The Hunting Party is done hunting. The options on the cast expired yesterday and were not extended by series producer Universal Television, Deadline has learned. With the actors released, the efforts to extend the show’s life are officially over.
The same applies to the NBC drama pilot Key Witness, starring Emily Deschanel, also produced by Universal Television. The project, which narrowly missed the cut for a series order at the network, also was taken out and drew some interest from ABC, I hear. It’s the end of the road for the pilot too, as its cast options lapsed.
