Description
Endemol Shine Australia for Ten
Hunted returns post-Olympics with 10 shaking up the start of the hunt with the fugitives enacting a $1m robbery in Ballarat. If they evade capture, the money is theirs to keep.
This is a series twist which was the premise for UK Sky TV’s The Heist, produced by Shine, the same production company behind Hunted.
Nine pairs of ordinary Australians turn into shrewd Fugitives, with their eyes on the prize – one million dollars – which is being held at the Savings Bank of Ballarat. It’s a modern-day bank heist as the Fugitives break into the bank and steal the money, before making their getaway to disappear without a trace.
The goal is to make it to the extraction point in 20 days, all while evading capture from the Hunters, a team of some of the best investigators formally of the AFP, ADF, and British Intelligence, as well as special operations and cyber security experts.
These dedicated, experienced, and sharply trained Hunters must use their arsenal of tools to capture the Fugitives at large. They must be ruthless in their conclusions, masterful in their tactics, and relentless in their captures.
The Hunters will stop at nothing to outthink, outsmart, and outrun the Fugitives striving to escape.
