The Hunt Season 2: Will It Return Or Is The Chase Over?

So, what’s the deal with The Hunt on Apple TV? If you watched those six episodes of French thriller forest mayhem and came away wondering 'Okay, are they making more of this?' — you’re not alone. Let’s get into what’s actually happening with Season 2, because there are a few things here that might trip people up.

Wait, Is The Hunt Coming Back?

Straight answer: Nobody knows yet. Apple TV hasn’t canceled it… but they haven’t renewed it either. The show wrapped its first season on April 1, 2026, after a brisk month that started on March 4. Since then? Silence from Apple.

Usually, with these streaming originals, there’s a waiting period where the platform tallies up viewing numbers, social media buzz, and the almighty critic scores before making any big announcements. Sometimes, networks split up a show’s first season to stretch things out (you’ve seen this trick everywhere lately), but The Hunt didn't bother with that—just six episodes, all released according to schedule, no multi-part shenanigans.

Miniseries or Ongoing Show? Well, That’s Complicated

Here’s where things get a bit confusing. According to IMDb, The Hunt is officially labeled as a miniseries. That’s usually a polite way of saying there won’t be a Season 2, and the story is meant to stand alone. If you’re looking for another handful of episodes about this unlucky hunting party, don’t get your hopes up… but don’t write it off completely, either. These days, even miniseries come back if enough people tune in (and tweet rabidly).

Story-wise, there’s apparently plenty of room for a sequel or spinoff. But if the showrunners planned this as a one-and-done, then, well, that’s what it could stay—unless someone at Apple decides otherwise.

How Are the Reviews?

Quick score rundown:

• IMDb: 5.4 out of 10 (so, mostly average and a touch underwhelming)
• Rotten Tomatoes: 80% (which is actually pretty strong, especially for a streaming thriller with a relatively niche audience outside France)

So, depending on which number you trust more, The Hunt either has a fighting chance or is already on the chopping block.

Who’s in This Again?

If your memory’s fuzzy, the cast list features Benoît Magimel, Mélanie Laurent, Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, and Cédric Appietto, among others. Solid talent—especially if you’re a fan of French cinema.

So, Am I Getting More Episodes or Not?

The honest answer is: Nobody knows yet, not even Apple TV. Streaming networks rarely give instant greenlights for second seasons, especially when the initial batch is technically a miniseries. It all comes down to ratings, reviews, and whether Apple thinks there’s buzz (and profit) in sending this cast and crew back into the woods for another round. If anything surfaces—renewal, cancellation, or even a totally wild spinoff—you’ll hear about it here.
