The Hunt (Traqués): French Drama Series Premiering on Apple TV with Revised Credits

A new French-language drama series titled The Hunt (Traqués) is set to premiere on Apple TV on March 4. Originally scheduled for release on December 3, the series was delayed due to claims of plagiarism, prompting an investigation by Gaumont, the production company behind the show. The series, created by director Cédric Anger, was found to have similarities with the novel Shoot by Douglas Fairbairn and its film adaptation, leading to a reevaluation of the credits.

Following negotiations with the rights holders of the book and film, Gaumont made adjustments to the series, now officially recognized as "a series by Anger based on the novel Shoot by Douglas Fairbairn." The show's information, previously removed after the delay, has been reinstated on Apple's platforms with the revised credits. The Hunt follows the story of Franck and his friends who find themselves hunted by a mysterious group after a hunting trip turns deadly, leading to a dangerous game of revenge and survival.

Starring Benoît Magimel, Mélanie Laurent, Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, Cédric Appietto, and Frédéric Maranber, the six-episode series is produced by Gaumont and features a talented cast. The first two episodes of The Hunt will premiere globally on March 4, with subsequent episodes releasing every Wednesday until April 1. Don't miss this thrilling drama series that promises suspense, intrigue, and intense storytelling.
