In the show, Franck (Magimel) and his longtime friends, who spend weekends hunting together, come across another group who begin targeting them for no apparent reason. Despite one of their group being shot, they strike back and manage to escape. However, as Franck goes back to his normal life with wife Krystel (Laurent), he senses he is being watched or tracked by hunters now hell-bent on revenge.
Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, Cédric Appietto, Angelyna Danabe-Mignot, Paul Beaurepaire, Yann Goven, Sarah Pachoud and Patrick De Vallette also star.
The Hunt will be Apple TV+’s fourth original French-language show after the International Emmy-winning fine wine thriller drama Drops of God, celebrity chef drama Carême and high-stakes thriller Liaison starring Vincent Cassel and Eva Green.
