The Hunted Australia finale may have only aired last night, but the show has had such great success that Channel 10 has already opened casting for season 2.
Channel 10 have advertised the casting call on their website and seemingly confirmed season two at the same time.
“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on the run from the authorities? What would you do? Who would you trust?” The webpage reads.
The advertisement continues, “In a high-tech world where everything you do is tracked & recorded, could you just vanish without a trace?
“In Hunted, the heart pounding game of cat and mouse, the goal is simple: outsmart a team of expert trackers to avoid detection and you could win a HUGE CASH PRIZE.
“If you are ready to be part of a thrilling, life-changing adventure, either in a team of two or on your own… apply for Hunted now.”
The advertisement says applicants must be available to film in Melbourne between the 20th of February 2023 and the 15th of March 2023.

Put simply, Hunted is a show about nine pairs of fugitives who are ‘hunted’ by hunters in Melbourne. The hunters have access to the fugitive’s contacts, social media and bank records, and CCTV footage that has been captured in public places. The hunters are also real life military and intelligence operatives
The fugitives who can avoid capture for 21 days will share a $100,000 cash prize. They are allowed to bring along an overnight bag, sunglasses, a map of Victoria, a black cap, disguises, contact addresses, running shoes and food. Each pair had $200 in cash and $300 in the bank for their 21 days.
Last night, Hunted fugitives Stathi and Rob shared the joint first prize of $100,000 after managing to evade authorities for 21 days.
