There's a lot of buzz surrounding NBC's new drama, The Hunting Party, but there are precious few details regarding the series, which was a straight-to-order series pickup for the network back in February 2024. However, the series won't air until midseason.

The Hunting Party features several NBC family members including Melissa Roxburgh (Manifest), Sara Garcia (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) and Josh McKenzie (La Brea). Roxburgh is coming off her appearance on the CBS series Tracker. She has taken on several high-action roles in recent years and we fully expect to see her continue that trend in her new series.

Here's everything we know about The Hunting Party.

Next episode of The Hunting Party

The Hunting Party premiered January 19. New episodes air Mondays at 10 pm ET/PT on NBC beginning February 3 with a repeat of the pilot episode.

The next new episode of The Hunting Party airs Monday, March 31:

The Hunting Party episode 8: "Tom Beecher"
"Bex and the team hunt their most depraved serial killer yet, Tom Beecher, who seeks pleasure in other people's pain."

If you've cut the cord, you can watch NBC through DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

The Hunting Party premise

Here's the official synopsis of The Hunting Party from NBC: "A high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist."

There's a trace of The Suicide Squad vibes in The Hunting Party, with a top-secret facility that's completely off the radar that houses some of the most dangerous people alive.

The Hunting Party cast includes Melissa Roxburgh (Manifest) as Rebecca "Bex", Sara Garcia (Ride, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) as Jennifer Morales, Patrick Sabongui (The Flash, Firefly Lane) as Ryan Hassani, Josh McKenzie (La Brea) as Shane Florence and Nick Wechsler (Revenge) as Oliver Odell, Bex's former partner at the FBI and the love of her life.
