    'The Hunting Party' Canceled After Two Seasons at NBC
    -----------------------------------------------------
    "The Hunting Party" has been canceled after two seasons at NBC.

    The series, which aired its final episode on May 7, starred
    Melissa Roxburgh as former FBI profiler Rebecca "Bex" Henderson,
    who led a small team of investigators that was "assembled to
    track down and capture the most dangerous killers the world has
    ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from 'The Pit,' a
    top-secret government prison that's not supposed to exist," per
    the official logline, which continues: "But as Bex races to
    catch these killers before it's too late, she'll discover that
    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."

    Along with Roxburgh, the cast included Nick Wechsler, Patrick
    Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia. The series was created
    by JJ Bailey, who served as co-showrunner with Jake Coburn.
    Executive producers included Bailey, Coburn, director Thor
    Freudenthal and writer Michael Jones Morales. Universal
    Television was the studio.

    News of the cancellation comes weeks after NBCUniversal's annual
    presentation at upfronts. Along with "The Hunting Party," NBC
    also canceled freshman comedy "Stumble" and second season drama
    "Brilliant Minds."

    "Law & Order," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,"
    "Chicago Fire," "Chicago Med," "Chicago P.D.," "Happy's Place,"
    "St. Denis Medical" and "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins"
    were all renewed.

    During the 2026-2027 season, NBC will debut two new dramas (a
    reboot of "The Rockford Files" and a series about a law
    enforcement family called "Line of Fire) - and two new comedies
    (detective show "Sunset P.I." and a later-in-life love story
    called "Newlyweds").

    Too bad - I think two of those actually ended up having some worth (one
    of which proved me wrong!).

    I leave it up to you to figure out which cancellation I agree with!

    Knowing it's Ian, he was a fan of Stumble.

    For the hell of it, I'm trying a rerun of Brilliant Minds which I never sampled.
