SPY THRILLER HUNTED, FROM CREATOR AND WRITER FRANK SPOTNITZ, STARRING MELISSA GEORGE, DEBUTS OCT. 19 ON CINEMAX
From “The X-Files” writer and producer Frank Spotnitz comes HUNTED, an eight-episode drama series set in the world of international espionage. Golden Globe nominee Melissa George (HBO’s “In Treatment”) stars as Sam Hunter, a skilled, gutsy operative for Byzantium, a secretive private firm involved in global intelligence and espionage. After surviving an attempt on her life that may have been orchestrated by members of her own team, she returns to work, but doesn’t know who to trust. Shot on location in Europe, the primetime suspense show debuts FRIDAY, OCT. 19 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on CINEMAX.
The cast of HUNTED also includes Adam Rayner (“Hawthorne,” “Dragon Age: Redemption”), Stephen Dillane (HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “John Adams”), Stephen Campbell Moore (“The Bank Job,” “The History Boys”), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (“Lost,” CINEMAX’s “Strike Back”), Morven Christie (“The Sinking of the Laconia”), Lex Shrapnel (“Captain America: The First Avenger”), Indira Varma (“Human Target,” HBO’s “Rome”), Dhaffer L’Abidine (“Sex and the City 2”) and Patrick Malahide (“Billy Elliot,” HBO’s “Five Days”).
HUNTED follows two primary story lines: Sam Hunter’s journey to discover who is behind the attempt on her life and Byzantium’s mission itself, both of which have larger implications. As the story unfolds, it becomes hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. Uncertain of its clients’ motives, the Byzantium team often finds itself working in a gray area, forcing Sam to operate in complete secrecy for her own safety.
