RMC Découverte tracks down Hunted

The original Channel 4 version of Hunted

French network RMC Découverte has ordered a local version of Endemol Shine Group entertainment format Hunted.

The 12×60’ season is being produced by Endemol Shine France and will air during primetime this autumn, under the title Escape: 21 Jours Pour Disparaitre.

The format was originally created by Shine TV, part of Endemol Shine Group, and launched in the UK on Channel 4 in 2015. It has been renewed for a fourth series on C4, which is expected to air in late 2018.

The format has since been sold into eight markets including the US, where it aired on CBS, China, Russia,  Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands.

The show sees groups of members of the public go on the run and try to evade a team of surveillance experts in order to win a cash prize.
