Following a multiple-network bidding war, the network has handed out a 10-episode order to drama Manhunt
The pickup is cast and script contingent, meaning if either fails to work out, NBC does not have to move forward with the series. NBC is not negotiating with anyone to star at this time.
Each season of Manhunt, which will be directed by Gavin Hood (Oscar-winning film Tsotsi), will dramatize the mounting tension of an entire city on the hunt for a fugitive roaming the streets at large. It will examine the moment an American, or international city, becomes a police state, a war zone or a ground zero and the ensuing bloodlust it inspires. Whit Braytonand Zack Rice will pen the scripts and exec produce the Universal Television drama alongside Hood, Michael Sugar, Alex Goldstone and Nicole Romano.
