Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- NBC has officially canceled the sophomore drama series The Hunting Party after two seasons, joining fellow canceled NBC drama Brilliant Minds.
- Universal Television, the studio behind The Hunting Party, is expected to shop the series to other platforms, with Netflix, which currently licenses the show in the U.S., being a likely candidate.
- The Hunting Party showed middling linear ratings on NBC but performed better on streaming services, particularly on Netflix and Peacock, which helped extend its lifespan.
- NBC decided to replace The Hunting Party with the original Law & Order in its Thursday 10 p.m. time slot, aiming to improve the network’s performance in that period.
- For the 2026-27 season, NBC’s lineup includes four new scripted series and three cancellations: Brilliant Minds, The Hunting Party, and the comedy Stumble.
