How to watch 'The Hunting Party' online – stream Melissa Roxburgh thriller from anywhere

What if, in “Suicide Squad”, the evil inmates all broke out? That, minus the comic book stuff, is effectively the premise of high-concept crime drama “The Hunting Party”, which enlists ex-FBI Special Agent Bex Henderson’s (Melissa Roxburgh) to round them back up, with special emphasis on serial killer Richard Harris (Tobias Jelinek).

You can watch "The Hunting Party" season 1 online from anywhere with a VPN.

Henderson, like the rest of us, had been under the impression that Harris was executed in 2017. His being at large, dismembering people and stitching them back together, suggests not.

Harris, along with dozens more of "the most dangerous criminals the world has ever known" were instead being held at 'The Pit', a top secret underground prison, and now they've all escaped. Somebody on the outside wanted them unleashed, and it's up to Bex's team to find out why.

The good news? Only a select few knew about the prison in the first place. The bad? They were all high up the food chain, and could sell Bex out with a click of their fingers.

Read on as we explain how to watch "The Hunting Party" online, on TV and from anywhere, including free options.
