Apple TV's The Hunt finally has a premiere date

"Both The Hunt and Shoot revolve around a group of hunters who start to believe that another group of hunters are coming after them during an excursion out into the wilderness. Though The Hunt was originally scheduled to hit Apple TV on December 3rd, 2025, the plagiarism accusations prompted Apple TV to put the premiere on hold while Gaumont launched an internal investigation to determine how the production was able to make it so far along without anyone noticing its similarities to shoot."

"In a statement to , Gaumont acknowledged that it has determined that The Hunt is "based on an existing work," which is now being reflected in Apple's most recent press release about the show. Apple refers to The Hunt as a "series by Cédric Anger based on the novel "Shoot" by Douglas Fairbairn." As soon as this information came to its attention, Gaumont, the series' producer, immediately took the necessary steps to identify the rights holders,"

"The Hunt - Apple TV's new French-language drama that was previously put on indefinite hold following concerns about plagiarism - has been given a solid release date. Today, Apple announced that The Hunt, which was produced by French studio Gaumont and directed by Cédric Anger, is set to premiere on March 4th. The news comes after months of delays that began when French media reporter Clement Garin noted a number of striking similarities between The Hunt"

Apple TV's French-language drama The Hunt, produced by Gaumont and directed by Cédric Anger, is scheduled to premiere March 4. The series was delayed after a reporter identified striking similarities to Douglas Fairbairn's 1973 novel Shoot. Both works center on groups of hunters who come to believe rival hunters are pursuing them during a wilderness excursion. The Hunt's original premiere date had been December 3, 2025, but Apple put the release on hold while Gaumont investigated. Gaumont acknowledged the series is based on an existing work, sought rights holders, and obtained required authorizations; Apple updated credits to reflect the novel.
