Fans of crime thrillers have a new binge-watch: Season 1 of The Hunting Party is officially streaming on Netflix, giving new viewers the perfect chance to catch up before Season 2 resumes.
Originally premiering on NBC on Jan. 19, 2025, the series quickly built buzz for its intense serial killer investigations and the gripping central mystery surrounding “the Pit” — a secret silo prison that supposedly held inmates believed to be dead. The biggest question still haunting fans? How did the silo explode?
Led by Melissa Roxburgh as profiler Bex, the series blends psychological crime-solving with an overarching conspiracy mystery. While comparisons to Criminal Minds are inevitable thanks to the profiling element, The Hunting Party stands apart with its serialized “Pit” storyline, which adds layers of suspense beyond the weekly killer pursuit.
Netflix picking up Season 1 could provide a major boost to the show’s visibility and potentially strengthen its long-term future.
Season 2 premiered Jan. 8, 2026, on NBC and streams next-day on Peacock. However, after airing four episodes, the series went on hiatus due to the 2026 Winter Games coverage.
NBC has confirmed the show will return the week following the Olympics Closing Ceremony.
Season 2, Episode 5 airs: Thursday, Feb. 26 at 10/9c on NBC
Streaming: Available afterward on Peacock
Release schedule: One new episode weekly
At this time, Season 2 is not yet available on Netflix, with only Season 1 streaming there.
If you’ve been waiting to dive in now’s the time. With Season 1 fully bingeable on Netflix and Season 2 resuming Feb. 26, viewers can catch up just in time to follow the unfolding mystery of the Pit.
For those searching for the rest of Season 2: it’s not missing — it’s simply returning to its regular Thursday schedule after the Olympic break.
