Melissa Roxburgh uncovers the truth about the top-secret murderer’s prison

What’s worse than some of the most dangerous criminals the world has ever known escaping from prison? Well, that’s what’s really happening in The hunting partyas TV Insider’s exclusive trailer reveals.

the new NBC The drama premieres Monday, February 3 at 10/9c. In the new criminal procedure, former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh) leads a team of investigators who have come together to track down and capture the most dangerous serial killers the world has ever seen. They have escaped from the Pit, a top-secret government prison that is not supposed to exist. The reason for that? As we learn in the trailer, all of these serial killers are supposed to be dead; Bex learns this when she is called to give her professional evaluation of one, Richard Harris, who was presumably executed in 2017.

The team must recover all of these prisoners before anyone else is killed. But as Bex rushes to do so, she’ll discover that the only thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the very prison they escaped from, because Pit wasn’t just a prison. The new video, which you can watch above, shows just that, with Bex wondering what Ryan is (Patricio Sabongui) hides.

Besides? Oliver (Nick Wechsler) tells Bex: “The explosion was not an accident. “Someone wanted those murderers to return to the world.” But why? Watch the trailer for much more.

The hunting party also stars Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia. It was created by JJ Bailey, who serves as co-showrunner, writer and executive producer alongside Jake Coburn. Thor Freudenthal is director and executive producer. Keto Shimizu is a writer and executive producer.
