Elite FBI Team Chases Down Serial Killers

What is The Hunting Party about? The new NBC “high-concept crime procedural” centers around an elite group of investigators led by former FBI Agent Rebecca “Bex” Henderson. They are hunting down a group of escaped inmates who managed to escape a secret, high-security jail.

Bex has never heard of this place called “The Pit.” The hexagon-shaped building was where these elite criminals escaped from. Worse yet, these are serial killers that escaped. They are considered the “most violent and dangerous criminals the world has ever known.”

However, despite her “messy” history with the bureau, Bex is an elite expert on serial killers. Her ability to be tough and gentle when needed makes her the perfect person to lead this hunt.

Bex and her team have a twofold mission. They need to figure out who was behind the escape. There is evidence that the criminals were assisted in escaping. In addition, the team needs to find them.

Who Stars In NBC’s The Hunting Party?

Besides Melissa Roxburgh, who also guest stars in Justin Hartley’s hit series Tracker, who else stars in The Hunting Party?

Firstly, Revenge star Nick Wechsler stars as Oliver Odell. Oliver is Bex’s former FBI partner, and more. The two have a romantic history that will certainly play in the story. Although brilliant, Oliver can be unpredictable, which could add to the drama.

Next, Josh McKenzie is prison guard Shane Florence, Sara Garcia is intel officer and Army Major Jennifer Morales, Patrick Sabongui is CIA agent and multi-linguist Ryan Hassani, and Kyra  Leroux is Bex’s adopted daughter Samantha Henderson. Samantha is away at university. Therefore, she is a recurring cast member.
