Apple TV has revealed the inclusion of a new show in its March release lineup: the postponed thriller “The Hunt,” which will debut following a plagiarism inquiry.
### The Hunt is Arriving on Apple TV After a Three-Month Delay
Last November, merely two weeks ahead of the French-language thriller series “The Hunt” set to launch on Apple TV, it was unexpectedly taken off the release schedule. Unlike the also-delayed series “The Savant,” which is still listed as part of Apple’s upcoming offerings, “The Hunt” was completely removed from Apple’s press site and YouTube.
The motive behind this abrupt removal was soon disclosed. Apple and its production associate Gaumont reportedly became aware of a plagiarism allegation related to the series. Fortunately, this matter has since been resolved. According to Deadline, Gaumont issued a statement clarifying that “The Hunt’s” launch was put on hold after it was found that the project, originally presented as an original piece, was rooted in an existing work, Douglas Fairbairn’s “Shoot.” Upon this discovery, Gaumont promptly took steps to identify the rights holders and secure the necessary permissions.
“The Hunt” is now scheduled to premiere on Apple TV on **Wednesday, March 4**, three months following its initial release date.
### Plot Summary
Apple has released an official summary for the series:
Franck (Benoît Magimel) and his close friends relish their weekends spent hunting together, but one Sunday, they encounter another group of hunters who inexplicably start targeting them. When one of Franck’s friends gets shot, they strike back but narrowly escape. As they attempt to return to their everyday lives, Franck begins to sense that he and his friends are being monitored, or worse, pursued by those seeking revenge.
