If you happened to miss The Hunting Party season 1 when it aired on NBC, you can always check it out on Peacock. However, a new move could help to get more eyes on the series, giving the second season a boost that it deserves.
The Hunting Party season 1 is on the list of February arrivals on Netflix. Yes, this is a surprise, but a pleasant one, as it could get more eyes on the serial killer series.
When will The Hunting Party season 1 come to Netflix?
The first season will drop in full on Sunday, Feb. 15. The move comes at a great time, as NBC will be going dark on new episodes of it shows throughout the Winter Olympics, favoring the sports coverage. As people look for something to watch, they’ll turn to Netflix, and here is a series to check out.
With just 10 episodes to the first season, it’s a great binge-watch. There will be time for people to head to Peacock for the first set of episodes from The Hunting Party season 2, and that means people will be ready for the show’s return! We’re here for it!
Why Netflix getting The Hunting Party is a good thing
This is great for the future of the show. The Netflix effect is real, giving a number of shows a boost, both during and after their runs. Just look at how the interest in Suits went up considerably years after its series finale aired! It led to a push for a revival or a spinoff, although that didn’t quite work out with Suits: LA.
Outlander got a huge boost after the third and fourth seasons when they arrived on Netflix. It led to more people finding the time-travelling romance series, and the fifth season became the most-watched on STARZ.
Like Outlander, The Hunting Party can benefit in real time. The full first season is arriving when the show will be on the Winter Olympics break, and this gives the Netflix effect time to work. As more people realize that this series exists, it will draw more to the second season, and boosting the linear ratings for the second season helps to land a third season.
We know that the Thursday night timeslot is a bad one, and so many NBC shows have been canceled after going there. They’ve needed an extra boost, and this Netflix move is it.
The Hunting Party season 1 will arrive on Netflix on Sunday, Feb. 15.
