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)
