The show, which comes from creator JJ Bailey and Jake Coburn, who both serve as showrunners, was set to premiere on Monday February 3 at 10pm. It will now premiere after the NFL divisional playoff game (and the news) on Sunday January 19 at 7pm ET/PT.
That game, which kicks off at 3pm ET, is set to be between the Philadelphia Eagles and the winner of tonight’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings.
It will then be repeated in its original premiere timeslot.
The Hunting Party follows a small team of investigators who are assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers our country has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from a top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist.
Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia also star.
Produced by Universal Television, Thor Freudenthal directs and Keto Shimizu is among the writers, while both will exec produce alongside Bailey and Coburn.
