Hunted (2015 TV series)

Hunted is a British reality television series that began airing on Channel 4 on 10 September 2015. The series features contestants who are instructed to go on the run for a period of 25 (originally 28) days in mainland Great Britain, whilst avoiding a team of Hunters composed of former and serving police, intelligence personnel, and on-foot teams.

During their time, the Hunters have access to contestants' personal information and use "powers of the state" such as ANPR, CCTV and call tracing to locate contestants. At times, the Hunters will use social media and monetary rewards to members of the public (and captured contestants) for information leading to a successful capture. On the final day, any remaining contestants must reach a designated "extraction" point before being captured, winning a share of £100,000. It has a similar format to the programme Wanted which aired from 1996–1997 on Channel 4.

A celebrity adaptation, Celebrity Hunted, is also produced in aid of Stand Up to Cancer, where contestants compete for a shorter time period of 14 days.

A seventh regular series was broadcast from 17 March 2024 to 21 April 2024. It was followed by a sixth celebrity series, which aired from 5 January 2025 to 23 February 2025.

In March 2025, Channel 4 confirmed that Hunted and Celebrity Hunted would return for their eighth and seventh series respectively. Casting for the eighth regular series opened on 20 January 2025 with filming expected to commence between June–July 2025.
