Hunted (Australian TV series)
Hunted is an Australian reality television series based on the British reality television series of the same name. The first season premiered on Network 10 on 17 July 2022, whilst the second season was renewed in August 2022 and premiered on 17 July 2023. Premise
The show is a competition series that centres on nine teams of two as they are "fugitives" on the run from highly skilled hunters. Fugitives are released from a common location at the start of the hunt, with an overnight bag and $500 ($200 cash and $300 on a debit card). Each pair attempts to use their wits to evade capture for 21 days in the state of Victoria. Meanwhile, a team of hunters attempt to locate and capture the fugitives using replicated "powers of the state" such as ANPR and CCTV. The hunters are also given access to the fugitive's bank accounts and phone records. 24 hours before the end of the hunt, the remaining fugitives call a given phone number to access information about the "extraction point", a location they must reach by the end of the hunt. While the hunters are not informed of the extraction point, fugitive's current locations are disclosed to the hunters once they call the phone number. Any fugitives able to evade capture and make it to the extraction point in time win a share of the grand prize of $100,000. Hunters
