is gearing up to launch an exhilarating new series called The Hunt. This intense game, stretching across nine adrenaline-pumping episodes, will see players thrust into a simple yet ruthless world: hunt or be hunted.
Contestants are plunged into a merciless forest in this supreme game of hide and seek where if they’re caught, they leave with empty hands – but victory could see them pocketing a whopping £100,000.
Survival hinges on more than just being elusive; it’s a battle of wits to outsmart the competition. With each episode, the stakes soar as participants are designated as either Predators or Prey.
A synopsis unveils the game’s cutthroat nature: “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.”
As contestants strive to evade capture, they’re kitted out with state-of-the-art tracking tech, making the art of concealment all the more challenging within the thicketed woods. To retain their loot, they must never stop moving, reports
The cornerstone of enduring The Hunt will lie in forming shrewd alliances, engaging in tactical teamwork, and playing psychological warfare. Ultimately, one contestant will face elimination after each hunt concludes, culminating back at an futuristic basecamp.
