NBC is unleashing a new thriller, The Hunting Party, and it’s bringing a chilling premise to Sunday nights. The series premiere, airing this Sunday, January 19, at 7:00 PM ET, introduces viewers to a specialized FBI team tasked with a uniquely terrifying mission: tracking down escaped serial killers. The series begins with a catastrophic event: a massive explosion rocks the Pit, a top-secret, maximum-security prison designed to hold the nation’s most dangerous criminals. Among the escapees is Richard Harris, a notorious serial killer whose name alone evokes terror.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, disgraced FBI agent Bex Henderson is called upon to lead the manhunt. Her past failures and the weight of this new responsibility create a compelling tension. The success of the mission, and perhaps Henderson’s redemption, hinges on her ability to capture Harris before he can add to his grim body count. The Hunting Party sets out to explore the high-stakes world of law enforcement’s elite team tasked with capturing escaped convicts. Each episode will presumably focus on a different escaped killer, creating an anthology-like structure within the overarching narrative.
“Richard Harris” premieres Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET on NBC.
