"The eight-episode series, titled "The Hunt" (Traqués in French), had been set to premiere on Apple TV next Wednesday, December 3, with a two-episode launch followed by weekly installments through the end of the month. But then last week, Apple quietly removed all the trailers, listings, and other promotional materials for the show from its app and website without explanation."
"French studio Gaumont, which produced "The Hunt," has acknowledged that the series is on hold while it looks into the claims. In a statement shared with Variety, the company said: "The broadcast of our series The Hunt has been temporarily postponed. We are currently conducting a thorough review to address any questions related to our production. We take intellectual property matters very seriously.""
Apple removed trailers and listings for The Hunt from its app and website days before a planned December 3 premiere. Allegations claim creator Cédric Anger lifted the plot from Douglas Fairbairn's 1973 novel Shoot, later adapted into a 1976 film. French journalist Clément Garin first flagged the similarities. Gaumont confirmed the series has been temporarily postponed and said it is conducting a thorough review, emphasizing seriousness about intellectual property. Apple has not commented publicly. Shoot follows longtime friends whose hunting weekend escalates into violent confrontation and a continuing sense of being pursued.
