The upcoming NBC proceduralThe Hunting Party,featuringMelissa Roxburghin the lead role, will premiere on Monday, August 05, 2025. In anticipation,TVLinehas dropped a disturbing first-look image from the series. As previously announced, Roxburgh portrays Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, a former FBI profiler leading a small team of investigators. She was cast in the role back in May, and later that same month,Patrick Sabongui,Josh McKenzieandSara Garciajoined the cast as series regulars.
Created byJJ Bailey,The Hunting Partychronicles Bex and her team’s journey as they are on the trail ofthe world’s most dangerous serial killers, all of whom have escaped from “The Pit,” a top-secret government prison that isn’t supposed to exist. “As Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late,” the official logline reads, “she’ll discover the one thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the prison itself that they just escaped from… because The Pit wasn’t just a prison.”
Looking at the exclusive image below, a stunned Bex gazes through a window at a yet-to-be-revealed potential crime scene or person. Details about the scene remain a mystery, so fans will most likely have to wait tillThe Hunting Partypremieres. In the meantime,details of the cast, besides Roxburgh, are as follows:Nick Wechsler(Revenge) stars as Oliver Odell, Bex’s former partner; Josh Mackenzie (La Brea) as Shane Florence, a former soldier and current prison guard; Sara Garcia (The Flash) as Jennifer Morales, an intel officer and Major in the Army; and Patrick Sabongui (The Flash) as CIA agent Ryan Hassani.
