NBC’s “Hunting Party” has the potential to be the next popular program as it examines the psychology of serial killers and includes the overall mystery of why they escaped the secret prison.
Each week, there will be a different serial killer arc, how the team will catch them and the audience of what secrets each member has.
TV fanatics chatted with Patrick Sabongui about his series, why Jacob Hassani despised Oliver Odell, working towards a common goal, and the wonderful dynamics between Hassani, Bex and Shane.
He also teased what was about to happen, first of all, reunite with David Ramsey for the hunting party Episode 1, Episode 6. He shares some of the spoilers, explaining what is coming and how long the series can last.
Check out the interview below.
Hi Patrick. Are you interested in the idea of hunting parties?
I think this is an original concept. I love that it attracts things that are currently prevalent in culture, such as serial killers. There are a lot of podcasts, documentaries and shows to try to understand the psychology and mind of people who will do these things.
I love this is a show that explores some of these ideas, but is wrapped in this fun, high concept, action-driven suite. It’s also a fun way to get involved in some interesting intellectual thoughts.
There is indeed. How do you think it differs from other criminal procedures?
What’s unique about hunting parties is to figure out exactly what the pit is, and there are more sequence arcs. What happened to the explosion?
Who is the player behind the manipulation of the situation? I think the elements surrounding the overall mystery of the hunting party are unique.
Absolutely. Speaking of this, it seems Jacob Hassani believes that Oliver Odell is behind the pit explosion. Why is this belief so strong?
He’s a dark guy, man. Even if we learn more as new information develops, I still think Hassani works well in a world of distrust.
In the world of counter-terrorism and this dark world of government action, keeping secrets close to your chest and not trusting anyone is a defense mechanism.
I think it’s smart espionage craft that doesn’t trust Odell or trust the evidence that supports him. The quality in Hasani is that people who do not trust can actually protect him.
EPS suggests that Hassani, Bex and Odell will solve the mystery together in the second half of the season. When did we see it? How will these two men work together considering that they can’t stand each other?
I think anyone with a day job has to work on the team every day, and whether you are with colleagues or not, you can be sure to go to work to get the job done. We all have our own methods.
It may be in the office or outside the site. Just because you work together as a team doesn’t mean you fully trust or are similar to each other, but you will do everything you can to get the task done.
Correct. So, how long does it take for everyone to start completing this task together? Can you tease this?
In the next few episodes, we will work together to follow some clues to get some answers.
I don’t know if Odel and Hassani would be fused together if it weren’t for Bex’s compelling nature and our trust, but I think Bex will promote that in the next few episodes.
Can’t wait to see it. Team dynamics have always been one of my favorite parts of the series.
Great. I am mine too.
So, what will we see in our relationship with Hassani and Bex? Will we see it develop more? Will we see these two soon with Shane to see this mystery?
Oh, it’s very interesting. I love this story because it develops in Hunting Party Season 1 with Hassani and Bex’s relationship.
This is the family bond. Hasani feels like a protector of instinct and is responsible for leading the team.
Therefore, this role of leader can enhance their connection.
I think Shane is part of it, at least in relationships. Hassani sees him as a stupid little brother he must pay attention to, occasionally teasing.
But more information will be revealed about the pit, how it works and who is behind it. We tried to keep Shane out as much as possible because I think he had been professionally trampled on the prison guard and his security permit.
Hassan will continue to protect his darkness about certain things.
But, as the story suggests, we will also learn Shane has its own secrets and connections to pits we don’t want to. Everyone’s secret conflict is worth looking forward to.
I can’t wait. Can you laugh at how this season ends, and season 2 has potential?
The mystery continues to grow bigger as we find the plot behind and the plot after the explosion goes deeper. There are upgrades there. The serial killer continues to twist and fear. The psychological conspiracy of some serial killers is exciting.
The second season hasn’t explored much yet. We don’t know how many of these serial killers have escaped or where. All season ones took place within a few weeks.
So far, these serial killers may have been in trouble.
But the longer the gap between where we are and when the explosion is, the more productive these serial killers will become. They will become more challenging and more hidden.
We want to reveal, find and give up on them, which will become more challenging. You need at least one or two seasons to surround them all.
That was encouraging. So for entertainment, what is your favorite serial killer arc so far? We can also include the plot of Monday.
I love working with David Ramsey again. He is an incredible talent and has a great performance. He is also a director and has achieved great success in his career. It was a real treat to be able to work with him again.
His killer is one of my favorites because without much effort, it includes a cult-like storyline where he can focus himself in the center of a group.
He is a meditation character, but he is also physical. So there are other opportunities to have physical disputes and we may have some action sequences to participate. This is exciting.
The mentality and psychological dimensions he brings to serial killers are fascinating. So, this Arlo Brandt episode will air on Monday, March 10th and is one of my favorites.
I’ll definitely put it in. It’s fun to hold an arrow reunion.
So do I. The plot’s director James Bamford is also Arrowhead EP and director, initially as a stunt coordinator. For us, it was a party too.
It’s great to work with David Ramsey and James Bamford again.
Thank you again for your precious time. I hope you guys have another season.
The Hunting Party aired on 10/9C on Monday and the next day on Peacock.
