The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

What happens

The Hunt (French: Traqués) is a French drama TV miniseries consisting of six episodes and produced by Gaumont Television. It was released globally by Apple TV on 4 March 2026, after a delay caused by a plagiarism investigation. The series was scheduled to premiere on Apple TV on 3 December 2025, but this was postponed in late November 2025, following claims that the series' story was plagiarized from the 1973 novel Shoot, by Douglas Fairbairn, which also was the basis for the 1976 feature film Shoot. An investigation by Gaumont Television established that the miniseries screenwriter and director, Cédric Anger, had neglected giving Fairbairn credit for the original story. After having corrected this in the series' credits and press material, a new premier date of 4 March 2026 was announced on 19 February. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
