“Not a word to anyone.” Apple TV has re-released the official trailer for a chilling new French thriller series called The Hunt, also known as Traqués in French, made by Gaumont in France. Not to be confused with either the Danish film called The Hunt with Mads Mikkelsen or the controversial American film The Hunt from a few years ago. This series was initially supposed to debut last year, but due to plagiarism claims it was pulled from the calendar. Gaumont actually did an investigation & discovered that this is indeed based on Douglas Fairbairn’s novel “Shoot”. To solve the issues they acquired the rights and have finalized legal issues for the March release. Franck and his buddies enjoy going on hunting trips. One day, they encounter another hunting group who strangely targets them. In a moment of self-defense, Franck’s group injures one of the attackers. But paranoia sets in as they return home and try to forget the incident – but the start to feel hunted by now vengeful enemies after them. “The most dangerous enemy is the one you can’t see.” Starring Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Laurent, pluds Damien Bonnard, Manuel Guillot, Cédric Appietto, Angelyna Danabe-Mignot, Sarah Pachoud, Yann Goven, Paul Beaurepaire, Patrick De Vallette. This is a much better trailer than the first one – more intense & more thrilling. Actually might end up great.

Here’s the official 2026 trailer (+ poster) for Apple TV’s thriller series The Hunt, direct from YouTube:

Franck (Benoît Magimel) and his longtime friends enjoy spending their weekends hunting together, but one Sunday, they come across another group of hunters who start targeting them without explanation. When one of their party is shot, Franck’s friends strike back, sending an attacker to the ground. Barely managing to escape, they keep the event a secret. Franck tries to go back to his life as usual alongside his wife Krystel (Mélanie Laurent), but in the next few days, he starts to feel like he and his friends are being watched, or worse, tracked by hunters who are now hell-bent on revenge. The Hunt, also titled Traqués (meaning Hunted) in French, is a series created & written & directed by French writer / filmmaker Cédric Anger, director of the films The Killer, The Counsel, Next Time I’ll Aim for the Heart, and Paris Pigalle previously. The series is originally based on Douglas Fairbairn’s 1973 novel “Shoot” and Gaumont acquired the rights. Produced by Isabelle Degeorges; made by the studio Gaumont in France. Executive produced by Sidonie Dumas, Isabelle Degeorges, Clémentine Vaudaux, and Alexis Barqueiro at Gaumont. Apple releases Anger’s The Hunt series streaming on Apple TV+ starting March 4th, 2026 coming up soon. Still curious?
