Further cementing its position as a global leader in the financing and distribution of innovative, reality formats, Seven.One Studios International today announced that it will distribute The Hunt (w/t), a heart-pounding, high-stakes game of predator versus prey, where there is only one rule – hunt or be hunted!
Commissioned by Channel 4 in the UK, the 9 x 60’ show will be produced by CPL Productions and GroupM Motion Entertainment and is based on an original idea by Redseven Entertainment.
Seven.One Studios International will introduce the format to the market at London Screenings, with a full launch to follow at Mipcom 2025 in October.
In The Hunt, contestants are dropped deep in a vast, unforgiving forest, into the ultimate real-world game of hide and seek – where losing means walking away with nothing and winning could mean pocketing up to £100,000. Surviving the game isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about being the smartest.
Each episode is built around a tense, dog-eat-dog hunt, where each player becomes either a Predator or Prey. The Prey hold the cash, desperately trying to protect their winnings while completing challenges to win more money. The Predators must hunt them down and steal their cash. If they succeed their roles are reversed and the entire game flips, with Predators suddenly become Prey.
Wearing cutting-edge tracking technology, no player can hide for long in the dense forest hunting ground. Each player must keep moving to remain in the game or forfeit their money.
Clever alliances, strategic teamwork, and mind games are the key to survival as at the end of each hunt, back at a futuristic basecamp it’s time for one player to face elimination from the game.
With every episode, the intensity escalates, fortunes shift, alliances shatter, and only the sharpest, strongest, and savviest will make it to the final showdown. Who will master the chase? Who will outthink the hunt? And who will walk away with the life-changing prize?
Tim Gerhartz, Managing Director at Seven.One Studios International, said: I am thrilled that Seven.One Studios International is representing The Hunt internationally. This, loud, energetic, high-concept show will be one of the most ambitious and high-profile reality formats to go into production during 2025. Myself and the rest of the sales team are really looking forward to giving clients an initial first look at London Screenings.
