Will There Be a 'We Hunt Together' Season 3?
Crime thrillers and procedural series are a dime a dozen in the world of British entertainment these days. From the seemingly thousands of stories about individuals in a variety of everyday occupations (Catholic priest, restaurant owner, Anglican vicar, friendly old lady up the road) who decide to suddenly start solving murders in their spare time to the unending flood of true crime reenactments based on grisly real-life events, there is no shortage of options for viewers who love these genres. But, for the most part, truly original and unexpected stories are still reasonably rare — undoubtedly because part of the appeal of stories like this is their formulaic predictability.
This is why when a show like We Hunt Together arrives — a series that's so determined to be something different — it's worth paying attention to. A cat and mouse thriller that's as focused on the stories of the pair committing the crimes at its center as it is the detectives chasing after them, the drama is one part love story, one part police procedural, and one part psychological exploration, all of which ask viewers ultimately to question their own beliefs about weighty topics like vengeance, justice, and duty. Unfraid to go to dark places or to make its lead characters unlikeable, the show is a welcome breath of fresh air in a genre that thrives on repetition and sameness.
Season 1 of the show originally aired back in 2020, starring Hermione Corfield (The Halcyon) as Freddy and Dipo Ola (Inside No. 9) as Baba, a pair of lovers who find themselves on a murder spree, and Eve Myles (Keeping Faith) and Babou Ceesay (Rogue One) as the detectives trying to track them down. It returned for a second outing in 2022, with a more traditional story that saw Corfield's Freddy become the object of a serial killer known as the Birdman's obsession. And while the Season 2 finale certainly left the door open for the story to continue, there's been little news in the intervening months about whether or not it would. Neither Showtime nor UKTV network Alibi has commented on the series' future one way or the other since its second season concluded.
