What if YOU had to vanish for 21 days with professional spies hunting you?
Season 3 • Episode 11
LatestIt's the finale of Hunted and only two teams of fugitives remain in the running to win a share of $1 million.
Could you disappear without a trace? Hunted follows nine pairs of ordinary Australians who become fugitives in this unique new series. With limited funds and resources, they will have to think of ingenious ways to survive and remain undetected for 21 days. Hunting them down are some of the world’s best investigators selected from the Australian Federal Police, Australian Defence Force, British Intelligence, skilled cyber analysts, special ops and private security, using their expertise and replicated powers of state. Filmed entirely in Melbourne and greater regional Victoria, our cunning fugitives will need to be at the top of their game to evade capture from the ground hunters and the Hunted HQ team.
Editing

Production
Real AFP/Defence involvement makes the surveillance terrifyingly authentic
Practical Effects

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show taps into genuine post-Snowden anxieties about surveillance states, but packages them as entertainment — making it oddly prescient viewing.
The 'Hunters' use actual replicated state powers including ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) and CCTV networks, making this one of the most legally accurate reality shows ever produced.
