The NBC series The Hunting Party, starring Melissa Roxburgh, has been canceled after two seasons.
While most TV cancellations and renewals are revealed ahead of the network upfront events, which happened in early May, NBC decided to wait on making a decision for The Hunting Party.
Deadline reports that the network decided to wait as “executives took extra time to evaluate the show’s performance on both linear and streaming.” Unfortunately, the decision ended up being to cancel the show.
Thankfully, producers plan on shopping the show around in hopes of getting a renewal elsewhere.
NBC exec Jeff Bader basically hinted at the cancellation last month while talking about the fall lineup.
“We’re looking for places where we can grow the network, and that is a time period where we think we can do better,” he told Deadline. “Nothing negative about Hunting Party, but for our linear schedule, we absolutely need to try and do a little bit better there.”
Deadline reports that an outreach to Netflix is “logical” as the streamer already licenses the show. The outlet did point out that viewership from the streamer did not help grow NBC’s audience for season two though.
