot twists are engaging and entertaining. I really hope they renew this series for a season three!!! See more Read all reviews
