NBC has always set the gold standard for whip-smart, bingeable procedural crime shows, and this tradition continues with a new high-octane drama debuting in 2025. The Hunting Party — premiering Monday, Feb. 3 at 10 p.m. ET — features a talented cast starring as an elite task force assembled to capture the most dangerous killers in the world after they escape from a top-secret prison that isn’t even supposed to exist.
The compelling superstar team of detectives includes Melissa Roxburgh (Manifest) as Rebecca “Bex” Henderson, an obsessively curious ex-FBI agent and one of the world’s most prolific serial killers hunters, and Nick Wechsler (Revenge) as the brilliant but reckless Oliver Odell, Bex’s former partner.
Rounding out the crew is Patrick Sabongui as Ryan Hassani, a rugged and world-weary CIA agent tasked with managing the developing crisis; Josh McKenzie as charismatic war veteran and prison guard Shane Florence; and Sara Garcia as Jennifer Morales, an optimistic (but deadly smart) intel officer and Army major. Together, they’ll have to combine their considerable talents — and deal with each other’s quirks — to accomplish one of the most daring cat-and-mouse chases in TV history.
While you wait for The Hunting Party to premiere, here are five NBC crime procedurals to dive into — from bona fide modern classics to hidden gems you maybe haven’t heard of yet. Don’t worry: you don’t need a badge to play along and help our TV detectives crack these cases — but snacks do enhance the viewing experience.
