Following a last-minute delay due to reported allegations of plagiarism, French drama The Hunt<\/a> was released on Apple TV this Wednesday. Here are the details.<\/p>\n

First two episodes now available<\/p>\n

Last September, Apple confirmed that a new thriller series called The Hunt<\/a> would premiere on Apple TV on December 3. However, about two weeks before the premiere date, The Hunt vanished<\/a> from the service\u2019s release schedule and marketing material.<\/p>\n

A few days after that, French media reported<\/a> that the series had been pulled due to allegations of plagiarism from a 1973 novel called La Traque<\/a>, by Bernard Petit, a report later confirmed by Deadline.<\/p>\n

And while Apple never publicly addressed the allegations, it did confirm a few days ago<\/a> that the show would premiere today, March 4. The first two episodes are available on Apple TV, with weekly episodes premiering every Wednesday through April 1st.<\/p>\n

According to the company, here\u2019s what to expect from The Hunt<\/a>, which stars M\u00e9lanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds<\/a>), and Beno\u00eet Magimel (The Piano Teacher<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Franck (Beno\u00eet Magimel) and his longtime friends enjoy spending their weekends hunting together, but one Sunday, they come across another group of hunters who start targeting them without explanation. When one of their party is shot, Franck\u2019s friends strike back, sending an attacker to the ground. Barely managing to escape, the four friends keep the event a secret. Franck tries to go back to his life as usual alongside his wife Krystel (M\u00e9lanie Laurent), but in the next few days, he starts to feel like he and his friends are being watched, or worse, tracked by hunters who are now hell-bent on revenge.<\/p>\n
