French thriller series The Hunt finally hit Apple TV after a three‑month hold sparked by plagiarism claims. The show vanished from the platform two weeks before its planned December 3 debut, only to reappear on March 4 with the first two episodes live. Apple never addressed the allegations publicly, but confirmed the new launch date.

Plot centers on Franck, played by Benoît Magimel, and his friends who enjoy weekend hunts until a rival group turns the tables, shooting one of them. The survivors hide the incident, but the hunters return, stalking the group. Mélanie Laurent co‑stars as Franck’s wife, adding tension to the tense chase.

Episodes stream weekly on Wednesdays through April 1, with the first two already available. Apple TV costs $12.99 per month and bundles titles like *Severance* and *Silo*. The platform’s subscription model keeps viewers locked into a growing library of original content, positioning it against rivals such as Netflix and Disney+.

The plagiarism controversy centers on a 1973 novel, *La Traque*, by Bernard Petit, which critics say the series mirrors. Apple’s silence on the issue leaves fans uncertain, yet the show’s swift release suggests the company prioritizes content rollout over legal scrutiny. Viewers now face a choice: enjoy the drama or question its originality.
