ProSieben Sets May 12 Premiere for Celebrity Manhunt Series "The Hunt"

The late-night launch signals ProSieben's bet that a survival‑strategy mashup will pull viewers to TV plus Joyn.

Overview

  • The series, debuting Tuesday, May 12, will run as double episodes on four consecutive Tuesdays on ProSieben with a live stream on Joyn and on‑demand access after broadcast.
  • Contestants are dropped into a Bulgarian forest, split into hunters and hunted, complete trials to build a shared jackpot, and switch roles when someone gets caught.
  • Each episode centers on a contained chase that tests fitness, nerve, and tactics, with up to €50,000 at stake for the eventual winner.
  • The first‑season lineup includes Cecilia Asoro, Maurice Dziwak, Caro Robens, Valentina Principessa, Gloria Schwesinger, Max Bornmann, Aaron Königs, and Serkan Yavuz, with Sandra Sicora also reported for the cast on Sunday.
  • Promotions spotlight a blindfolded group kickoff that triggers instant first impressions and alliance talk, underscoring the show's social gameplay focus.
