Hunted is the latest reality TV competition series to capture the nation’s attention, but of course, that’s not all they’re capturing.
Based on the British reality series of the same name, Hunted is Network 10’s latest reality competition program that asks the question: “Could you disappear without a trace?”
Hunted plonks nine pairs of regular, everyday Aussies in the middle of the Melbourne CBD with nothing but $500 and an overnight bag to their names. From there, the aim of the game is to evade capture and survive for 21 days.
Perhaps it sounds easy enough — head to a mate’s house, eat two-minute noodles, enjoy the break from social media. Not so fast.
Our fugitives have a literal team of expert Hunters who are on their tail, trying to track them down, and they all have years of experience.
Lead by The Chief, Former Detective Superintendent David Craig, the Hunted team is comprised of some of the world’s best investigators from the Australian Federal Police, Australian Defence Force and British Intelligence. Also on the team are skilled cyber analysts, special ops and private security, and they’re all using their expertise and replicated powers of state. Oh, and then there are the Ground Hunters, who are all boots on the ground Hunters from law enforcement and the likes.

Our Fugitives have to find a way to beg, borrow, and evade capture for 21 days. They can go anywhere in Victoria while they’re on the run, but they need to be smart if they don’t want to get caught.
For any Fugitive who makes it to the end of the 21 day run, they’ll win a share of $100,000, which will be split between however many people remain standing at the end, but of course, not everyone will cross the finish line. Already we’ve said goodbye to Michelle and Angie from Queensland, and that was just in the first two episodes!
With everyone tuning in to see this exciting game of cat-and-mouse play out, it’s bound to make for great watercooler chat with your friends and co-workers, so you’ll need to know how, and when, to tune in.
Hunted airs from Sunday to Tuesday each week, at 7.30pm, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
