'The Hunting Party', a crime drama series on NBC, has been canceled after two seasons, mirroring the fate of another NBC series, 'Brilliant Minds'. The show, which starred Melissa Roxburgh and was created by JJ Bailey, struggled with its linear ratings, prompting NBC to make room for new scripted series in their schedule. Despite its cancellation, 'The Hunting Party' performed better on streaming platforms, particularly after its first season was launched on Netflix in February, which helped prolong its shelf life. Universal Television, the show's producer, is expected to shop the series to other networks, with Netflix being a likely candidate. NBC's programming president, Jeff Bader, noted the need for better performance in the Thursday 10 p.m. time slot, leading to the decision to replace 'The Hunting Party' with a new installment of 'Law & Order'. The network's final lineup for the 2026-27 season includes four new scripted series and three cancellations, highlighting the challenges of maintaining a successful programming schedule.
