Here’s everything you need to know about the show, including the brave contestants ready to take on the challenge.
The Hunt: Prey vs Predator: How does it work?
Ten players enter the forest and are immediately split into two sides: Prey and Predator.
The Prey must protect their cash while completing challenges to increase the prize pot.
The Predators, meanwhile, are hot on their trail, hunting to seize the money.
If they succeed, the roles flip instantly, turning hunters into the hunted.
Channel 4 has upped the stakes with cutting-edge tracking technology.
There is nowhere to hide for long. Every player must keep moving or risk losing their hard-earned money to the opposition.
What is the total prize money?
The prize pot grows throughout the series and could reach an impressive £100,000 by the final episode.
The last player standing takes it all.
Steven Handley, Channel 4’s Head of Reality & Entertainment, says: “The Hunt delivers high-octane adventure reality and takes innovative gaming tech to create a world where viewers can experience in real time what happens when we re-engage our primal instincts.
“I can’t wait to see what strategies a group of ordinary Brits use to survive in a world with just one rule – hunt or be hunted.”
The Hunt: Prey vs Predator – The contestants
Meet the 10 daring contestants:
- Ameer, 28, Welsh language campaigner: “I enjoy the good things in life – fast cars, food and films – so being thrown into the forest with very little is a shock.”
- Charlotte, 27, full-time mum: a former RAF servicewoman determined to prove she isn’t “just a blonde mum from Lincolnshire”.
- Chloe, 27, logistics coordinator: “I’m friendly, fun, bubbly and love to make people laugh.”
